THE СONCEPTUAL SPHERE OF MONGOL ETHNONIMS IN THE ASPECT OF ETHNO LINGUISTICS
The article is devoted to the questions of etymology of some ancient Mongol tribal names. By the complex investigation of the semantic complements of the mongol and buryat ethnonyms the conceptual picture of the nomadic world is revealed. In fact the conceptuality is transferred by the lexical items of samoyedish languages (for instance, selkup language), which is in conformity with samoyedish substrate in the system of geographical proper names of Transbaikalye.
