Antonymy of zoonyms in the Even language

Sadovnikova Iya Ivanovna

The relevance of the research consists in the insufficient knowledge of the problem of the antonymy of zoonyms in the Even language, in the underdevelopment of the problem, the study of which is directly related to the description of the meaning and meaning of linguistic units. This approach to solving the problem makes it possible to identify the potencies that the system of antonyms has in the onomastics of the Even language. The creation of a dictionary of antonyms of the Even language seems necessary, but impossible because there is no theoretical basis and significant lexicographic material has not been collected, which also determines the relevance of the research we have undertaken.

Keywords:Even language, antonyms, zoonyms, linguistic units.
