Novak I. P. The Karelian linguistic landscape in the dialectometric paradigm: scientific electronic edition. Petrozavodsk: KarRC RAS, 2025: Book review
Year: 2026
Type: book-review
Abstract: This monograph presents the process of constructing a multilevel classification of Karelian dialects. In developing this classification, the author relies on the phonological, morphonological, morphological, and lexical systems of the language’s dialectal areas. The research was conducted using contemporary methodologies and approaches. The proposed classification accounts for both the fragmentation of dialects associated with migrations of native speakers and their mutual influence resulting from close contact between various Karelian groups and neighboring peoples. The analysis of extensive material, including ancient written sources and data from related languages, allowed for the identification of specific dialectal differences and the tracing of their historical evolution.
