| 1 | The article covers the process of researching the musical folklore of Chukchi, from the first references in the materials of travelers and missionaries of the XVIII–XIX centuries (G. Sarychev, F. Matiushkin, A. Argentov etc.) to the present time. Special attention is paid to the works of ethnographers of XIX–XX centuries V. Bogoraz, V. Kuznetsova, I. Vdovin and others, in which music is characterized as an integral part of ethnic culture. The article takes into account the data of archeology (N. Dikov), religious studies, philology and folklore studies (L. Belikov, V. Leontjev), art criticism (S. Ivanov, N. Kocheshkov), cultural studies, folk choreography (M. Zhornitsraya), linguistics (P. Skorik, P. Inenlikei) etc., which are relevant to musical culture. The musicological study of Chukchi folklore began in the XX century, it is associated with musical notation by E. Shirokogorova, sound fixations by E. Gippius, Z. Evald, E. Magid, P. Collaer, publications by H. Narva and V. Lytkin. The ethnomusicological studies associated with the works of I. Brodsky (Bogdanov), Yu. Sheikin, O. Dobzhanskaya, Z. Djachkova and others, multimedia publications of A. Lecomte, K. Tanimoto, etc. Some publications of cultural workers and leaders of Chukchi amateur musical-dancing groups (E. Rul’tyneut, O. Geuntonau, G. Tagrina, V. Tymnevje) also considered.

| 2 | Publication of the Comprehensive Dictionary of Ket (with Russian, German and English translation) (vol. I–II, LINCOM gmbh, MÜNCHEN, 2015, 943 s. Ed. by E. Kotorova and A. Nefedov is an important event for the studies in Yeniseic languages. This edition is a significant achievement in Ket language scholarship, which allows to understand better the structure of this unusual languages and serves as a good basis for further studies of Ket by future generations of Ket language scholars. The significance of this achievement is hard to overestimate, it is of great interest not only for linguists. Kets, as many other Siberian indigenous languages, did not have literacy, and the dictionary bridges information gaps on lifestyle, traditional economy, spiritual and material culture, migrations and inter-ethnic contacts, as well as on the geographical environment of Kets of past and present. | 1811 | |||||
| 3 | Chulym Turks are an indigenous people group inhabiting the middle flow of River Chulym in the Tomsk Region and Krasnoyarsk Territory who were officially recognized only in 2000. Some scholars claim the Chulym Turks to be part of the Khakass people, however, this is not considered justified (see works by A. P. Dul’zon, E. L. L’vova etc.) due to this becoming an excessively generalized grouping of ethnic groups detached historically and quite differing linguistically. There are several criteria possibly satisfying the demand for identifying an indigenous group: etymology of (last) names, sociological characteristics, language, etc. Nevertheless, the Chulym Turkic linguistic varieties have never been normalized, the system of writing has not been introduced which strongly hinders the ‘objective’ analysis of the quality of language use among the community. Moreover, the questions on language use in the All-Russian censuses of 2002 and 2010 demanded answers based on the population’s self-estimation only and did not provide a specification of the terms used (especially regarding language). The author suggests that the term native language (Russian родной язык) used in the questionnaire of the censuses actually implies a traditional ethnic language whereas the population’s understanding of the former term makes direct parallels with the original lexeme from which the term native (Russian родной) is derived: a ‘clan, family, kin’. Thus, when claiming the Chulym Turkic language to be a native language the respondent must not necessarily have reflected the language they were fluent at, while their selection of nationality (Russian национальность) may have been the result of preference in favor of this or that community with a strong economic and social motivation. In this light, the author believes that the drastic decrease of the Chulym Turkic population from 656 in 2002 to 355 in 2010 is accounted for the transformation of ethnolinguistic selfidentification rather than any ‘natural’ reasons. Keywords: Chulym Turks, ethnos, identification, ethnolinguistic self-identity | 1714 | |||||
| 4 | Tomsk Trans-Ob region is situated in the forest-steppe zone at the borderline of two large natural geographic zones. The accessibility of Tomsk Trans-Ob is instrumental in discovering the models and mechanisms of cultural interaction between populations of Western Siberia in a wide chronological range. Thereupon the importance of using available archaeological monuments’ sources in their archaeological context is determined. The article concerns materials of Cherdashny Log III burial mound, which dates back to VI–VIII centuries A. D. They include 119 intact vessels and their fragments, 20 of which are ornamented with rollers. The analysis of roller ceramics spreading and its correlation to archaeological structures allows to discover the funeral rite’s peculiarity according to which putting vessels with roller ornaments into graves was not customary. In general they were discovered in burial mounds’ floors, and this fact shows that it was used for funeral activities. Thereupon it is possible to conclude that this peculiarity of the roller ceramics place in the burial mound’s planigraphy is caused by the chronological order when funeral actions were held some time after the burial. The article also concerns the main concepts of roller ceramics appearance in Western Siberia. With regard to them there are two points of view. The first is related to the migration approach. According to it the roller ceramics origin is associated with the territory of Western Siberia including Yakutia and Zabaikalie, where it exists from late Stone Age to the late Middle Ages. According to the second approach, roller ceramics appearance is connected with cultural borrowing and it is an epochal question.

