Ethnolinguistic analysis of the hyperonim "clothes" (on the material of epos "Dzhangar")

The Kalmyk heroic epos “Dzhangar” is a complex polistadial epic piece. Understanding of the epic text, practical mastery of it is determined to a large extent by knowledge of the features of its lexical composition. The article on the material of the epos “Dzhangar” considers lexical units denoting the hyperonym ‘ clothing ’in the Kalmyk language, reflecting the natural correlations between ethnic and linguistic processes. In the texts of the epic, the use of the lexeme huvtsn and the binomial huvtsn-hunr is recorded. So, in the text from the Eeylan Ovl repertoire, the use of the dialectic form of the vocabulary of havtsn is revealed instead of the literary norm of huvtsn . The hovz-hunr lexeme reflects the dialectal features of the Torgut dialect and the Buzavian hobz-honr . The analysis shows that the conservation of archaic lexical elements of the language occurs in different dialects in different ways, primarily in phonetic links.
