Abstract

The paper dwells on linguistic and textual discrepancies in the first five psalms of handwritten copies of different periods of the famous written records: fifteenth-century Psalter divided into sections for liturgical use; Psalter of the seventeenth century from the collection of the Trinity lavra of St. Sergius; Old Believers’ Psalter of mid-eighteenth century. There were found numerous graphical, phonetic, and morphological discrepancies in these copies. Lexical peculiarities are discussed in terms of lexical synonymy, which can be a useful material to study paradigmatic relationships in the lexicon of the Old Russian and Church Slavonic languages as well as to establish the vocabulary of these languages. Linguistic and textual discrepancies in handwritten copies of Psalter reflect the complicated interaction between various intra- and extra-linguistic processes, as well as functional trends typical of Russian written records of the 15th – 17th centuries. The author used historical and linguistic factual material that had previously not been analyzed.