| 5 | The relevance of the topic is defined by the ongoing discussions currently taking place in Germany on the correlation of national and European identity levels of Germans. The scientific novelty of the approach presented in the paper is defined by its addressing to the problem of attitude of the German society towards “the recent historical past” and its influence on the transformation of national self-consciousness of Germans within the frameworks of European identity formation. The conventional historiography considers the problem of German’s attitude towards “historical succession” while the author pays attention to the problem of “collective guilt” of German nation for the crimes of Third Reich, also considering the issues of “separated German nation” while existence of German Democratic Republic and Federal Republic of Germany. The article demonstrates the direct influence of the problem of overcoming the historical past on the transformation of national and formation of European identity levels of Germans. The evolution of German nation concept and the concept of historical policy before and after separation of Germany is considered in a close relation with the process of building the European identity, German intellectual elite and government being its main actors. The specific properties of the mentioned processes are also peculiar to western and eastern Germans as well as the influence of world society on these processes. The conclusion is made about the formation in present Federal Republic of Germany the careful policy of updating the national identity of Germans and consolidation of German nation within the frameworks of universal principles of legal state and values of European democracy. Keywords: National identity of Germans, the German nation, European identity of Germans, historical memory, historical policy | 1417 | |||||
| 6 | The article describes some of the interjections and modal words of the Khanty language. These are the modal words and interjections, which can act as parenthetical components of the sentence. The article also elucidates the other distinctive feature of this category of words: they convey expressiveness, emotionality, subjective modality. Examples are given from the texts in Kazym and Wakhovski dialects of the language. For Kazym dialect there is also the material, which is recorded by the author. It is noted that in the Khanty language, there is a certain group of introductory words, which are mainly the modal words, though not any. These are those modal words that point to the degree of reliability of reported information, express certain emotions or attitudes, serve for establishing and maintaining contact, characterize a train of thought, point to information source. In Khanty, these are words like ałpa ‘evidently’, sorni χătł ‘what a happiness!’, vante ‘look!’, śŏχtijn ‘however it is possible!’, nεš ‘(it) appears’, etc. In the description of the isolated examples of interjections and modal words in Khanty it is registered that their entry into the phrase as an additional (“accumulating”) semantic component is typically emphasized. Especially it concerns interjections, which are defined as unchangeable words serving for the expression of emotional and strongwilled reactions to reality. As for semantics, it is also noted that interjections regularly enter into the structure of fixed collocations and phraseology units. It is revealed that these collocations have mainly expressive character. The data from informal conversations appear to confirm the main conclusions of the author. Keywords: language modality, subjective modality, interjection, modal words, parenthetical components, Khanty (Khanty language) | 1381 | |||||
| 7 | Analysis of the distribution of genetic haplogroups reveals the homeland of these groups and clarifies the direction of migrations of the genetic ancestors of the modern Samoyedic and Yeniseian people. This article examines migrations of ancient Samoyeds and Yeniseians based on the analysis of Y-chromosome markers. The main male haplogroup of Samoyeds is a genetic haplogroup N1b. Ancient Samoyeds migrated from Sayan to the Lower Ob region along the Yenisei River. Samoyeds then migrated from the north to the south along the Ob River. These results are thus, a confirmation of the so-called Sayan theory, according to which Sayan region is a place of origin of Samoyeds. Ancient migrations of Yeniseian people are marked by haplogroup Q1a3. This group is represented with a frequency of 84% in the gene pool of Kets. Genetic ancestors of Kets migrated from Sayan to the north along the Yenisei River. In their majority, Selkups also share the haplogroup Q (66.4%). Thus, the core component of the gene pool of Selkups is the component that is related to that of Kets. Genetic ancestors of Selkups are ancient migrants from the south of Central Asia (Tajikistan, Turkmenistan). Reconstruction of ancient migrations of Samoyeds and Yeniseians suggests that haplogroup Q1a3 could be present in the Samus culture and other cultures of the Middle and Upper Ob. Genetic data correlates well with the archaeological and linguistic methods. Conclusion. The use of genetic data can more accurately identify the ancient migrations of the populations and verify various existing hypotheses based on linguistic and archaeological data.

| 8 | Ancient settlement Shelomok is situated to the south of Tomsk city, on the right side of the river Tom. It occupies a separately standing isolated hill between villages Anikino and Kolarovo. The artifact is multi-layered and dates to the late Bronze Age, early Iron Age, Middle Ages. The ancient settlement occupies almost the whole top of the isolated hill that has steep slopes. On the least vulnerable side, there are artificial consolidations in the form of a pit and two earthworks. The artifact is an action-packed history of study. In 1888 the settlement and findings from its territory were mentioned for the first time, 125 years have passed since that moment. Regular archeological excavations are being performed here since 1944, but they picked special intensity at the end of 1970s – the beginning of 1980s. As of today, the collection from this site is estimated at thousands of items, but, unfortunately, the materials were published only selectively and had never been issued as a whole. Evidence of iron works production is of particular interest, as it allowed the researchers to reconstruct the technological processes of the Middle Ages. In 2011–2012 exploratory works on the artifact were carried out, aimed to survey the data on the current state of the site. Geographical position was plotted and survey of the isolated hill was performed by laser scanning, administered by experts of Tomsk Polytechnic University using Leica Scan Station C10.

| 9 | The long-term INEL project (2016–2033), carried out at the University of Hamburg, aims to develop digital linguistic corpora and supporting infrastructure for a number of selected languages of Northern Eurasia. At present, corpora of Selkup, Kamas and Dolgan are being created. The project builds upon existing materials from various archive sources, including the Selkup archive of Angelina I. Kuzmina preserved at the University of Hamburg, Kamas audio recordings from the archives in Tartu and Helsinki, and Dolgan recordings provided by the House of the Cultures of Taimyr Peninsula. All the texts in the corpora are provided with a phonological transcription, morphological interlinear glossing, free translations; selected subsets also bear additional annotations for semantic and syntactic features, information status of referents, borrowings and code-switching. The corpora are intended for typologically aware grammatical research but may also be of interest for a wider audience. A number of satellite information resources are also being developed, contributing towards a more efficient research infrastructure.

| 10 | Visual Anthropology is a modern dynamic interdisciplinary "industry" of the humanities, based on research experience in the field of ethnography, sociology, history, cultural phenomenology, phenomenology of religion, social psychology, aesthetics and semiotics. The subject of visual anthropology is a set of visual presentations of social and cultural communities and traditions. In the interests of visual anthropology we get all available visual fixation and transmission of social and cultural forms of expression of meaning. Visual images take up a significant segment of the culture as a social-communicative system. Currently, the image has become a leading medium of expression and transmission of important information. "Visual turn" in the culture, which is associated with the focus shift from the semantic aspect of the image to its syntax, is recorded and described. Human ontology and culture fundamentally transformed in connection with this turn. The question about the "correctness" of the image disappears because of the elimination of its referential parameter. The image is now measured not by fidelity of reality, but on the effectiveness of its impact on the recipient: the priority shifts from its identity to its functionality. Since the entire anthropological reality is concentrated in this sort of images, the attitude to reality becomes technical, manipulative. Visual anthropology is actively formed as an integral research discipline, the focus of which is on visual acts - human action or set of actions (both synchronous and consecutive), relating to the visual image, i.e. is an active, aimed at the production, broadcast and use of a visual image. Limiting activation of visual culture sector determines the relevance of research in visual anthropology and makes it one of the most dynamic areas of contemporary humanities.

