Functional-semantic Field of Modifying Words in the Yeniseian Languages // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2005. Issue 4 (48). P. 99-103

The big, open class of modifying words is described with the help of the functional-semantic fields concept. The functional-semantic field of modifying words in the Yeniseian languages is represented as a complicated structure with the nucleus surrounded with near and far periphery. Semantic groups (temporatives, locatives, qualitatives) are allocated on the field depending on their functional and morphological characteristics (function of attribute and morphological stability).

Semantic Classification of Modifying Words in the Yeniseian Laguages. // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2006. Issue 4 (55). P. 167-171

In the Yeniseian languages modifying words are distinguished as a single class, in which items display similar functional (they attribute nouns and verbs) and have the same morphological characteristics (they are non-inflected in the attributive function and inflected in the predicative function). The class of modifying words is represented by three big semantic groups: temporal, local and qualitative modifiers. The article will provide a classification of qualitative modifiers in the Yeniseian languages: Ket, Jugh and Kott.

SUBSTANTIVIZATION IN THE YENISSEIC LANGUAGES // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2010. Issue 7 (97). P. 114-119

Verbs, modifying words (in terms of traditional grammar – adjectives/adverbs), pronouns, nominal groups are subjected to substantivization in the Yenisseic languages (Ket, Yugh, Kott). Substantivized forms are marked with a special suffix, nominalizer, having formal similarity in all the three languages under study.

Keywords: Yenisseic language family; syntactic, word-formativ, “repeated” substantivization; isolated attributive constructions with substantivized forms

The inventory for expression of spatial and temporal relations in the Ket language, their frequensy of use are covered by this article. Also, there is a comparative analysys performed on the basis of data from the texts written down in the mid 20 and first decade of the 21st century.

COMMUNICATIVE SENTENCE STRUCTURE IN KET: COMPARATIVE ASPECT (KET TEXTS OF 20TH AND 21ST CENTURIES) // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2012. Issue 1 (116). P. 56-59

In Yeniseic linguistics, there is a lack of research approaching the Ket syntax from functional and communicative perspective. Language data collected in the second half of the 20th and early 21st century offers an opportunity not only for the synchronic description of Ket syntax, but also for comparative-historical analysis of the changes underway in the syntactic structure of the Ket sentence.

Keywords: Ket, Selkup, numeral systems, language contact, interaction and mutual influence

TRADITIONAL UPBRINGING OF ABORIGINAL INDIGIGENOUS SIBERIAN PEOPLES: PROBLEMS AND PROSPECT // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2016. Issue 11 (176). P. 116-119

The article is focused on problems and prospects of traditional Ket upbringing based on observations made during linguistic expeditions to the places of compact habitation of Siberian indigenous peoples and analysis of Ket tales and stories, presented in “Annotated folk and daily prose texts in the languages of Ob-Yenissei linguistic area”. Ket folklore can become an inexhaustible source for the education of the younger generation in human terms as well as in terms of preservation of national identity and respect for the unique Ket culture. It is commonly known that language, ethnicity, national identity are closely related to each other. However, under the specific conditions, that found themselves the indigenous peoples of Siberia (the unfavorable at present language situation for the development of minority languages), the attention of ethnopedagogics should be directed at promoting the material and spiritual culture of the peoples of the north within Russia and even the countries of the near and far abroad.

Keywords: minority ethnos, ethnic cultural environment, traditional upbringing, material and intellectual culture, Kets

TYPOLOGYCAL AND AREAL STUDIES OF INDIGENOUS SIBERIAN LANGUAGES IN TOMSK STATE PEDAGOGICAL UNIVERSITY // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2018. Issue 4 (193). P. 75-83

The paper reviews the projects on studies of the Ob-Yenissei language area in Tomsk State Pedagogical University. The problem of the research project “Typology of Simple Sentence in the Languages of the Ob-Yenisei area: Information and Argument Structure” sponsored by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR) has been described in detail: a review of literature on structural and communicative syntax has been made, also the degree of the project topic study in the languages under investigation has been analyzed. The languages of the project do not give a detailed description of the subject-matter. The Praat linguistic program, which allows to divide the sound stream, will be used to the results of the study. The result is to form an understanding of the typological picture of the Ob-Yenisei language area with respect to the word order and communicative structure of the sentence. The article is finished with a brief review of prospective directions of the researches which are to be fulfilled on the materials of underdescribed and highly endangered languages. The indigenous population of Siberia has faced difficulties in describing the language picture of the world on the material and spiritual culture of ethnic minorities. The Ob-Yenisei language area has not been described on individual grammatical categories in the functional and typological perspective, and the problem with the lexical typology, and syntax, does not contain an investigation in the areal aspect. Thus, it is necessary to elaborate studies on small languages

SENTENCE STRUCTURE IN A FOLKLORE TEXT (ON THE MATERIAL OF SELKUP FOUR-LINE RACY FOLK RHYMES) // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2020. Issue 2 (208). P. 111-116

Introduction. The syntax of the Selkup language has long remained a “white spot” on the linguistic map of the Samoyed linguistics. Phonology, morphology and vocabulary of Selkup dialects have repeatedly been the subject of scientific researches by representatives of various scientific linguistic schools. Much fewer scientific works are devoted to research of the syntactic features of the Selkup language, and most of this small number are based on material from the Northern dialects, while the Central and Southern dialects of the Selkup language have long remained out of the view of linguists. These factors make the study relevant. Material and methods. The material of the study are 30 four-line racy folk rhymes in the Narym dialect of the Selkup language. The main methods of the research are popular scientific (analysis, synthesis, generalization) and specific scientific (linguistic) methods: comparative, descriptive, method of immediate constituent analysis. Results and discussions. A brief overview of the syntax studies of different dialects of the Selkup language is presented, structural analysis of the texts of the four-line racy folk rhymes of the Narym Selkups is carried out, word order is analyzed, repetition as one of the main folklore techniques is considered. In terms of structure, 60.9 % of the sentences analyzed are two-part sentences, 39.1 % are one-part sentences. The most frequent word order in two-part sentences is SVO (16.66 %), in the second place is SOV (7 %), in the third - OSV (4.7 %); there are very few sentences with word order OVS (2.38 %). The most frequent repetitions revealed in the study are concentrating repetitions. Conclusion. A four-line racy folk rhyme as a special folklore genre borrowed from the Russians became widespread among the Narym Selkups. This genre is expected to have rhyme and influences the structural and syntactic organization of the sentence. Repetitions serve the function of structural organization of the text of a fourline racy folk rhyme, highlighting the most significant content components, and are less involved in its syntactic organization.
