ANALYSIS OF COMPARISONS DESCRIBING ACTIONS IN THE OLONKHO TEXTS OF THE NORTHEASTERN YAKUT TRADITION

Abstract

. The goal of the article is to identify a complex comparative structure and analyze the structure of comparison describing actions in the olonkho texts of the northeastern Yakut tradition. The scientific novelty of this article lies in the fact that poetic means are studied for the first time in the northeastern epic tradition of the Yakuts. There are very few special works on the study of poetic paths in the texts of the Yakut olonkho. This epic tradition is characterized by simple and complex comparisons. Complicated comparisons are divided into three groups: stepwise, multiplier, and action comparisons. As a result of the research, we were able to prove that complex comparative constructions are used in the olonkho texts of the northeastern Yakut tradition. The structure of comparisons describing actions is found in several simple comparisons, each of which has its own objects, expressed by actions.