| 11 | The author considers the functioning of obscene words in the Buryat language as statements with different objectives, interjections and pejorative words. The research is based on data of the Barguzin dialect of the Buryat language, which preserved the vocabulary of this semantic field. It is revealed that the Buryat obscene words are not used in the speech for the purpose of sending, oaths, and as a neutral insertion. The frequent dyad: ütegen ‘vulva’ – ozgoi ‘penis’ is the core component of obscene words if western dialects of the Buryat language. It is used as interjections, which express extreme variety of emotional connotations (fright, surprise, admiration, regret, etc.). Formulas in question having resemblance with the sentences are curses aimed on extinction of the kin. Equivalent of the third component of "obscene triad" in the Russian language with the meaning 'futuere' is not so productive in the Buryat language. The author analyses the etymology of some words of this semantic field, describes some ways to protect from being cursed. The obscene words of the Buryat language are used not only in speech. They function in shamanic songs, connected to the continuation of the kin, and reversing infertility. Keywords: Buryat language, dialect, words, interjection, pejorative | 1200 | |||||
| 12 | The article deals with word motivation in the dynamics of language according to the data of a psycholinguistic experiment. The experiment was intended to analyze motivation of herbs names in the view of their linguistic development. There were chosen 23 Russian herbs names (names of wild herbaceous medical plants growing in the Western and Eastern Siberia), which were analyzed and classified depending on their motivation before the experiment. Respondents were to answer the question “Why do you think these plants have such names?” during the experiment. There were asked 54 respondents. 1242 given responses were determined into seven groups after the analysis of experiment data. The further study considered the amount of responses in each group. Thus all the chosen herbs names tend to be both motivated and not motivated. 12 of them show features of remotivation, lexicalization of the inner form of the word and demotivation. 11 names show small or no features of any dynamic motivation changes. No names have features of neo-motivation or idiomatic changes. It should be also noted, that some motivation features were not considered during the experiment and so need further studies probably appealing to other languages.

| 13 | One of the major systemic features of a part of speech is its numerous and diverse overlaps of different categorial functions. On the other hand, a set of forms, organized into a paradigm of a part of speech, is not a closed inventory as the forms of a particular part of speech interact with the forms of other parts of speech. Apart from common functions, each category features an extensive «covert» set of functions which can potentially be realized as long as it is allowed and required by the holistic architectonics of the paradigm. The gradual disappearance of some categories and emergence of others is always paralleled with redistribution of functions of each category. The paper focuses on the interrelation of the grammatical category of mood with the category of tense and, more generally the convergence processes in temporal and modal reference, as well as interrelation of modality and aspect. The study is accomplished in a diachronic and typological perspective which allows revealing numerous overlaps of the corresponding categorial functions of different members of a verbal paradigm as well as diverse categorial shifts emerging in the process of language evolution. The «substitutional» function of grammatical forms (e.g. the indirect modal interpretation of the indicative forms, the indirect modal interpretation of aspect constructions, or, on the contrary, the indirect Aktionsart interpretation of the modal forms, etc.) arising from the general principle of the categorial convergence is a crucial factor. | 1165 | |||||
| 14 | The paper reviews the analysis of the key aspects of Khanty sacrifice ritual (exemplified by Yugan Khanty group). 1) Addressees of the sacrifice: general deities (Katl’ ‘Sun’, Myx Anki ‘Mother Earth’, etc.); local deities (Jagun Iki ‘Oldman of Yugan-river’, Evut Imi ‘Devine Oldwoman’, etc.); home deity lunk. 2) The subjects making the sacrifice: ritual initiator; actors (masters of ceremony, leading actors, general actors, passive attendees); special role is played by the keeper of the deity. 3) Depending on the category of deity, the ritual is can be held: at any location, in the wood, near the water, at the vicinity of a particular settlement, at the sacred place of the deity, inside the sacred shed (ambarchik), inside the dwelling, etc. 4) The timing of the sacrifice ritual depends on the category of the deity, on the lunar cycle, on the life circumstances, other factors. 5) Types of sacrifice ritual: treatment - Pory; sacrifice of animals – Jir; giving of the objects. 6) Sacrificial treats. During the sacrificial treatments of the deities Pory, regular food and wine is offered. During the Jir, the meat of the sacrificial animal is boiled. Gifts to the deities include: clothes, scarfs, coins, garments for the deities, etc. 7) Actions: placing of the gifts at the location of the ritual; sacrifice of the animal; addresses to the deities; nods and turns following the Sun; partaking of the food and drinks. The analysis is based on the field data collected by the author in 1970s – 1980s. The paper closes with the sketch description of the exemplar ritual.

| 15 | The article deals with the stylistic device metamorphosis and peculiarities of its representation in Selkup fairy tales and world mythology. Metamorphosis together with hyperbole and metaphor is one of the most ancient and effective stylistic devices that is widely used in different folklore and literature genres. In modern linguistics this stylistic device is not thoroughly investigated. Moreover, there is no common point of view on the nature, grounds and motivation of metamorphosis. Every fairy tale and myth is a complex folklore work that contains all plot constituent parts, characters with their speech peculiarities, philosophic/instructive conclusions. Many aspects of fairy tales discourse need detailed linguistic study. Selkup fairy tales (for example, folk tales of Narym Selkups, the Parabel region fairy tales) and different ethnic myths (Aztec, Native American, Greek) served as the basis for linguistic research. During the analysis of folk and mythological plots the author determines ways, reasons, character and motivation of metamorphoses that happened with people/objects involved in the narration. Metamorphoses have different functions in mythological and fairy tales discourse, i.e. the mean of plot-building, way of revealing hero’s character or manner of creating emotional tension (climax). The grounds of transformation can be the following: “magical escape” motive, motive of turning into stone, touching or eating magical things, putting on/off skin of birds/animals. Metamorphoses that lead to the creation of animate as well as inanimate (toponyms, landscape parts) objects are considered in the article. The modern interpretation of metamorphosis in world literary tradition is analyzed.

