VERBS OF CLOSING AND OPENING IN WESTERN KHANTY
DOI: 10.23951/2307-6119-2017-4-16-28
This article deals with verbs of closing and opening in the Western local idioms of Khanty (the villages of Ovgort, Muzhi, Vosyahovo, Tegi). The data were collected during fieldwork. The Khanty material is considered within a broader typological investigation adopting the frame-based approach to lexical typology. I discuss the semantic distinctions in the domain concerned and the categorization of the basic frames, pointing out some dialectal variation. The asymmetry between the subdomains of closing and opening is also taken into account, as well as some metaphoric shifts accompanied by morphosyntactic changes.
Keywords: Khanty, verbs of closing, verbs of opening, semantics, lexical typology
