Yakut collateral constructions: to the problem of polysemy

Abstract
The article presents the result of the semantic analysis of polysemous collateral constructions in the Yakut (Sakha) language. The method of analysis takes into account possible lexical-semantic affiliation of the verbal predicate of the construction and the nature of the actants present in the situation. The cases of semantic correlation in the Yakut (Sakha) language along the line of causative-passive, passive-reflexive, reflexive-passive, reciprocative-iterative are considered. These types of polysemy may be found not only in the Yakut and other Turkic languages, but also in the languages of other typological groups.

Keywords: Yakut (Sakha) language, functional semantics, collateral form, polysemy, verbal
predicate.