| 17 | Comparative studies of two or several languages are a priority of the modern linguistic science. Such studies help discover similarities and differences in the structure and functioning of the languages under study, which in turn may serve as a basis for typological generalizations. There is a tendency to cover all the levels of language structure as well as every single phenomenon, although no such multifaceted comparison has been completed for a concrete language pair so far. Along with some other linguistic phenomena, those of text and discourse still remain to be explored. The main constituent of discourse is the speech act that follows the rules and principles of speech behavior inherent to a given language community. A key component of the speech act is represented by illocutionary force which characterizes the communicative intentions of a speaker and embodies the communicative function of an utterance. Various means of expressing every concrete illocutionary act can be represented as a field. Examination of this field allows us to discover how frequent and prototypical each single means realizing a given utterance in the language is. The field principle has proven to be a productive means for revealing relations existing in the lexical-semantic and grammatical system of language. The article introduces a new type of field, the communicative-pragmatic field, intended for the analysis of linguistic realization of communicative behavior of interactants. The first part of the paper defines the place of the field in question among other types of fields, and describes the principles of the organization of the field as well as its structure and composition. The aim of a communicative act or its illocutionary force is regarded as a dominant that provides a possibility to consolidate all possible speech act realizations with a given illocutionary force in a language into a field. Thereby “communicative-pragmatic field” is understood as the totality of utterances realizing the same illocutionary purpose and the same strategy of communication. The second part discusses the main principles and peculiarities of the linguistic analysis based on the communicative-pragmatic field approach through the example of several speech acts. It also presents some communicative-pragmatic fields in Russian-English and Russian-German comparison. Special attention is focused on the place of performative utterances and indirect speech acts in the composition of different communicative-pragmatic fields. As a rule, performative verbs and utterances are generally regarded as prototypical forms of the realization of a certain illocutionary purpose. The results of the investigations however support the conclusion that the role of performative utterances in the expression of an illocutionary force depends on the speech act class and speech act type. It is possible to distinguish three types of coherence: 1) illocutionary act can be realized only by means of a performative verb (ex. christen, excommunicate etc.), 2) performative utterances are prototypical for the realisation of the illocutionary act, but besides there are many other means to express it (ex. excuse, promise, thank etc.), 3) illocutionary verb denoting the aim of the action can never be used as a performative one (ex. threaten, deceive, offend etc.) | 1117 | |||||
| 18 | The article deals with the informativeness of a nonce word as the main principle of the nonce word creation process. The informativeness of a lexical unit is treated as the information which the sign contains (Galperin I.). The value of the information received from the lexical unit can be acquired from such parameters as its frequency of occurrence (the more unique the unit the more valuable the information is) (Martine A.), from its form (some models of word formation are more marked iconically than others, also from its semantics. According to those parameters nonce words can be considered of great informative value due to their uniqueness, combination of formal and semantic characteristics, expressiveness and axiological value. The nonce words under consideration are taken from the works of world-famous British writer Sir Terry Pratchett, who is widely known as a master of wordplay. The chosen nonce words can be examined as examples of word formation potential models dwelling specifically on the mechanism of their creation and functioning. Having analyzed some of the examples it can be suggested that the informative value of a nonce word is of great importance during the creation process. The nonce word can influence the Recipient through the uniqueness of its form which is often the violation of a certain norm (for example, the norm of combination of phonemes or morphemes). The nonce word may function as an expressive and emotional center of the utterance due to its originality and sometimes articulatory complexity as well as unnaturalness. The amalgamation of elements (formal as well as semantic) make the nonce word highly loaded semantically combining separate meanings of parts of a complex word and mixing them with enforced expressiveness and often ironic connotation due to iconically marked models of word formation. All those characteristics make a nonce word a valid choice for a Speaker to express a new idea which probably had no verbal equivalent so far on the one hand, and on the other hand this new creation possesses all the elements to influence and persuade the Recipient.

| 19 | The paper discusses the types of toponym formation of Selkup settlements of southern and central dialectal groups of Selkup. The analysis is based on more than 200 stationary Selkup settlements (yurts) which were found in the area of the Middle Ob in the second half of XIX – early XX centuries. The information about Selkup names of settlements was obtained from the publications of A. F. Plotnikov (1901), S. K. Patkanov (1911), V. Nagnibeda (1927), C. Papae (1952; the data collected in 1888), E. G. Becker (1965), as well as geographical maps of the period and unpublished sources: the data from church parish registers and the field notes of the author. Four major types of toponymic models of place-name formation and the areas of their distribution are defined. Two main toponymic areas approximately coincide with the boundaries of settlements of chumylkup (common formants -kynak, -nak, karamo) and syussykum (-kanet / -gayet, -dabu, -anga). For the area of the chumylkups it was found that the place names of the river basins of the Kenga (namely, upper and middle), the Chizhapka (lower and middle) and the Tym (upper and lower) are particularly similar in structure. Along the Ob there can be found areas with the attested suffix -n, and the adjective suffixes -l/l’ (in chumylkup) and -j (in the area of the southern dialects). In addition, the microarea identified with the suffix -sa / -tsa (without added nomenclature terms ed or et 'settlement') was outlined – the area along the Ob (between the mouths of the Parabel and the Tym). The identification of toponymic areas will allow researchers to speak more convincingly about the migration of various Selkup groups within their domesticated territory, and will provide the opportunity to draw ethnohistorical conclusions about the process of the development of the Middle Ob.

