NAMES OF TREES AND SHRUBS IN THE KHANTY LANGUAGE

Abstract

The article deals with lexical and semantic groups of names of trees and shrubs in the dialects of the Khanty language. The object of research in this work is the nominations of tree and shrub vegetation in the Khanty language, which provide a rich material for studying the language nomination in synchrony and diachrony, since they belong to the most archaic layers of vocabulary. There are no special works devoted to the study of the Khanty names of trees and shrubs from a linguistic point of view. The purpose of the article is to systematize and describe the meaning of tree flora in the dialects of the Khanty language at the present stage, to identify dialect features. The study uses a set of methods and techniques for analyzing linguistic material: the method of semantic classification, lexical-semantic analysis, word-formation, linguistic-geographical analysis, as well as elements of etymological analysis. The main method for studying plant names is description.
