Linguistic distinctiveness of P.A. Oyunsky's poetic texts: the specifics of using phonetic dialecticisms

This article is devoted to a linguistic analysis of phonetic dialectisms in the poetry of P. A. Oyunsky, the founder of Yakut literature. The study of phonetic dialectisms in the language of P. A. Oyunsky's poetry is of significant scientific interest in the context of studying the development of the Yakut literary language. Despite the fundamental role of Oyunsky's work in shaping literary norms, a systematic linguistic analysis of the dialectal basis of his poetic language has remained insufficiently developed. The relevance of this study stems from the need to study the dialectal basis of literary texts to understand the development of the Yakut literary language and preserve its cultural heritage. The aim of this work is to identify, systematize, and linguistically interpret phonetic dialectisms in P. A. Oyunsky's poetry as elements of his artistic system and markers of a specific dialect zone. The material for this study is a corpus of poetic texts from the first volume of the writer's collected works (1992). The study utilized a combination of linguistic analysis methods, including continuous sampling, descriptive and comparative methods for identifying and classifying dialect forms, and functional analysis to determine their role in the artistic structure of the text. The study identified and classified the main types of phonetic dialectisms: vowel correspondences (ao: дайды /дойду), consonants (б~м, с~Һ, т~д, р~ч, р~т: убайар/умайар, дуусатын/дууһатын), and diphthongs (ээ~үө, өө~үө:мөҕүрүөтүн / мөҕүрээтин). It was established that these elements perform not only nominative but also crucial stylistic functions in the poetic text (creating national flavor, rhythmic and melodic organization, and expression), shaping the author's unique idiostyle. The preservation of archaic diphthongs makes P. A. Oyunsky's poetry a valuable source for the historical phonetics of the Yakut language. The results of this study are of interest to specialists in dialectology, the history of literary language, and the work of P. A. Oyunsky.
