Abstract
Genre marker parameter of dialectal speech is discussed based upon the comparative assessment with practice of genre marker linguistic corpuses, and dialect subcorpus of the National Russian language corpus, Saratov Dialect Corpus and Tomsk Dialect Corpus. The problems of representativeness of dialect genres in the corpus and principles of determination of this parameter in texts in Tomsk Dialect Corpus are separated. It is proved that determination of genre limits in the dialect corpus is specific in comparison to the literary language. DOI: 10.5901/mjss.2015.v6n2s4p99
Highlights
Corpus linguistics of the end of XX century became indispensable part of the linguistic studies and formed as the independent scientific direction, represented by the range of large projects such as British corpus (BC), Czech national corpus (CNC), National corpus of Russian language (NCRL) and studies (Kilgarriff; Catherine, Fillmore, Atkins; Martin; Oakes; Sinclair)
The genre is one of the parameters of metatextual marking of majority of famous corpuses; this is the sign, which characterizes the texts on the whole
In the genre relation in ideal the corpus should represent the system, reflecting the diversity of genre content of language and at that the different genres must be represented proportionally to each other. This principle is not always followed, as an example we can state the corpus of modern American English language (CCAE), in which the genre strategy is one of the principles of quantitative selection of the material and structure of corpus on the whole, that’s why at the request “the quantity of word usages in texts divided into 5 groups, is approximately similar – 70-80 millions

Genre Aspect as Metamarker of Tomsk’s Dialect Corpus Studies of the Middle-Ob Dialects. Genre marker parameter of dialectal speech is discussed based upon the comparative assessment with practice of genre marker linguistic corpuses, and dialect subcorpus of the National Russian language corpus, Saratov Dialect Corpus and Tomsk Dialect Corpus. The problems of representativeness of dialect genres in the corpus and principles of determination of this parameter in texts in Tomsk Dialect Corpus are separated.
