PECULIARITIES OF TOPONYMS FUNCTIONING IN SELKUP FOLKLORE AND EVERYDAY LIFE STORIES
The article is devoted to revealing the peculiarities of toponyms functioning in Selkup folklore and everyday life stories. The paper investigates different types of folklore texts, e. g. heroic folk tales, fairy tales, tales about sacred places. Every fairy tale is a complex folklore work that contains all plot constituent parts, characters with their speech peculiarities, philosophic or instructive conclusions. Many aspects of fairy tales discourse are not thoroughly investigated and need detailed linguistic study. The analysis of toponyms and its kinds (hydronyms, oronyms, oikonyms) involved in plot building of folklore stories is given. The special attention is paid to the stylistic device metamorphosis which is a characteristic feature of Selkup fairy tale discourse. Analyzing folk and mythological plots the author determines ways, reasons, character and motivation of metamorphoses that happened with people or objects involved in the narration.
Keywords: the Selkup language, Selkup ethnos, folklore, folklore genres, everyday life stories, toponyms, hydronyms, stylistic device, metamorphosis, national-cultural background, worldview