| 20 | Wedding ceremony is a complex set of customs and rituals, where we can find not only the social and legal norms of the present, but also preserved remnants of earlier stages of development. Development of native ethnography occurred in two ways: on the one hand, the actual material was accumulated in ethnography of peoples of the USSR, often only of a descriptive character and on the other hand, at the same time, the theoretical foundation for such research was developed. In the course of work on identifying the specific features of traditional wedding rituals of Tomsk Tartars, we tried to find the specific features of this ritual of microgroups, which formed the group of the Tomsk Tatars (Eushtins, Chats, Kalmaks). The authors who then described the rituals of different groups of Tatars (N.A. Tomilov, R.C. Urazmanova, F.T. Valeev) had no information about it. The information is sketchy. In our description of a wedding ceremony of microgroups of the Tomsk Tatars we employed field data, which was collected by the author of the paper in 2009–2012. We determined the following specific features of the traditional wedding of the Kalmak: plots of land were sometimes offered as the ransom of bride. «To pay» the ransom was hard, which was the reason for the long gap between the matchmaking and marriage; after wooing young couple a year or two; marriage portion was prepared after the matchmaking; the wedding was held the day after nikah; the wedding feast took place in the House of the bride. The Chats are marked by the following characteristics: horse races were held during a wedding celebration; when the bride was transported to her husband, bride wore a lot of clothes. The Eushtins: cradle conspiracy was spread very scarcely; a young couple could get acquainted by themselves. Thus, it becomes obvious that each microgroup had its own set of characteristic features in conducting the wedding ceremony (or a combination of sets), but to identify them in full requires further research and this has not yet been accomplished while writing this work, because these parts are missed in sources. By the way, over the last two or three centuries, microgroups fused into a united «Tomsk» group, and they established a common set of wedding ceremonies. However, the informants still have the memories of a specific character of a ritual. It is clear that this question requires further collection of data and additional comparative analysis. In conclusion, the Tatar culture consists of a variety of local options – Siberian (Tyumen, Tobolsk Tatars), Kazan (Kazan, as well as Chepeck, Perm). Materials were collected by the previous researchers and, first of all, N.А. Tomilov and the contemporary field data shed light on the «Tomsk» version of the local culture of the Tatar people, as manifested in the wedding ceremonies. The traditional wedding ceremony of Siberian Tatars was formed under the influence of the Kazan Tatars, so in the ritual area of «Siberian» (Tomsk, Tumen-Tobolsk) local varieties there are a lot of common features with the wedding ceremony of the Kazan Tatars.

| 21 | At the present time, population genetics has taken only the first steps in the study of the gene pool of the Southern Selkup. As a result of expeditions, data were obtained on the composition of male lineages of South Selkups. These data allow to solve a some problems of the ethnogenesis of this people. This article describes the structure of the gene pool of the Southern Selkup from data on Y-chromosome polymorphism. It is concluded that the spread of genetic lineages showed near-perfect correspondence with certain territories and ethnic groups of Southern Selkup. The article reveals the territorial origin of the genetic lineages and gives an approximate dating of the emergence of these lineages on the territory of the Narym Ob. There are suggestions that genetic lineages connect with carriers of certain archaeological cultures. It is concluded that the presence of most of the genetic lineages in the territory of Narym Ob to be dated already in pre-Kulai era.

| 22 | The bronze buckle from the burial mound Cherdashny Log III is a unique find for the early medieval Western Siberia. The authors give a detailed description of the plot with multiple characters, special attention is paid to the stylistic features characteristic of small plastics of the early middle ages. Further there is the emphasis on the position of a seated man in the center of the plaque. Apparently, the oriental sitting posture with the crossed legs is typical in numerous artifacts of the early iron period – a more archaic feature. This posture could be seen in the figures of warriors – heroes – kings, for example on the decorated coin from the female Sarmat burial, one of the Kobjakovskij mound (the outskirts of Rostov-on-Don), on the handle of a bronze mirror from the elite Sarmat burial mound оf the I cent. CE within the Sokolova burial on the southern Bug river, on the bone artifact originating from the Kalalygyr-2 settlement on the left-bank Khwarezm, on the coins of the Indosaka rulers Maues and Azes II (I cent. BCE – I century CE), on the coins of the Kushan kings Kudzhila Kadzif, Vim Kadzif and Khuvishki of the I–II cent. CE. These analogues testify to the Iranian roots of the central figure of the bronze buckle from the Chardshnyj Log III. There are also a set of analogues in the Celtic tradition. The paper analyses the semantics of the buckle from the Cherdashnyj Log. Based on this semantics the threeworld structure can be argued: the Upper, the Middle and the Lower world. Based on the burial inventory, the buckle itself originates from an elite burial event. One of the hypothesis regarding the buckle’s role – is the co-reference with the dead hero – the progenitor, demiurge – as a connecting element between the worlds.

