The Hyphenated Spelling as a Stage in the Formation of Particle же spelling.

Abstract

The article is devoted to hyphenating particles, like же(жъ) in the 19th century. The purpose of the article is to state a codified and common spelling norm, trace its dynamics and find out the role of the hyphenated use of particles played at this stage. Particle spelling codification is represented in academic dictionaries and grammars of the 19th century. The article presents some facts of codification and patterns of the use of a hyphen in the design of words of this part of speech. However, throughout the 19th century, the particle же(жъ) is written with a hyphen, though the number of separate spellings exceeds the number of hyphenated. Having analyzed the patterns with the particles же(жъ), Ya.K. Grot finally legalized their separate spelling in the works of analytical and codifying nature at the end of the 19th century.
