This research project undertakes a comprehensive analysis of linguistic variables within the Russian language, drawing inspiration from the seminal work of Labov and Trudgill on sociolinguistic variation. The project aims to identify and analyze key linguistic features that exhibit variation across different social groups, geographic regions, and stylistic contexts. The methodological approach will involve a mixed-methods design, combining quantitative analysis of corpus data with qualitative analysis of interviews and ethnographic observations. Specific linguistic variables to be examined include pronunciation, lexical choices, and grammatical structures. The project will also investigate the social meanings and functions associated with these linguistic variations, examining how they contribute to the construction of social identity and the negotiation of social relationships within the Russian-speaking community. The ultimate goal is to provide a nuanced understanding of the dynamic interplay between language and society in the Russian context, contributing to our knowledge of how language structures and reflects social realities. The findings will be relevant to academics, students and educational field specialists.