| 23 | This paper examines Sakha causative and passive, focusing on double-accusative causative and impersonal passive. With regard to Sakha causatives, it is pointed out that the case-marking of causee is related to the type of causation meant. Double-accusative causatives are possible in Sakha. Additionally, Sakha allows impersonal passives, which are derived from both transitive and intransitive clauses. The unexpressed agent in impersonal passives must be human. Double-accusative causative is impossible in most Turkic languages other than Sakha, but possible in almost all Tungusic languages. Therefore, it is highly probable that Sakha doubleaccusative causative has developed through contact with Tungusic languages. In contrast to double-accusative causatives, impersonal passives are not possible in Tungusic languages but found in other Turkic languages. Thus, it is unlikely that Sakha impersonal passives have developed through language contact. Keywords: Sakha, valence, double-accusative causative, impersonal passive, language contact | 1068 | |||||
| 24 | The article contains the review of V. N. Basilov’s scientific activities and complete bibliography of his works. V. N. Basilov was one of outstanding Russian ethnographers. He made an enormous contribution to religious studies, especially to early forms including shamanism studies. His works (“Shamanism among the peoples of Central Asia and Kazakhstan”, Moscow, 1992; “Chosen by Spirits”, Moscow, 1984; “Cult of Saints in Islam”, Moscow, 1970; “What is shamanism? ” EO, 1997, № 5, etc.) have become classical. He also worked in other academic subjects, as the organizer and promoter of new areas of research. For almost all his life he was connected with the IEA. For a couple of years V. N. Basilov was a member of editorial boards of Etnologitcheskoje Obozrenie (EO) and Annual Field studies of IEA, in 1971–1978 he was the Academic Secretary and since 1987 up to 1998 – the Head of the IEA Central Asia and Kazakhstan Reseach Center. Besides he was one of those who had organized the exhibition “On the Silk Road, nomadic peoples of Eurasia” (1981–1982, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1989 – in Japan, Finland, Sweden and the United States of America); participated in the voyage on board of “Dmitri Mendeleev” to the Papua New Guinea and then published seven articles and essays based on collected matherials. He published over 30 articles in special editions (encyclopedias and handbooks on history, social and culture anthropology еtс.) and those appeared in on a wide range of readers. The range of scientific interests of V. N. Basilov cover traditional cultures of Central Asia and the Caucasus, nomadic culture, problems of ethnogenesis and ethnic processes, history and development of dwelling, place and prospects of social and cultural anthropology in modern society. Based on a large body of field data and on profound knowledge of sources and literature his works still have great theoretical and methodological significance. | 1066 | |||||
| 25 | The paper discusses the history of research on Nganasan shamanism of the period from the 18th century till present. The works on shamanism written by Russian and foreign ethnographers, linguists, musiclogists are studied. Dating back to the 18th century, the works of researchers and travellers mentioned shamanism in Samoyedic cultures. The detailed description of data on shamanism is found in the works of A. F. Middendorf, A. A. Mordvinov, P. I. Tretjakov written in the 19th century. The consistent ethnographic study of Nganasan shamanism dates back to the end of 1920s and was performed by Soviet researchers. Andrey Alexandrovich Popov described the rituals of the “Clean Chum”, documented the stages and procedures of the rituals, discussed the shaman rituals in the cultural context, and provided illustrations of the shaman’s clothes and artefacts. In 1978 during the fieldtrip Yurij Borisovich Simchenko collected and later published photo, video and text data of the Nganasan shaman rituals which are of great value. The research work of Galina Nikolaevna Gracheva focuses on shamanism in the context of old Nganasan beliefs about mothers of nature. In the 1990–2000s Nikolaj Pluzhnikov and Jean-Luc Lambert studied shamanism in the perspective of folklore texts (stories about shamans). The published catalogues of the museum collections of Taimyr Local Lore Museum, Museum of Ethnography on Lama Lake are a valuable source of ethnographic data. The linguist E. A. Helimski and the folklore researcher N. T. Kosterkina first published the texts on shaman rituals in Nganasan. Ethnomusicological research on shaman rituals of the Nganasans was performed by O. E. Dobzhanskaya. Unfortunately, at present the decline in shaman practices of the Nganasans is observed. The immediate heirs of shamans, who preserved the immitation forms of the shamanic activities, passed away in 2011–2012. In conclusion it should be noted that the Nganasan shamanism as a cultural phenomenon attracts interest of young researchers who participate in the conferences in Norilsk and Dudinka. The research topic is still strong and relevant which gives hope that there will be works focusing on the new forms of shamanic beliefs and rituals persisting in the modern life of the Nganasans.

| 26 | In article is represented the result of the analysis of a place of an accent in Vasjugan dialect on the archive collected by L. I. Kalinina in the 50–60th years of the XX century. It appeared that the rule of accent place depends on a part of speech. In verbs and pronouns the accent is paradigmatic, and its place depends on affix type. In names the accent is fixed on the first or second syllable. Accent fixing for certain vowels, probably, happened for a long time when vowels of the first syllable in east dialects still kept Proto Khant quality. If in the first syllable of the word were narrow vowels, the accent became fixed on the second syllable, in other cases – on the first syllable. Thus, the Vasjugan system of an accent has unique character: in a name and a verb two various types of an accent are presented: in a verb – paradigmatic, in a name – fixed depending on phonemic structure of a word form.

| 27 | For centuries, linguists have been interested in the possibility of a genetic relationship between Siberian and Native American languages. In 1968 in his fundamental work “The Ket Language”, A.P. Dulzon wrote: “The Ket language being the most studied in the group of Yeniseian languages has a very complicated and peculiar verb morphology system. This system has many typological correspondences in its main features with the verb morphology system of Basque, Burushaski, many Caucasian languages and Native American’s languages” (Dulzon 1968). This paper focuses on common problems connected with the extinction of the Ket language and the current sociolinguistic situation in areas where Kets currently reside. Work on recording, processing and digitalizing archived language data performed at the Department for Siberian Indigenous Languages of Tomsk State Pedagogical University is also described below. The paper concludes with a linguist’s point of view on the hypothesis of Dene-Yeniseian relationship and also a lay-person’s point of view on it.

| 28 | This article continues a series of research on a lingvocultural originality of Tomsk regional infosphere. The infosphere is understood as the actual communicative space of the region accumulating a variety of information streams bearing the sociocultural importance. The operational units of the infosphere are discursive practices. Discursive practice is the certain social practice realized in speech behavior of the audience. Minority discursive practice is a reflection of communicative activity of the small communities united by one or several extralinguistic factors. For example, the discourse of literary creativity of young residents of Tomsk is defined by a factor of creative socialization; discourse of political opposition – a protest factor; discourse of the small and corporate press of oil-drilling territories – an economical factor; discourse of elite factor – a factor of a social originality. The texts of minority discourses are especially challenging for the analysis of the daily speech of the regional society. Research on the daily speech and not main discursive phenomena allows making analysis of a linguistic picture of the world in its unity and a variety more polyphonic and deep. Relevance of the research on regional discursive practice is also defined by the identification of the regional participation modes for the various sociocultural formations. This causes the distinctness of the region, in comparison with other territories. The study of texts of certain discursive environments as forms of self-presentation of the regional society variants, cognitive and communicative mechanisms for formation of the regional, and more widely sociocultural, self-identification represents an actual problem of a modern linguoculturology and regional linguistics.

