The classification of alternations proposed by Baudouin de Courtenay and the specifics of their implementation in diachrony and synchrony allows us to take a fresh look at the genetically correlating reflexes of pre-Slavic combinations, which are an indispensable attribute of research on the history of the Russian literary language and the definition of its genesis. The inclusion of these linguistic phenomena into various types of alternations, taking into account the semasiologization and morphologization of their functioning in the language system, allows us to reveal the reasons for the discrepancy in the fate of different groups of reflexes on the Russian soil. In particular, Baudouin de Courtenay explains the uneven adaptation of the South Slavic reflexes * tj and * dj, which determined the formation of mixed alternation with reflexes * dj in the system of the Russian literary language. This resulted in the asymmetry of * tj and * dj alternations, which was enhanced by their specific realization in particular morphological positions and the existence of systemic connections in the complete paradigm of verbs and verbal derivatives. In contrast, full-vowel and non-full-vowel combinations did not need to pass the phonetic filter, and the implementation inside root, where the main semantic meaning of any word is concentrated, contributed to their semantic and stylistic divergence.
