Imperative Interjometies in the Vakhov Dialect of the Khanty Language

This article examines the incentive interjections of the Vakh dialect of the Khanty language, expressing expressions of will addressed to people. The purpose of the work is to establish the lexical composition and place of imperative interjections in the system of units being studied. To achieve the goal, a number of tasks have been determined: to generalize the interjections of the studied group in one of the eastern dialects of the Khanty language, to systematize them on a semantic basis. The material for the study was folklore texts, as well as observations of the oral speech of speakers of the Vakh dialect of the Khanty language. The following methods of linguistic research were used: descriptive (observation, generalization, interpretation, classification), comparative (comparison with other dialects of the language), etc. There are no special works devoted to imperative interjections in the Vakh dialect. The meanings of interjections used in folklore collections were clarified by us during the expedition work, additional examples were given, the semantics of some interjections were clarified, and new variants of interjections were also identified, for example, in the given collection, as in lexicographical sources, the interjections ula, ula tӓ are not highlighted, which are actively used in the speech of speakers. For comparison, examples of one of the eastern dialects of the Khanty language – Surgut – are given.
