Introduction: the article is devoted to identification of specifics of language processes in nomination of the sign «sound» in the Khanty language on the material of Western dialects. Objective: to consider the semantics of adjectives of sound in the Khanty language (word-formation models, lexical-semantic groups, compatibility, and intensification). Research materials: the card index consisting of the examples from bilingual dictionaries of the Khanty language, folklore collections, and samples of speech of informants. Results and novelty of the research: the result of the research is description of semantics of the language units making a basis of process of characteristic of a sound that allows receiving estimates of sound feelings in human consciousness. In all studied dialects of the Khanty language word formation of adjectives of sound occurs according to six models: 1) «N + =әŋ» model, 2) «N + = ԓy» model, 3) «V + = әŋ/=эŋ/=аŋ» model, 4) «N + =ԓy-N + =ԓy» model, 5) «N + =и-N + =y» model, 6) «V + =әŋ-V + =әŋ» model. These adjectives form seven lexical-semantic groups and include various sounds made by people, animals, nature, mechanical sounds, etc. The scientific novelty of the research consists in systematization of this lexical-semantic group, consideration of ways of word formation, specification of the lexical units characterizing a sound.

Introduction: the article is devoted to the lexical and grammatical features of the verbal vocabulary functioning in the songs of Bears Games, based on the material of the book «The Songs of the Kazym River in The Collection of the Okrug House of Folk Art». The book presents field material recorded by employees of the Okrug House of Folk Art in 1988–1992s in the Yuilsk settlement of Beloyarsky District and in the Kyshik settlement of Khanty-Mansiysky District. In the course of the study, the archaic vocabulary, existing in this sphere, and word-formation means, attached to the root of the verb and modifying its meaning, are revealed. Objective: to identify the archaic verbal vocabulary presented in the texts of Bear’s songs; to give the most complete lexicographic description; to consider the word-formation system of verbal units. Research materials: the collection «Songs of the Kazym River in The Collection of the Okrug House of Folk Art» (2019), bilingual dictionaries on the Khanty language. Results and novelty of the research: in the paper, for the first time the verbal vocabulary of the texts of Bear’s songs is analyzed; archaic lexemes that are not represented in modern dictionaries of the Kazym dialect, but find separate parallels in the eastern and southern dialects, are identified; 18 verbal word-formation morphemes are identified, among them suffixes that are not represented in modern grammars. The most commonly used suffixes are the multiplicity and duration suffixes =iλә=, =ijәλ=/=ĭjәλ=, =әt’λ’ә= / =λ’ә=.

The study identifies features of potential modifications and lacuna-forming modifiers involved in word-formation synthesis in the process of generating new verbs. The scientific novelty of this study is in the differentiated representation of lexical-semantic and morphological means (verbal modifiers) that are capable, on the one hand, of synthesizing a desired meaning (verbal modification) and, on the other hand, of producing lexical gaps (lacunae). As a result of analyzing the specific modifiers and modifications with respect to the lexical-semantic group of verbs of sound, the new products of synthesis (potential modifications) have been identified. The conditions for the appearance of lacunae and the role of the lacunae-forming modifiers are demonstrated. Through a special project at the Missouri S&T (USA) using the data from the Russian National Corpus, for the first time in lexicographic practice, novel modifications, previously considered non-existent, are introduced.

Introduction. The article studies the semantics of Erzia and Finnish verbs of auditory perception. It considers the meanings of some of the most vividly expressing polysemy of audio verbs and verb constructions. The problem associated with the study of the semantics of the verbs of auditory perception is very relevant. The absence of special works on the topic of the research, as well as its insufficient research in comparative terms, adversely affects the development of lexicology and word formation of Finno-Ugric languages. Materials and methods. The authors employed verbal units that have common semantics of auditory perception in modern Erzia and Finnish languages. They are isolated from the explanatory dictionaries of these languages and examined using descriptive, component and comparative methods. Results and discussion. Given the affinity of the Erzia and Finnish languages, this article classifies the lexical-semantic group on the basis of a semantic characteristics to identify nuclear lexemes in the composition of the verb group, as well as to describe peripheral units. In the course of the analysis it was possible to establish that as a result of polysemy, the verbs and verb constructions of auditory perception in the Erzia and Finnish languages can be a part of several synonymous series. Conclusion. Taking into account the semantic characteristics of verbs and verbal constructions of auditory perception, systematization made it possible to determine a number of nuclear auditory units based on material from distant languages. The study showed that the verbs of auditory perception in the Erzia and Finnish languages have common semantics, and allowed us to identify a number of universal meanings, as well as various semantic nuances in both languages.

This article studies the names of cafes and restaurants in the cities of Tyumen, Seattle, and Toulouse. According to the data of the Department of Consumer Market of the Tyumen Administration and the information site tripadvisor.ru, a card index of the names of public catering establishments in Tyumen (1.5 thousand lexical units), Seattle (3.2 thousand) and Toulouse (2.5 thousand) was compiled. Actualization groups were identified, they include proper name, geographical subjects, flora and fauna, gastronomic names, art and culture, buildings and structures, household items, phraseological units and stable phrases, occupation and titles, colors, and numbers. The morphological and lexical-semantic methods of word formation of the names of public catering establishments are investigated. Cases of the transition of an anthroponym, toponym, and common noun to ergonym are revealed. The names of cafes and restaurants in Tyumen represent a significant number of one-component structures (Prokofiev, China, and Assorti among others). On the contrary — syntactic constructions dominate the names of cafes and restaurants in Seattle and Toulouse (Seattle — Stanford’s Restaurant and Bar; Toulouse — Le Petit Magre). Six types of graphic hybrid names of cafes and restaurants are distinguished, which are represented in different proportions in each city — fusion, apostrophization, combinations of letters and numbers, combinations of letters and symbols, combinations of lowercase and uppercase letters, and names with a foreign component.

The article clarifies the meaning and features of word-formation development of new words and terms to denote the cultural and artistic field, which appeared in the modern Ukrainian literary language at the beginning of the XXI century and due to linguistic and extralinguistic factors are widely used. The object of research are words and terms of the cultural and artistic sphere, as they are best able to nominate concepts in special vocabulary, to reflect the diversity of the semantic spectrum of the conceptual sphere of «culture and art». The subject of research is lexical-semantic, structural-word-forming and spelling features of words and terms of cultural and artistic sphere in the Ukrainian language. Scientific novelty of the research. The classification of neolexes by semantic criterion is offered. The place of innovations in the lexical structure of the Ukrainian language is determined, the main stages of adaptation and structural and semantic features of words and terms to denote the cultural and artistic branch are characterized; the factors of creation of neolexes and their inclusion in the lexical-semantic system of the Ukrainian language, which supplement the corresponding lexical-semantic group with new tokens, are clarified; factors of word-forming activity of neolexes are revealed; It is proved that one of the reasons for the problem of qualification and spelling of neolexes with creative bases-Englishisms is the lack of mastery of innovations by the grammatical system of the Ukrainian language. The existing achievements of linguists in the field of studying innovative derivatives are analyzed, it is stated that the issue of the dynamics of the language system is always at the center of current linguistic research. Innovative words and terms of the cultural and artistic sphere of the beginning of the XXI century in the language of mass media, Internet forums and in dictionaries of neologisms of the modern Ukrainian language are revealed, globalization tendencies in their use are testified. The main thematic groups of neolexes for the designation of the cultural and artistic sphere are singled out, structural and semantic innovations and productivity of their use are determined. It is proved that one of the reasons for the problem of qualification and spelling of neolexes with creative bases-Englishisms is the lack of mastery of innovations by the grammatical system of the Ukrainian language.
