The research material was provided by contexts from the Russian National Corpus. The researchproblem is the lack of uniform spelling for the particle taki, evidenced by different variants of spelling (separate or hyphenated)in different historical periods, which can be traced in the texts from the period between the XIX and the earlyXXI centuries. An analysis of spelling dictionaries, manuals, and reference books on Russian spelling and punctuationof the said period has revealed that there is no single standard rule for the spelling of the particle taki, even in publicationsthat complement each other. An attempt is made to reveal the main reasons for the lack of the uniform spellingof this particle. The relevance of the research is due to the preparation of an already announced new code of rules forRussian spelling and punctuation, in keeping with modern tendencies of language development. The article was writtendue to the need to unify the spelling of the particle taki and to formalize this single spelling rule in all textbooks, referencebooks, and dictionaries.
