LEXICAL EXPLICATION OF THE CONCEPT NOMAD IN THE FOLK DISCOURSE OF THE EVENS

Kuzmina Raisa Petrovna

The article is the first to describe the semantics of lexemes included in the nominative field of the concept NOMAD in the language of Even folklore. The key representatives of the concept are identified - nulge-, nud-, өmchi, gulne-, ӈen-. The analysis of the internal form of lexical units that objectify the concept made it possible to establish motivating and conceptual features that lead to the idea of intensive and repeated nomadism in the Even-nomad culture. The research material was etymological and lexicographical dictionaries for different languages, which made it possible to determine the prototype of the concept.
