Despite active research, there are many issues to be clarified. Our attention is focused on the syntax of the Khakass language. Previous investigations were devoted to asyndetic compound sentences, concessive and causal constructions in the Khakass language in comparison with the Russian language. Still, given that only a small section of the scientific grammar of the Khakass language covers the topic under discussion, such studies are of great relevance. The current study deals with complex sentences in the Khakas language, namely the bipredicative constructions of place that have not received proper coverage yet. The purpose was to identify and describe the structures concerned. The research revealed that Khakass bipredicative constructions of place are represented by two structural types. The first category includes the constructions in which the relationship between the dependent predicative unit and the main predicative unit is usually realized analytically by means of pronominal adverbs and correlative words, namely deictic locative adverbs. The second type involves determinative constructions, which are dependent predicative units in bipredicative constructions of place. The main predicative unit is connected with the dependent predicative unit by the words in spatial cases (dative, locative, directive, and ablative), and in the dependent predicative unit, they are represented by pronominal adverbs. Furthermore, the dependent predicative unit completely identifies the main predicative unit in space.","PeriodicalId":112261,"journal":{"name":"Languages and Folklore of Indigenous Peoples of Siberia","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133310012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The historiography of the study of Bashkir vocalism is briefly presented. The first classifications of M. M. Bilyalov (1928) and N. K. Dmitriev (1948). Traditionally, in the modern Bashkir literary language, there are nine primordial vowel phonemes: [a], [o], [y], [i], [e], [ә], [ө], [ү], [y]. In addition to the primordial vowel phonemes, borrowed vowels [o], [e], [s] in such words as shop, antenna, factory, motor, music, rear, etc. function in the Bashkir language. The main content of the article is devoted to historical processes that occurred in the phonetic system of the Bashkir language. In the process of evolution, the system of vowels of the Bashkir language has undergone a transformation from the pre-Turkic period - the expansion of narrow and narrowing wide: * i> e, * e> a d, * o> u, * u> o, * ö> ү, * ü> ө. Scientists have various theories on this issue. The transformations affected not all vowels of the Bashkir language, for example, the vowels “a” and “s” practically did not change: * a> a, ә, * ï> s. The phoneme [ә] has various paths of origin. The article also describes the main allophones of the phoneme [a]: labialized and pharyngalized variants. It should be noted that in the dialects of the Bashkir language different degrees of bluntness “a” are realized: from moderate labialization to full transition to “o”. Regarding the origin of the labialized a°, scientists express various hypotheses: some consider it the heritage of the Bulgarian language, others consider the Finno-Ugric (Mari). In our opinion, one thing is clear that the Bashkirs “acquired” labialization in the Urals. The phonetic phenomena of the modern Bashkir language associated with the system of vowels: synharmonism, reduction, prosthesis, epenthesis, elision are presented in theses.","PeriodicalId":112261,"journal":{"name":"Languages and Folklore of Indigenous Peoples of Siberia","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121140282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The primary tasks of this study are to decipher, analyze, systematize and publish archival materials, identify and confirm the places of residence of the descendants of migrants from Belarus, and carry out expeditionary activities. The article gives a brief historiographical overview of the declared topic (historical and folklore-ethnographic studies are covered). Also, an overview genre description of the Belarusian settlers' folklore recorded on the territory of the Omsk Irtysh region is provided. Consideration is given to the actual research direction in the fieldwork of folklorists, as well as prospects in studying the indicated topics. A comprehensive study of the folk culture of the Belarusian settlers of the Omsk Irtysh region is regarded as the most effective in terms of the information content of archival material. The most significant issues today are the actualization and representativeness of archival expeditionary materials. The author of the article suggests a number of areas of activity concerning the Omsk recordings of the Belarusian settlers' folklore: research, publishing, educational, concert, and creative activities.

