metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Th e article examines the problem of codifying the norms for the use of capital letters in
  the Russian texts of the second half of the 18th — fi rst half of the 19th centuries. Th e author
  argues that during this period there was a signifi cant number of textbooks, grammars, which
  determined the features of capital letters use, while they implemented one of two models for
  constructing this section — with a brief or lengthy description of the rules. In particular, in most
  grammars there is a rule of using capital letters when writing pronouns. Based on three articles
  by Nikolai M. Karamzin of 1802–1803, the author demonstrates that the usage of the author’s
  texts by Karamzin diff ers signifi cantly from the norms fi xed by grammars. On the one hand, the
  area of capital letters use when writing pronouns by Karamzin is broader and covers cases of use not described by grammars: a) refl exive, relative and attributive
  pronouns (along with personal and possessive pronouns noted by
  grammars), while in most cases (46 out of 50) pronouns are used
  in the anaphoric function; b) forms of indirect cases (in grammars
  examples of the use of words in the form of the nominative case
  are given); c) pronouns correlated with the names of monarchs
  who ruled in previous eras. On the other hand, in contexts that
  require the use of capital letters, pronouns can be written in lowercase
  letters. It is suggested that the use of capital letters when
  writing pronouns in the texts of Karamzin can be explained by the
  same reason as the use of capital letters when writing nouns, noted
  by Yu. M. Lotman and B. A. Uspensky: in some cases, capital letters
  are used by Karamzin as a means of creating a certain author’s
  modality of the text.
