摘要

Some Remarks On the Development of Russian Prostore?ie The paper provides a brief outline of Russian prostore?ie (urban popular language), which is the supraregional language variety spoken by uneducated or half educated urban population, that doesn’t know the norms of standard language. Phonetic, morphosyntactic and lexical peculiarities of this language variety are illustrated by means of a real sample of Russian prostore?ie: a letter written by an 80-year-old woman. The article also focuses attention on the development of a new prostore?ie, which, with respect to old prostore?ie, is characterized exclusively on lexical plane, and is the source by which slang and professional elements penetrate into the standard language.