| 29 | The paper examines means of expression of the inchoative in Russian Sign Language. It has been shown that the inchoative can be marked both morphologically and lexically. The choice of inchoative marker is determined by verb’s aspectual class and singleness/iteration of event. The beginning of single event can be expressed by the sign STAND (for statives) and by the sign BEGIN (for activities or accomplishments). The beginning of iterative event can be marked by the sign BEGIN or by the context (structure ‘before it was X, now it is Y’). The most regular markers of the inchoative are verbs BEGIN, BEGIN1, STAND. The verb BEGIN is labile phase verb, in other words it can convey meanings ‘to perform the first or earliest part of some action’, ‘to come into action’. The verb STAND develops the meaning ‘become’ under the influence of Russian spoken language; this sign is basically used as inchoative verb. The sign BEGIN1 conveys special type of inchoative meaning: the action is characterized by further development and improvement. Morphological means of expression of the inchoative are suppletive forms and modification of sign. Most of the modifications contain moving hand or fingers up which is the realization of typical conceptual metaphor ‘beginning is up’. Morphological marking inchoative is not very productive in Russian Sign Language: only few signs have suppletive and modified forms. It is pointed out that synthetic forms of the inchoative are used only for marking beginning of the single situation. Marking inchoative in Russian Sign Language is not obligatory since this meaning can be extracted from context. When context is not enough it can be specified by sign now and structure ‘before it was X, now it is Y’. Keywords: Russian sign language, inchoative, phase verbs | 1018 | |||||
| 30 | This article provides and overview of Key morphological traits in Ket and other Yeniseian languages (Kott, Yugh). It first identifies and describes several key features inherited from Proto-Yeniseian (polysynthetic prefixing verb structure, possessive prefixes, phonemic tones). Next it discusses other features that arose or were influence areally by prolonged contact with the surrounding suffixal agglutinating languages (case suffix systems, encliticization of possessive prefixes, repositioning of the finite verb’s semantic head toward the verb word’s leftmost edge). Finally, five morphological features are considered that appear to be anomalous from a typological perspective as they cannot be shown to have been inherited from Proto-Yeniseian in their present functions yet also cannot have arisen through language contact. The features in question are: thematic consonants occupying verb agreement slots, seemingly redundant plural suffixes on verbs, sporadic plural agreement suffixes on adjectives, sporadic pluractional markers on infinitives, and irregular ablaut noun plural formation). Each of these traits is shown to have arisen due to metathesis between originally labial and non-labial segments. In some cases, the metathesis triggered secondary morphological reanalysis, as when original adjectival or infinitival derivational suffixes were reinterpreted as plural or pluractional markers due to homonymy with a common noun plural suffix, or when an original thematic consonant in verbs was reinterpreted as the homonymous inanimateclass agreement marker when it metathesized into that marker’s morpheme position.

| 31 | The verb ‘to give’ belongs to the group of the so-called ditransitive verbs. The verb's behaviour can firstly be investigated based on the argument structure, that is how the recipient and the theme, i.e. the object, are coded by the language. Secondly, this phenomenon can also be studied regarding the form of the verb. This work will focus on this point of view, but the form of the two arguments will also be discussed. There are two verbs with the meaning ’to give’ in the Samoyedic languages. Despite the distinction in meaning there is a strong tendency in the distribution of the two verbs determined by the person of the receiver, which is well reflected in the reconstruction of the verbs. A distribution similar to the one in Nganasan can be detected in the Enets, the Nenets and the Selkup languages. Keywords: Nganasan, Selkup, ditransitive construction | 1011 | |||||
| 32 | The research project deals with the analysis and description of the semantic category of location and motion in the Ket language using the approach advanced in the framework of the Theory of Functional Grammar as advanced by A. V. Bondarko and his research team. The investigation uses a notion of locative construction which includes three basic components: the object being localized (Figure, in L. Talmy’s notation), the reference object, or landmark (Ground) and spatial relations between the former and the latter. The semantic types of locative constructions based on the static and dynamic types of spatial relations, and topological and non-topological characteristics of spatial relations have been distinguished. The analysis of the basic language means of expressing spatial relations in Ket which include lexical items (motion and posture verbs, locative adverbs), grammatical items (case markers, locative postpositions), incorporated, and syntactic means (simple and polypredicative clauses) has been done. The research project examines the locational and directional markers on the components of static and dynamic spatial situations which include case markers, locative postpositions and adverbs differentiating essive, allative, elative and prolative meanings. The idioethnic specificity of marking spatial relations has been shown. The specificity consists in double subject marking of motion verbs, possibility of deriving transitive causative motion verbs from the corresponding intransitive motion verbs by adding one more subject agreement slot containing a subject marker which is co-referent with the subject marker of the original intransitive verb, the availability of incorporated motion verbs, аmong others. The notion of the non-verbal predicate as understood by Kees Hengeveld is proposed to be applied to the Ket material. The principal means of marking non-verbal predicates which involve personal and non-personal predicative suffixes are considered. The classification of the structural types of non-verbal locative predicates has been accomplished. As a result, the personal-predicative and non-personal-predicative predicates have been identified. The former are represented by substantive, substantive-postpositional, pronominal, pronominal-postpositional, adverbial predicates as well as some spatial nouns, and the latter – only by substantive-postpositional predicates.

| 36 | The article deals with the research of a secular and sacral role of river in the linguistic world-view of the Selkup ethnos. The article studies the names of river in the Selkup language dialects and semantic types of hydronyms; analyses space orientation connected with river; describes a mythopoetic image of river in the language and folk tradition of the Selkups. The Selkup language dialects have a large number of water bodies’ names, which contain information on their form, size and location. The structure of hydronyms has the information on form, landscape and size of water bodies, availability of fish, birds and wild animals and connection with religious beliefs. The Selkup language contains adverbs characterizing space orientation regarding the course of a river: up and down (the stream), and adverbs characterizing the direction of movement in water to the coast and direction of movement on the coast to the water. River is the most important spatial reference for the Selkups and one of the focal points in the space. In the Selkup mythology river plays a role of an “axis” of the universe and world-view, which penetrates the upper, middle and lower worlds. Ethnographic and linguistic data prove that the Selkups perceived river as a living being. The role of river is manifest most representatively in the lexical unit qwej ‘river’, which is used to denote any river and completely coincides in form with the word ‘breath’. River is a source of life, spatial reference, universe model and a live being for the Selkup people.

| 37 | This article aims to provide an overview of the proprietive suffix -TAJ in Khalkha Mongolian, and to reveal some aspects of the suffix. Firstly, we survey its characteristics and related expressions, with reference to descriptions provided in the literature. Secondly, it is claimed that the proprietive suffix, which has been classified as a derivational suffix, also shares some characteristics with inflectional suffixes. Thirdly, we explore the relationship between the proprietive and comitative suffixes, one topic that has long been under discussion in Mongolian studies because discrimination between (or the identification of) the two suffixes is not easy due to their identical phonological shape. Fourthly, some semantic characteristics of the derivatives formed by attaching -TAJ are pointed out, focusing in particular on the semantics of the base. Finally, a possible analysis of sentences is presented where derivatives using -TAJ such as xereg-tej “it is necessary that” and jos-toj “ought to” appear in the final position.

