Abstract

The influence of Chuvash-Russian bilingualism on the speech behavior of bilinguals reveals in violations of usage leading to the changes in the grammatical system of the Chuvash language. The special attention is paid to the analysis of changes in the field of syntactic combinability in verb-nominal collocations of the Chuvash language influenced by the dominant Russian language. The topicality is due to the increasing influence of the Russian language grammatical system on the speech peculiarities of the Chuvash speakers who are mainly bilingual. The differences between the Chuvash and Russian languages in the composition of means related to verb government lead to interference phenomena in the verb combinability of the Chuvash language. The aim of this paper is to observe the main tendencies in dynamics both in usage (spoken language, publicistic texts and etc.) and the codified literary language (normative dictionaries). The changes in the rules of verb government in the Chuvash language and preference for certain constructions, both case and postpositional, are studied chronologically from the early ХХ century to the present, special attention is paid to the last few decades. The changes in the structure of some models in verb-nominal word collocations of the Chuvash language, observed throughout this period, represent the change in the way or means of components’ syntactic connection. It is mainly the replacement of the case-forms by the postpositional ones or one form (case or non-case system form) by another one.
