Abstract. The paper aims to identify peculiarities of functioning of action nouns ending in -u in journalistic texts of the early XX century written in the Tatar language using the Arabic script. Scientific originality of the study is conditioned by the fact that for the first time in the Tatar linguistics, the author examines functioning of grammatical categories by the material of the "Вакыт" and "Кояш" newspapers. The following conclusions are justified: the Tatar newspaper texts of the mentioned period basically contain the Oghuz and traditional Turkic grammatical forms, but in the inter-revolutionary period (1905-1917), action nouns ending in -u became more frequent in comparison with earlier periods of the Old Tatar literary language.
Key words and phrases: старотатарский литературный язык, татарская периодическая печать, язык газеты, грамматическая система, имя действия, Old Tatar literary language, Tatar periodicals, newspaper language, grammatical system, action noun
