| Summary: | The Standard Russian language has completely lost the system of pronominal enclitics, but it did exist in Old Russian. This article deals with systems of pronominal enclitics attested in testaments and treaties of princes of North-Eastern Rus’. The main aim of the study is, fi rstly, to identify the range of pronominal enclitics and, secondly, to show diff erences between systems of clitics as refl ected in charts of the 14th and 15th centuries. This article contains brief theoretical information pertaining to the functioning of pronoun enclitics and a detailed analysis of the material of the charts. Its aim is to assess with what frequency enclitical forms of pronouns are replaced with their full-stressed variants, which would evidence the disappearance pronominal enclitics. In the result of the analysis, for each pronominal form an objective index is calculated, the coeffi cient of enclitisation, which allows us to understand on which stage of evolution a certain form and the system on the whole are. It has been discovered that in the mid- 15th century, quite signifi cant changes took place in the system of pronominal enclitics. By this time the enclitic of the dative plural ны was competely lost; the coeffi cient of enclitisation of the dative plural вы was reduced; the enclitics of the accusative singular мя and тя are more and more often replaced with their full-stressed variants. By the end of the 15th century, the system of pronominal clitics is practically lost, only the forms of the dat. pl. ми, ти are frequently used. Besides, the article analyses some examples illustrating the deviation in the order of pronominal enclitics in the phrase. |
