Настоящая статья посвящена исследованию особенностей морфологии в речи индийцев, говорящих на южноафриканском варианте английского языка. В работе пристальное внимание уделено изучению морфологических манифестаций на материале самостоятельных и служебных частей речи. В статье приведены примеры, наблюдаемые в неформальной обстановке. Морфологические манифестации в южноафриканском варианте английского языка индийцев обусловлены влиянием со стороны родных индийских языков. Было выявлено, что к наиболее частотным типам морфологического варьирования принадлежат употребление имен собственных в форме притяжательного падежа, одинаковый способ формирования многосложных и односложных прилагательных, несоблюдение правил согласования времен у глагола, отсутствие предлогов, некоторых артиклей и специфические формы местоимений.

This article is devoted to the study of morphological features in the speech of Indians speaking the South African version of English. In the work, close attention is paid to the study of morphological manifestations based on the material of independent and official parts of speech. The article provides examples observed in an informal setting. Morphological manifestations in the South African version of Indian English are due to the influence of native Indian languages. It was revealed that the most frequent types of morphological variation include: the transformation of the case into possessive proper names, the same way of forming polysyllabic and monosyllabic adjectives, non-compliance with the rules of tense coordination in the verb, the absence of prepositions, some articles and specific forms of pronouns.
