Теоретической основой выступили принципы критической социолингвистики и многоуровневая модель языкового сдвига Леноры  Гренобль,  рассматривающая взаимодействие макро-,  мезо-  и  микро-факторов. Результаты демонстрируют глубокий и многоуровневый сдвиг: эвенский  язык  практически  полностью  утратил  повседневную  коммуникативную функцию, сохранившись лишь в маргинальных символических и ритуальных нишах,  в  то  время  как  якутский  язык  испытывает  интенсивное  влияние русского, что проявляется в синтаксических кальках(нарушение порядка SOV),  лексической интерференции и упрощении морфологической системы, особенно в речи детей и подростков. Важным выводом является констатация потенциала для формирования стабильного бытового билингвизма у части старшеклассников, что указывает на возможные точки приложения усилий. Практическая  значимость  исследования  заключается  в  предоставлении  детализированной эмпирической основы для разработки адресной языковой политики и программ  ревитализации,  направленных  на  поддержку  функционального  билингвизма через согласованные меры на институциональном, образовательном и семейно-общинном уровнях в арктических регионах.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Within the context of the global crisis of language shift, investigating the mechanisms of  language  shift  in  vulnerable  language  ecologies,  such  as  the  Russian Arctic,  is  of paramount importance. This article presents a sociolinguistic analysis of the dynamics of language shift among the Even and Sakha-speaking population of the Srednekolymsk District, Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The primary aim of this research was to identify the specific features of language shift and the extent of this process  based on original field  materials. The  empirical  foundation  comprises  data  collected  during  expeditions to eight settlements in the district in 2025. A mixed-methods approach was employed, which included linguistic biographies, a picture description task to analyze spontaneous Sakha speech, and the narrative “Bridge Story” task to assess the language proficiency of the younger generation. The theoretical framework is grounded in the principles of critical  sociolinguistics  and  Lenore  Grenoble’s  multi-level  model  of  language  shift, which considers the interplay of macro-, meso-, and micro-factors. The results reveal a profound, multi-level shift in these settlements: the Even language has almost completely lost its everyday communicative function, surviving only in marginal symbolic and ritual niches, while the Sakha language is undergoing intense Russian influence, manifesting in syntactic calquing, lexical interference, and simplification of the morphological system, particularly in the speech of children and adolescents. A significant finding is the identified potential for establishing stable everyday bilingualism among a portion of high school students. Practically, the study provides evidence for developing Arctic language policies and  revitalization  programs  that  promote  functional  bilingualism  through  coordinated institutional, educational, and community measures</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>языковой  сдвиг</kwd><kwd>ревитализация  языка</kwd><kwd>билингвизм</kwd><kwd>эвенский язык</kwd><kwd>якутский язык</kwd><kwd>языковая идеология</kwd><kwd>языковой контакт</kwd><kwd>арктическая социолингвистика</kwd><kwd>критическая социолингвистика</kwd><kwd>языковая экология</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>language  shift</kwd><kwd>language  revitalization</kwd><kwd>bilingualism</kwd><kwd>Even  language</kwd><kwd>Sakha language</kwd><kwd>language ideology</kwd><kwd>language contact</kwd><kwd>Arctic sociolinguistics</kwd><kwd>critical  sociolinguistics</kwd><kwd>language ecology</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Работа выполнена в рамках научного проекта РНФ «Языки и культуры народов Севера и Арктики РФ: комплексные социогуманитарные исследования (на основе анализа больших данных)» по соглашению № 25-78-30006 от 22.05.2025</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This study was funded by the grant of the Russian Science Foundation “Languages and  Cultures of the Peoples of the North and Arctic of the Russian Federation:  Comprehensive Socio-Humanitarian  Research  (based  on  Big  Data Analysis)”No. 25-78-30006(22.05.2025)</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Heller M, Pietikäinen S, Pujolar J.