The purpose of the article is to identify stylistic features of gender problems in scientific discourse of the Russian Medievalists based on a lingvocultural approach. Comprehensive analysis of the stylistic features of gender patterns (tropes and figures of speech) allows us to get access to the matter of conceptual significance of the substantive elements of the names, and to trace the connection between characteristic of the discussion of gender in medieval studies and general attitudes towards this phenomenon and practices associated with it.

| 40 | The people living along the Vasyugan river believe that the bear is a part of both the fauna and the supernatural sphere, and at the same time only a few bodily features differentiate it from man. The relationship between bear and man can be interpreted as a delicately balanced situation manifested not only in fear in man, but also in the bear. Fear produces legitimate and illegitimate behavioral patterns for man. Illegitimate behavior includes submission to fear, panic regarded as weakness or cowardice. Any behavior that suppresses panic is legitimate: respect for the bear, evasion, necessary caution, keeping the bear away, killing it, and even the jokes about bear adventures, the neglect of fear. Panic subordinates man to the hierarchy between bear and man, while the socially accepted patterns of action sustain or even reverse it. Not only man is afraid of the bear, the bear is also afraid of man, and not only man but also the bear thinks in terms of hierarchy. The hierarchy is also tested or assessed by the bear in an encounter with man, and it is also in the bear’s interest to maintain this hierarchy. The violation or neglect of the balance by the bear is also unacceptable behavior, and therefore both roving bears and man-eater bears are condemned and it is man’s duty to kill them; their carcasses are also treated differently from the rest of the bears: their flesh is never consumed. The balance between bear and man is the sign and precondition for social order: the bear as man’s supersociety punishes man for his sins, and man is enabled to kill the bear by some of the latter’s faults.

The data about Ukrainian and Belarusian diasporas in the city of Tomsk is given at the websites of regional non-profit organization “Center of Ukrainian Culture ‘Jerelo’” and regional non-profit organization “National Cultural Autonomy of Belarusians in Tomsk Region”. All the organizations can be found at the website of the Palace of Arts and Crafts “Avangard”. Most complete information on the Internet can be found about the activity of Polish organizations. The given internet resources present the basis for demonstration, reproduction and building of ethnocultural identity of the mentioned diasporas. The images of traditional folklife culture contributing to actualization of the image of ethnical “friend” play an important role in the structure of ethnical representation. Linguistic means (greetings in native language, nominatives, etc.), visual images (traditional ethnic costumes, household items, dishes of traditional cuisine, symbolic of national holidays and celebrations) are used as markers and ethnocultural symbols. Great significance is given to preservation and modeling of historical memory, appeal to the general historical past and historical motherland is realized. Large attention is paid to active involvement of diasporas members into cultural events of organizations (advertizing language courses of mother tongue, music and theatre festivals, traditional holidays, etc.). Identity of Poles, Ukrainians and Belarusians of Tomsk as presented on the Internet is formed selectively and it largely depends on the nature of organization activity, professional orientation and interests of their leaders.

| 44 | The system of cultural codes of human communities and the mechanisms of self-determination of the individual human beings in them has long been problematic. This is a everyday life problem for a person. This is also a problem for the researcher, whose interests lie in the existential properties of human nature. The essence of this problem can be summarized as a permanent interaction of three antagonistic processes. The first – the formation of cultural skills from early childhood, which are fixed at the level of reflections. The second – the formation of cultural skills for the communication in other cultural environments. And the third – the aspiration to preserve own unique “Ego” with respect to any culture. The paper investigates the possibility of capturing in archaeological material of not only the information about the large societies (archaeological cultures or cultural-historical communities), but also the information about individuals, albeit nameless ones. The hard canons of traditions suppress individuality, but can in an unexpected way highlight it. It may occur in an attempt of self-identification of a man, who found himself in another cultural environment, through proprietary codes. For example, an unusual object in the grave is a sign of personal history. Or if the subject is from another culture, the burial complex with quite ordinary objects may represent the sign of intravital psychological and cultural duality of the buried. The buried who as such has not been released from the memories of the culture lost. Hypothetical constructs in the paper are based on the facts of inclusions from other cultures in the funeral complex of Alakul repository Mitan in Central Kazakhstan.

| 46 | A possessive noun phrase in Nganasan is composed of a possessor and a possessed. In adnominal possession constructions, the possessor always precedes the possessed. The relationship between the modifier (the possessor) and the head (the possessed noun) is encoded by possessive suffixes on the head and/or a Genitive case suffix appearing on the possessor. The structure is head final, i. e. the possessor precedes the possessed. The possessor is a noun or a pronoun. It is characteristic for possession expressed through a predicative construction that the sentence obligatorily includes a verbal predicate. This group can be further divided into sub-groups. In Nganasan appear the so-called transitive constructions (have-possessive), and a construction that is essentially based on an existential construction. Keywords: Nganasan, possessive | 942 | |||||

Semantics of the word уйат joins a shade of the concept “conscience”, however at realization it is represented difficult to part these two values.

The modern ethnic linguistics (with a cognitive bias) is characterized by complexity of definition of basic concepts: “the lexical field”, “semantic structure”, “world picture”, “categorization of concepts of language”, “cognitive semantics”, “concepts”, “frames”, many others. Article is devoted to justification of division of group of the words connected with the nomination of the person on three subgroups: the words calling (χǎnti ‘the person; the Khanty’, χö ‘man’, nε ‘woman’ and others), characterizing (χon ‘king’, vełpas χö ‘hunter’, mis nε ‘milkmaid’, pił ‘fellow traveller’, łöχas ‘friend’, ǎs ‘parent’ and others) and estimating (tuvrεm ‘the hooligan; fidget, mischievous person’, uli-muli ‘silly; silly fellow; forgetful’, χǎrχ-murχ ‘indifferent; unsociable person’, siłka ‘swine; enemy’, χom ‘devil; damned’ and others). The analysis of the dictionary structure correlated to the person (or with image of the person), allows to reveal already at the first stage three main functional and semantic subgroups, and during the further research it is possible to define also possibilities of semantic transition between them (it is possible to find out, in particular, as the words calling and characterizing can be used as estimating).
