Units of lexicographic description in the dictionary of the olonkho language
The relevance of a special, extended and in-depth study of the language of oral-poetic creativity of any people is determined by the value represented by the quality of the language, which in the bosom of folklore acquires a special functional freedom and thus, in some cases, builds absolutely interesting linguistic laws within the framework of folk poetry. The purpose of this article is to identify, isolate, define and substantiate the units of the lexicographic description in the dictionary of the language of the Yakut heroic epic olonkho, the development of which is currently at the stage of theoretical design. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were solved: 1) from the noted point of view, the entire corpus of the text Nyurgun Botur the Swift by K. G. Orosin (1947) was amalysed. Is some cases, if it was necessary for the analysis, the text of the olonkho The Obstinate Kulun Kullustuur by I. G. Timofeev-Teploukhov and Nyurgun Botur the Swift by P. A. Oyunsky were also used; 2) based on the theoretical provisions expressed in the works of leading Russian linguistic folklorists, as well as folklore lexicographers, 4 types of units of lexicographic description were substantiated, suitable for the dictionary display of the originality of the language and style of the Yakut olonkho. Methods of classification, context analysis, induction, modeling, and, in part, introspective were used. As a result of the analysis, the following conclusions were formulated: 1) the originality of the language and style of the Yakut epic presupposes the identification of other units of lexicographic description than those presented in the dictionaries of the language of Russian folklore, as well as in the dictionary of the language of the Kalmyk epic Jangar ; 2) in the dictionary of the olonkho language, 4 types of units of lexicographic description were found: a) formulas and formula structures; b) syncretic constructions; c) single lexemes; d) epic periods; 3) the initial results of the study revealed one significant issue that requires further solution - the problem of reducing the specified units of lexicographic description into the form of a dictionary vocable. Further research should be carried out in the indicated direction. Based on this, it is planned to consider in more detail the nature of epic formulas, periods, as well as syncretic constructions, which, in our opinion, are a transitional form between a successful expression of a complete thought in a folk epic and a finally formed epic formula.
