Вариативность окончаний глаголов в форме 3-го лица настоящего времени в говоре вокруг города Опочки (Псковская область, Опочецкий район)
The article is devoted to the variability of third person verbal affixes in the present tense in the dialect around Opochka. This work considers spoken texts of speakers whose speech includes verb forms with dialectal affixes. For each informant the quantitative distribution of word forms based on the conjugation, number, and stress is provided. Attention was also paid to how various sociolinguistic factors affect the use of dialectal affixes. These factors include the speakers' age, level of education, occupation, and place of living. In order to determine how the use of dialect forms of the verb depends on these sociolinguistic factors, the article employs the chi-squared test. Additionally, the process of the loss of dialect variants of affixes was analyzed based on the material of four speakers in whose speech variability was observed. The paper explores the implications of the results obtained from this analysis, which suggest that certain dialect affixes may be more stable than others.
