Abstract. The aim of the research is to characterise the historiography of Kabardian dialects and subdialects in chronological order using personification and presenting classifications in a comparative aspect. The scientific novelty of the work is determined by the necessity to analyse and revise the existing classifications of dialects and subdialects in order to account for structural changes in the phonetics, morphology and lexicon of the Kabardian language. The paper analyses the classifications of Kabardian dialects and subdialects, traces the main differences in interpretation taking into account territorial peculiarities and identifies the differential features of each subdialect and dialect considering central and marginal characteristics. The obtained results demonstrate that Kabardian dialects and subdialects are differentiated by language features, including phonetic, morphological and lexical aspects, as well as areal characteristics.
Key words and phrases: адыгские языки, кабардино-черкесский язык, литературный язык, диалекты, говоры, Adyghe languages, Kabardian language, literary language, dialects, subdialects
