Phraseological nomination of age and experience in the Yakut language (comparison with the Turkic languages of South Siberia)

In the following article, the phraseological nomination of childhood, juvenile age, manhood and elderly age, life experience are considered in a comparative aspect with the Turkic languages of Southern Siberia (Altaic, Tuvan, Khakass) for the first time in the Yakut phraseology, with the purpose of establishing common and specific traits of these languages, as well as identifying the sources of origin of the basic lexeme components that make up the Yakut phraseological units. The author also employs language material from Turkish and Kazakh languages, ancient Turkic written monuments to increase the probability of finding both linguistic and extralinguistic general and specific trends. Turkic phraseological units are considered in terms of “Yakut language - ancient Turkic, Turkish, Kazakh, Turkic languages of Southern Siberia”. The comparative-historical method and component analysis made it possible to establish as a whole a national-specific phraseological nomination of age and experience in the Yakut language that do not have parallels in related Turkic languages, which in turn confirms the thesis that the formation of these phraseological units has proceeded in the process its development in conditions of non-contact with the last. At the same time, some common ancient Turkic - Yakut, Yakut - Altai-Khakass, Yakut - Tuvinian - Khakass, Yakut - Tuvan, Yakut - Khakass, Yakut - Kazakh phraseological parallels were revealed, which undoubtedly testify that the phraseological system of Turkic languages has common ancient roots. It has also been established that the reference words-components that make up the Yakut phraseological units that nominate the age and experience of a person are predominantly of Turkic origin, and the presence of a certain number of Mongolisms and parallels in the Tungus-Manchurian languages indicates that these lexemes in the Yakut language have arisen because of mutual contacts and interaction. Prospects for the study are seen in the further development of the theoretical basis and methodology of phraseological comparativistics of Turkic languages.
