„It goes on all the time and does not stop…“ On the evolutionary innovations in Czech dialects in Russia
The aim of this paper is to introduce Czech immigrants’ dialects spoken in several villages in the Northern Caucasus and Western Siberia, compared to those still remaining in the Ukraine. All of the examined dialects appeared as a result of different waves of Czech rural migration at the end of the 1860s and at the start of the 20th century. Up to the present day they show surprisingly good preservation of their original dialectal systems, and at the same time they have been strongly
influenced by their language surroundings. In some aspects of their systems, however, certain innovations are observed. The author traces the specific development of the verb imperfectivation with the non-iterative suffix -va- (končívat) and of noun animacy (nominative and accusative plural ďedečki), typical of all these dialects. In addition, the regionally limited spread of the ending -oj in the locative singular of inanimate nouns (v Novoros’ijskoj) and of the idiolectal purpose
conjunction aďbi is taken into consideration. Despite the fact that we are dealing with disappearing dialects, those innovations give evidence of a relatively high linguistic creativity of their speakers, stabilized as varietal innovations.
