Bykonya Valentina Viktorovna

Information About Author:

In the article the connection of names of Selkup kins with names of mythical ancestors is presented. It is found out that a name of a mythical ancestor becomes a centre of a semantic group of words to the extent of which semantic derivations occur. The connection of a kin with its mythical ancestor is kept; by means of the name of a kin it is given to a representative of a flora or fauna and continues its existence as a totem.

Keywords: the Selkup language, genonymum, mythical ancestor, semantic derivation, tatoo.
