Abstract:

The article considers the participial forms of the verb in the Lamukhinskiy dialect of the Even language. The Lamu-khinskiy dialect is understandable to most speakers of the Western dialect of the Even language spoken in Yakutia. The Lamukhinskiy dialect is prevalent in the territory of the Kobyai district of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) within the villages of Sebyan-Kyuel and Segyan-Kyuel. This idiome is currently among the most prosperous Even dialects with a higher vitality in terms of functioning parameters and social indicators: about 800 people regularly communicate in it, with intergenerational transmission preserved in the area of the language community. A detailed examination of the most commonly used verbal forms, i.e., the participles in the Lamukhinskiy dialect, is necessary to complete the data on specific issues of morphology and syntax in Tunguso-Manchu linguistics. In contrast to other Eastern and Western dialects, the composition of participial forms in the dialect under consideration is much broader. This study has identified for the first time the use of previously unidentified participles of the following actions: obligatory, passive, and possible with obligatory meaning. The analysis of morphological criteria and semantic content identified the perfect participle and the participle of convenience for performing an action. The article presents the author’s version of the classification of the Even dialects, including the Lamukhinskiy dialect. The study was performed based on the field materials collected by the author.

Keywords: Even language, Lamukhinskiy dialect, verb, participle