Despite covering the most characteristic thematic plots and motives of the non-fairytale prose of Buryats, the text lacks mythological works and stories with a mythological basis. This lacuna can be somewhat filled by expeditionary records made in Inner Mongolia region of China from the ethno-territorial group of Buryats living in the Shenehen area. Thus, it is proposed to include the mythological stories about how the first people appeared, why the constellation of Ursa Major is called the Seven Elders, why Buryuats began to read the lamb scapula. Noteworthy are the records featuring a supreme deity of heavenly origin as the main character, the initiator of ordering the sequence of changing years and creating a twelve-year calendar cycle, each year corresponding to one of the animals. Al-so, it is worth including the “explanatory” stories, recorded among the Buryats of Inner Mongolia, based on the people’s ancient knowledge of the ethnological peculiarities of Buryat life. Thus, the forthcoming volume will include authentic textual sources based on ancient mythological views of people about the existing universe and world order, shamans and lamas having magic powers, foresight, and other non-standard superpowers, also based on explaining the specificity of ethnic elements of Buryat culture and everyday life.","PeriodicalId":112261,"journal":{"name":"Languages and Folklore of Indigenous Peoples of Siberia","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128725342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The bearers of the tradition have a certain “baggage” or a set of elements specific for a particular genre (poetic, content) in order to “form” a text from these elements when reproducing it. \"Forming\" a fairy tale, Kozhemyakina takes out any element, image, plot episode, etc. from her fairy-tale \"baggage\". It includes not only fairy-tale, but also epic episodes, formulas, elements, as well as images, plot conflicts from adventure stories or novels. Fairy-tale contaminations are also peculiar. They are as well due to the specifics of the oral existence of fairy tales.

Jakobson in his famous work “Shifters, Verbal Categories and the Russian Verb.” When studying the linguistic-typological classification of verbal categories and their organization in the scientific paradigm of the general linguistic theory of speech activity, the scholar distinguished a separate grammatical category of evidentiality. Its special function in a speech communicative act was identified as “indicating the source of information about the reported fact”, with illustrations of the morphological expression of different variants of the speaker’s evidence of the reported event provided. Jakobson examined the data of the two South Slavic languages, Bulgarian and Macedonian, and also the published descriptions of the indigenous languages of North America. However, of concern is his identification of the “indicated source of information about the reported fact” with the “transmitted fact of the message”, suggesting the morphologically expressed indication of some source of information to indicate the preceding speech communicative act, a previously received message. Jakobson refers to the source of information as “a message from some other person.” However, no explanation is provided regarding the basis and logic of attributing all “sources of information about a reported fact” to a “citation” source. This paper argues the Jakobson’s concept to serve as a theoretical basis for modern studies of the grammatical category of evidentiality. The significance of the verbal category of evidentiality is traced by describing the evidential verbal forms in the Selkup language.","PeriodicalId":112261,"journal":{"name":"Languages and Folklore of Indigenous Peoples of Siberia","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117019398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The necessity of characterizing the death phenomenon – the structure of death signs, their sources, their occurrence in texts – is substantiated, and a brief analysis of the scholarly literature on the subject in question is provided. Death is commonly addressed in folklore, except in children’s fairy tales, where death is portrayed more discreetly. The death signs are described within the classification of the American pecialist in semiotics, C. S. Pierce, also considering the experience of D. A. Pisarenko, who systematized the death signs in the Russian folk tales. Folklore texts feature the death theme when the protagonist encounters hostile spirits, fights enemies, or meets dead people. This theme has its specific place in various folklore genres, with its signs classified by certain plot types. Found in the texts are indirect signs of death not referring directly to death, but only hinting at it. The analysis of four bailichkas reveals the deeds of aggressive deceased persons representing the death signs together with the coffin, bones, a deserted camp, and cut hair. Four types of mixed death signs have been found: (1) “index + icon” signs associated with personal knowledge about biological death and reflecting the external death signs; (2) “index + symbol” signs associated with death through funeral rites; (3) “symbol + index” signs represented by one sign – “lower world” – reflecting the religious views of a person, (4) “symbol + index + icon” signs, most ancient and semantically ambiguous signs.","PeriodicalId":112261,"journal":{"name":"Languages and Folklore of Indigenous Peoples of Siberia","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124547877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is worth studying Mongolian borrowed anthroponyms in the Tuvan translation of the Buddhist work “Üleger-Dalay” – the sutra “Sea of Proverbs,” the only Tuvan Buddhist source not influenced by the Russian-speaking Buddhist literature actively published and translated into Tuvan since the 1990s. The specificity of the Mongolian anthroponyms analyzed is that their nominative function simultaneously characterizes the referent and reflects its essence. They are divided into six thematic groups: names-epithets of Buddha, names associated with Buddhist practices, names indicating the inner qualities of a person, names of celestials, names associated with natural objects, names with somatismatic components indicating the appearance or associated with the circumstances of the referent’s birth. They are divided into three structural types: 1-component, 2-component (most of them), and 3-component. All borrowed Mongolian names have mostly been adapted to the phonetic norms of the Tuvinian language. The main ways of phonetic transformation are assimilation, formation of long vowels, replacement of some sounds and sound combinations with other sounds, simplification of vowels.","PeriodicalId":112261,"journal":{"name":"Languages and Folklore of Indigenous Peoples of Siberia","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134090714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
