Markers of Colloquial and Journalistic Functional Styles of the Modern Chuvash Language

The study of the formation and development of functional styles of the Chuvash language is important for understanding the evolution of the literary language. The study of this issue is especially relevant at the present stage, when the Chuvash language is faced with a strong influence of the Russian language, and some changes are being made to the approaches to the study of styles in domestic linguistics. This will allow us to better understand the processes occurring in the modern Chuvash literary language. This study uses the ideas of V.V. Vinogradov, A.I. Gorshkov, N.S. Valgina and other linguists. To date, the most studied part of the functional stylistics of the Chuvash language is the popular scientific style of the Yakovlev period (1871-1917). The purpose of the study is to identify and study the markers that are key elements of the functional styles of the modern Chuvash language using the example of colloquial and journalistic. The article analyzes the linguistic means and techniques used in different styles and identifies their main characteristics at the level of the lexical system, morphological structure and syntactic system. The differences and common features in the composition of linguistic markers of the colloquial and one of the book styles - journalistic at the lexical, morphological and syntactic levels are revealed. The methods of observation, description, compositional and partially content analysis are used. Language markers, as a rule, are illustrated by examples in the Chuvash language with translation into Russian. The results of the study can be useful for linguists in scientific research in the field of stylistics, teachers in the practice of teaching the Chuvash language and all those interested in the issues of functional styles of the Chuvash language.
