Derivational structure of disease names in the Khanty language

Abstract

Structural word-formation models of the vocabulary of diseases are considered on the material of Synskii and Vakhovskii dialects of the Khanty language. The relevance of the study is determined by the need for a systematic study of the vocabulary of the Khanty language. The vocabulary associated with the names of diseases has not been the subject of sufficient study to date, and therefore has a great research interest. The material of the study covers the words related to the lexicon of the disease in the dialects of the Khanty language. We used component analysis and descriptive method. The word-formation structure of the names of diseases is not uniform. Words are divided into groups: external diseases; internal illnesses; physical disabilities; accidents, injuries. The main ways of forming these tokens are composition and suffixing. The most common models are “noun + noun”, “adjective + noun”. The lexico-semantic method of education for the nomination of diseases is non-productive. We have fixed multicomponent names in the Vakhovskii dialects in a smaller volume due to no corpus of texts.
