Kumaeva Maria Vladimirovna

The article is devoted to the study of the paired words of the Mansi language in the folklore texts. The relevance of the study is due to the lack of works in Mansi philology in this theme. Theoretical and practical significance of the work lies in the possibility of applying its results in compiling dictionaries of various types, in preparing a course of lectures on the Mansi language and folklore, in the practice of university and school teaching. The obtained results can be used in the preparation of dictionary entries in lexicographic publications, the compilation of textbooks on courses in lexicology and grammar of the modern Mansi language.
