Abstract

Nowadays the main task of the orthoepic dictionaries of the Russian language is not only to report information about the normative pronunciation and stress of words, but also to refl ect the whole variety of orthoepic variants peculiar to the literary language. However, there are some cases when in the usage of native speakers, it is not the normative version that prevails, but the one that is marked as erroneous in the dictionaries. Thus, the noun tolika in the modern literary language has pronounced accentual fl uctuations of normalization (dictionaries do not recommend the tolika version and only admit the tolika, nevertheless, the fi rst variant predominates in the usus of literary-speaking respondents). The recommendations of the dictionaries were obviously valid for the period of the late 18th — early 20th centuries, when the only possible accentuation was on the second syllable. However, judging by examples from poetic texts, starting from the 1930s the stress in the word shifted to the fi rst syllable. The results of the orthoepic experiment, involving respondents of three different age groups, confi rm that in the modern literary usus, the variant with the emphasis on the fi rst syllable is prioritized (in the younger group of the subjects, 100 % of the informants chose tolika variant). Thus, orthoepic recommendations in dictionaries require correction in accordance with the modern scientifi c concept of making codifi cation decisions based on the actual prevalence of the variant in the speech of educated people.
