Three Crucial Crises in the Development of the Khanty and Mansi Unique Culture

This paper deals with crucial crises in the development of the unique culture of the Khanty and Mansi. The peoples, who had resided the territory of Western Siberia long before Russian settlements were established, were the Tatar, Chulym Turkic, Khakass, Shor, Teleut, Selkup, Nganasan, Enets, Nenets, Kamasin, Ket, Yugh, Kott, Assan, Khanty and Mansi. They had gained valuable and enormous experience of the climate, nature, wild and animal life of their environment. They had a very complex religious system that was closely connected both with the nature and with their life activities. All this – the unique valuable knowledge gained for thousands of years - has been degrading and degenerating. It is being researched due to major reasons of degradation and extinction of unique cultures of the Siberian indigenous peoples. They include: a) collection of the “yasak” and attempts of forced Christianization of indigenous peoples during the Russian Empire times; b) compulsory boarding education in the Soviet times; c) intensive oil and gas exploration in the 20th century

Посессивные конструкции в обдорском диалекте хантыйского языка

The paper presents an analysis of the structural types of possessive constructions in the Obdorsk dialect of Khanty. It is shown that in this dialect the concept of possession is encoded by means of adnominal and predicative possessive constructions of differing structural types. Adnominal possessive constructions can be built according to five structural models with an explicit or implicit possessor, in four of which the head is marked with a possessive suffix. Predicative possessive constructions can be built with the verbs ’have’, ’be’, ’not to be’ and ’remain’. The canonical possessive construction is transitive, with both the possessor and possessed uncoded. Predicative esse-constructions are less frequent and may incorporate a marked possessed. В статье рассматриваются все возможные способы выражения посессивных отношений в обдорском диалекте хантыйского языка. Анализ основывается на корпусе текстов, записанных в 1990 г. в поселке Катравож в Приуральском районе Ямало-Ненецкого автономного округа. Проведенный анализ позволяет заключить, что в прототипический инвентарь средств, используемых для кодирования посессивности, входят посессивные маркеры, участвующие в структуре четырех адноминальных посессивных моделей из пяти возможных, и глагол с семантикой обладания в структуре посессивной предикативной конструкции. Предикативные посессивные конструкции с глаголомэксзистенциональности и другими, в которых обладаемое может маркироваться посессивными суффиксами, являются непродуктивными средствами выражения посессивности
