EasyChair Preprint 8824

Abstract

The article presents an analysis of four archival Mansi sources of the second half of the XVIII century, compiled by two independent authors in the same geographical area and practically in the same time period: the first of them is the Solikamsk archpriest – Simeon Cherkalov, the second is a German scientist-encyclopedist – Peter Simon Pallas. A comparative study of the data of these dictionaries allows us to find out how they correspond to each other and what the common innovative features identified in them can tell linguists.

Keyphrases: Cherkalov, Mansi dialects, Pallas, XVIII century, archival data
