CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF NOMINATION OF A HAND IN THE SELKUP LANGUAGE
The article represents the study on nominations of a hand in the Selkup dialects. The linguistic research reveals the sacred and secular visions of a hand in the Selkup culture. The idea of the former vision was found out during the analysis of derivatives of a dialectal variant of somonim ud. This motive is connected with the belief that a hand can be a cause of illness or even death if not covered. It means that a hand is associated with underworld in Selkups’ mentality. The secular motive was revealed during the study of derivatives of another dialectal variant of somonim od which comprises meaning ‘a hand as a tool of work’.
Keywords: the Selkup language, dialect, somatic vocabulary, somonym, nominations of a hand, hand, arm
