Antonyms are adjectives in the Even language

Sadovnikova Iya Ivanovna

The article is devoted to the antonyms of adjectives in the Even language, the study of which is directly related to the description of the meaning and meaning of linguistic units. Antonymic pairs and their features in the Even language are considered and identified. The relevance of the research is determined by the lack of special scientific papers devoted to the study of antonyms of adjectives in the Even language. In the works of evenologists, the topic of antonymy is revealed either superficially, in a number of textbooks or fragmentally in scientific articles. Antonyms in the Even language have not yet acquired the appropriate scientific coverage. 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. The sources of lexical material were dictionaries of the Even language, including extracts from works of art, ethnographic essays and materials of scientific expeditions of the author. This article is a continuation of our publications on Even antonyms.
