Is this not a goal?

In the comments, they often write something like: well, yes, there was another stress before or there is the meaning of the word-but the essence of this does not change! I don’t know what kind of people are there, this overflowing, flowing fabric of the tongue personally fascinates me personally. I would understand - where the words come from and where they go, why speech creations change. Is this, as they say, not a goal? And simply - I am interested in finding tiny and forgotten episodes from the life of the language. Small pull, as they used to say. But we will save for eternity. Someone will say that all this nonsense is not worthy of eternity. But nothing, let it be.

And then - can we know for sure that it will be important and valuable for future generations? I was here in Yaroslavl. It was there that a handwritten collection was found at one time, which included the list of “Words about Igor's Regiment”. And so, looking at the museum there is the so -called “Catherine List” made for Catherine II, I thought about this. As you know, the document found by Musin-Pushkin burned down during a fire in 1812, and only the first edition and a couple of such lists remained from him. But in them the text is not reproduced accurately, there it is divided into words, “errors” are corrected, incomprehensible words are understood as far as possible. In the first edition, even the name has been changed. There was no copying technique at that time, and it never even occurred to anyone to force the scribe to make a list as close as possible to the original text, with all errors, blots, damage to the text, and preferably with the drawings of letters. Could then antiquities lovers think how happy the modern scientists would see these mistakes-lining, what an invaluable source would be such a copy! And there would be much less disputes about the authenticity of the “word”.

So we will not neglect the "unimportant".

Recently, for example, I heard a phrase on TV: “I recall how in the 70s they went out into the street to shout:“ Freedom of Angela Davis! ””, I remember that Anzhela was then pronounced with an emphasis on the second syllable ... I began to reflect, and in my memoirs the option with an emphasis on the first syllable was a little later. I well remember these shouts: Freedom to Anzhele Davis and then Freedom to Luis Corvan . Now the Wikipedia, by the way, gives an option ANNELEL . But then, in the early 70s? How did you say on TV? As the people said? I began to ask everyone, everyone remembered differently. Then I was reminded of Vysotsky’s song “The Victim of Television” (1972), about which I, to my shame, forgot: well, in the closed, at the cottage, / where, to regret, intrusive service, / I watched the programs, / everything stood up for Angela Davis ... (writing - Angela or Angela - this is a separate question). So, the option with stress on the first syllable existed then. I did not know (I was still a younger schoolgirl) that the people compared swearing ditties about Angela Davis (in one she rhymed with the jeans "Levis"). There, of course, was Angela : this stress is much more convenient for a two-word size. But interesting: if about a hairstyle, did anyone say the hairstyle of “Angela Davis” ? It's hard for me to imagine it. By the way, about the hairstyle. There is also a song by Garik Sukachev and “untouchable” “Freedom of Angela Davis!”, There is such a text: such, brother, you won’t find / I searched, but I no longer hope / he wore a platform under a brown claw / and the hairstyle “Angela Davis” / Freedom Angele Davis! / From Angela Davis Hands! Here, for example, you can listen to: http://player.mycrealife.ru/track/1075545_84936237 . It is interesting there: in the line of freedom Angela Davis, the stress, of course, on the second syllable, but also in the line from Angela Davis Hands !, Where the poetic size requires stress on the first, nevertheless, also rather on the second. But then there is different stress. That is, apparently, initially there was a fluctuation between the more official ANNELLE and more folk Anzhel . Now ANN WEAR has won, because recently the influence of the English language on Russian has recently intensified.

And returning to the hairstyle. With the hairstyle now, probably, there will be Angela . This happens. For example, Newton’s stress was adopted earlier, and now an emphasis has been established by Newton , closer to the source language. Accordingly, we are talking about Newton beam . But in the Bulgakov context, it seems natural to say: think, Newton's binom!

Or here is another story about stress. As you probably know, in the word to indulge the correct stress - on the third syllable ( pamper ). So they say dictionaries, textbooks and manuals on speech culture. And the stress is laid out as “not rivers.” This, however, is a very common mistake. Everyone remembers the cartoon about Carlson, where he said by V. Livanov’s voice: “I am Shalya, that is, I will have a break.” In the word Shalya , by the way, he pronounces the first vowel in an old manner, approximately like Shel or Shylya . So. I will , of course, be wrong. But I don’t smoke in the phrase, and so, I indulge in saying that I indulge in it seems strange to me. Maybe such a distribution of stresses in values ​​has been outlined? In the dictionaries there is nothing about this so far, let's see how the events will develop.

And I was always intrigued by the competition of stresses in the name of the state of Israel - in the Russian language, of course. I remember that among the older people, many pronounced Israel . By the way, the example from the Green Tenter L. Ulitskaya, where the hero is called to the Lubyanka and a certain captain says:

- In a word, I will not hide from you, you and your family came from the state ... - Then he made a meaningful pause, cleared his throat and said in disgust: - Israel. - He put an emphasis on the second “and”, and it turned out ominously.

This stress, of course, is socially marked. Either as a sign of speech of employees of "organs" or nomenclature. Either as common. Here, by the way, a ditty is also remembered, which begins with the words “Tired of living in Ryazan” and in which Israel rhymes with a quadrille . But on the other hand, in the Russian language was the name Israel , full of Israel and people with the middle name of Israilevich , and the stress has always been on “a”. Where does this stress on the last syllable in the name of the state? We can only assume that under the influence of stress in Hebrew. Maybe from the military and diplomats who established friendship with the newly -made state, not yet knowing that soon world Zionism would be almost the main enemy? Party propagandists picked up from them. The intelligentsia preferred the stress of Israel , although it further from Hebrew. It won. Remember, by the way, such a heroic song that ended with the words: this song has developed among the people / Sing, Gori, to the end of the guise / guy, this was the name of Volodya / He went to Israel today (1969) http://akkord-guitar.ru/1886-Akvarium-kommunisty-malchishku-poymali.html

In general, all this is terribly interesting and very poorly restored.
