CYCLIC TEMPORAL MODEL IN THE EVENK LINGUISTIC CONCEPTIONS
The article describes the Evenk conceptions of cyclic time. The analysis of linguistic material indicated that a cyclic temporal model is interpreted through the periodicity of natural cycles, day and night change. It is shown that annual and daily cycles of the model are nationally specific. The research findings allowed the author to conclude that the Evenk conceptions of a cyclic temporal model are based not only on universal perception but also on national-cultural.
