FORMATION AND FUNCTIONING OF PARTICIPLES OF THE KOLYMA DIALECT OF THE YUKAGHIR LANGUAGE (ON THE EXAMPLE OF PARTICIPLE WITH MARKERS = YOON, = SIOON, =DIOON) // Tomsk Journal of Linguistics and Anthropology. 2018. Issue 3 (21). P. 41-49

The article is devoted to one of the scantily studied verb forms of Kolymsky dialect of the Yukaghir language, which doesn’t have any consistent description – the participle. We study participles with suffixes = yoon, = sioon, = dioon, their formation and main functions. Having analyzed the language material we made conclusion that participles with these suffixes are substantivized, therewith a person (or a thing) is named according to his (its) action, specific occupation as well as the person (or a thing) exposed to an action. In view of the fact that participles with = yoon, = dioon are subjected to occasional substantivisation, having nominal features, i.e. they change forms according to case and number and in a sentence can be used as a subject, direct and indirect object, and an adverbial modifier. Participles with = yoon can be used to make analytic structures with participial form of the second component and analytic constructions, which are formed by the two-word combination of the first component expressed by a participle and the second component expressed by an auxiliary verb which shows grammar features of a person, number and tense. Participles with this suffix are often used to express a continuous action happening at the moment and formed with the affix = nu. Participle with the suffix = dioon and a negative participle with = sioon are subjects to adverbialization. It is shown that the participle with = sioon is made from qualitative verbal stems and is used in attributive function. The negative participle with = sioon is exposed to adverbialization. The author comes to the conclusion that in negative forms, participles with suffixes = sioon/= chuon are used as an adverbial participle. The participles with = dioon are formed from stems of intransitive/transitive verbs in the passive voice.

WORD-FORMATIVE FAMILY WITH THE CHIE ‘COLD’ IN THE LANGUAGE OF FOREST YUKAGHIRS // Tomsk Journal of Linguistics and Anthropology. 2019. Issue 3 (25). P. 63-71

The article describes the main methods of word formation in the language of Forest Yukaghirs based on the analysis of the word-formation nest with the top chie ‘cold’ in the derivational-semantic aspect. It is shown that this word-formation nest belongs to the number of macro nests, consisting of a large number of derivatives, is strongly developed and have multi-step levels (forms four degrees of derivation, each of which contains from 3 to 9 derivatives, and contains 24 members). It’s identified word-formation paradigms and lines of this word-formation nest. It is shown that on the paradigmatic level a word-formation nest with a top chie ‘cold’ is represented by 6 paradigms, on the syntagmatic level – by 18 word-formation lines, representing a series of single-root words connected by consistent motivation relationships. The word formation lines of this word formative nest are both binary and polynary, containing from two to five components. Derivatives of the derivational nest are specified, the meanings of the derivational affixes of each derivative are indicated. The characteristic is given to partial-specific features of a word-formation nest with a top chie, which includes units of different parts of speech such as a noun, verb, qualitative verb, action name, inter-word word, adverb. Using the example of a word-formation nest with a top chie ‘cold’, it is shown that the word-formation of nouns in the Kolyma dialect of the Yukaghir language can occur through lexicalization of word combinations. Since there are no word-formation dictionaries in the Yukaghir language, the creation of lexicographic descriptions of the Kolyma dialect of the Yukaghir language is a very relevant direction in Yukaghir linguistics. Studying the composition and structure of the word-formation nest will allow us to understand the structure of the word-formation of the Yukaghir language as a whole, to identify the word-formation potential of a different words, to determine, clarify or reveal the semantics of a word-formation affix.

ITERATIVENESS AS ONE OF THE TYPES OF PREDICATE PLURALITY OF SITUATIONS IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE FOREST YUKAGHIRS // Tomsk Journal of Linguistics and Anthropology. 2021. Issue 2 (32). P. 58-67

The relevance of this research is due to the fact that in Yukaghir linguistics the verb of the forest Yukaghir language has not been studied from the point of expression of the functional-semantic category of aspectuality. The theoretical and methodological basis was the works of famous Russian scientists in the field of aspectology: Yu. S. Maslova, A. V. Bondarko, V. S. Khrakovsky and others. It is known that aspectuality is a functional-semantic category that includes interacting linguistic means (morphological, word-formation, lexical, etc.) that serve to convey character and distribution actions in time. This article is the first to describe the main morphological and lexical ways of expressing one of the types of quantitative aspectuality in the language of the forest Yukaghirs — iteration. On the basis of the actual linguistic material, it is concluded that specialized morphological (grammatical) and lexical means are used to implement the iterative meaning. The main grammatical inventory of means of conveying iterative meaning in the language of the forest Yukaghirs has been determined. So, the affixes -yi, -ii-, -ui- with iterative semantics are universal, i.e. join the stems of both transitive and intransitive verbs. Indicators of iteration for intransitive verbs are the affixes -y-, -sii-, — (n) dy-, -dya-, for transitive — -t-, -s-. The iterative value is also conveyed by the habitual metrics. In the language of the forest Yukaghirs, the suffixes -nu-, -nun-, -nunu- are used to express the habitual meaning, i. e. regular or constant repetition of an action that is an ability, inclination, or a characteristic feature of a participant in an event. The lexical means of expressing the idea of iteration can include adverbs of time such as pugame ʽin summerʼ, youleme ʽeveningʼ, ideinede ʽsometimesʼ, postpositions such as chichkin ʽduringʼ, designating repeating periods of time; actions such as uskuom ʽusuallyʼ, chuote ʽalwaysʼ, denoting a relatively regular repetition of an action; adverbs of the measure and degree type as atahlid'e ʽtwiceʼ, n'ingel'id'e ʽmany timesʼ, denoting the number of manifestations of the action.
