Spatial Postpositions as Expressive Means of the Spatial Relations in the Modern Khakass Language (Compared to the Altai and Shor Languages)
The article identifies various spatial relations realized with spatial postpositions in the modern Khakass language to compare it with other two South Siberian Turkic languages (Altai and Shor). On the basis of the conducted research the author points out the postpositions which being a part of localizers carry out a relational function as well as case affixes do. But unlike case affixes, they don't form a harmonious system of meanings. They share the main relational loading with a case affix at a space name. Thus, the postpositions introduce additional connotations to specify the sense.
