GRAMMATICALIZATION PATH OF THE LINGUAL UNIT MI̮ IN THE SELKUP DIALECTS
The article studies the grammaticalization path of the Selkup lexical unit mi̮. The analysis of the Selkup dictionaries discovers the lack of the common interpretation of this lexical unit. The presented study aims to develop a possible strategy for the representation of the semantic and morphological information of Selkup mi̮ in the Selkup dictionaries. It is shown that for the representation of the grammatical and semantic status of mi̮ it is necessary to clarify its transitional state and define it as: 1) indefinite pronoun (substitution for nouns and verbs); and 2) the element serving for the formation of the new lexemes and compound words in phrases and sentences.
Keywords: the Selkup language, grammaticalization, semantics, grammaticalization paths, word formation
