Abstract:

This paper deals with specific features of the noun government in the Russian every- day speech and its representation in the explanatory dictionary. The analysis considers the models of government, typical for codificated standard language. Three variants of the difference between the government in the colloquial speech and the standard language are described: 1) the noun is used without any governed words in the standard language and with the governed words in the everyday speech (nouns panika ‘panic’ andmarazm ‘dementia’ are given as examples), 2) the word is used with the governed words in the standard language and without any governed words in the colloquial speech (nounsbutylka ‘bottle’ and virus ‘virus’), and 3) the noun has different models of government in the standard language and in the colloquial speech (nouns master ‘master’, problema‘problem’, bred ‘delirium’ and glaz ‘eye’). The second variant is the least common. The variety of the models of government is more typical for the Russian colloquial speech. It’s mentioned, that this feature is connected with the specifical semantics of the word in the everyday speech as well as its general characteristics: spontaneity, naturalness and ellipticity.
