MODERN LITERARY EASTERN ARMENIAN MORPHOLOGICAL- VERB NORM AND CURRENTLY USED UNIVERSITY MANUAL

Abstract

Along with the development of literary language, over time inconsistencies arose between
the patterns of the normative grammar in the existing textbooks and in the literary language in
use. This is expressed at all levels of the language. These changes are significant in the verbal
system. The article presents the shifts in the morphological norm of modern literary Eastern
Armenian language, in particular, the discrepancies between the grammatical-morphological
norm recorded in the two textbooks used in the higher education system and the realities used
in the living language. Our observations are supported by linguistic factual material, which is
mainly taken from written sources posted on the Arevak website.
