The lexico-semantic group “Residential buildings” in the Shor language against the background of common Turkic vocabulary

In the humanitarian space of modern civilization, much attention is paid to the phenomena of languages and culture of small ethnic groups and the problem of the revitalization of endangered languages. Currently, the linguistic systems of small numbered peoples are being studied and research results are being recorded. The lexical fund of the language most vividly reflects the culture of an ethnic group. A promising area of vocabulary research is the thematic presentation of lexicon units. Words denoting residential buildings form an important part of the vocabulary of the language, they are the keepers of information about the development of an ethnic group in the process of space exploration. Lexical units that are part of the general stock of the Shor language retain signs of dialects and indicate inter-ethnic ties. The purpose of this work is to describe the lexico-semantic group as a part of the Shor lexicon. The research materials are original Shor texts, data from dictionaries, grammatical and etymological descriptions. The basic research method uses the provisions of comparative historical linguistics, as well as the method of thematic description of vocabulary. As a result, the current composition of the lexical and semantic division is outlined, the historical background on which the Shor lexemes function is presented, the connection of the Shor language, its dialects with the Turkic languages of different classification groups is shown. The integrated common Turkic vocabulary in the Shor language reflects the ancient genetic kinship of the Turkic ethnic groups. The lexicological description of the units of the Shor language reveals its areal features. The fixation of thematic vocabulary and its contexts is of practical importance, it helps to preserve authentic linguistic units necessary for the process of preserving the language and optimizing its use in the oral and written speech of native speakers. In the future, the considered lexical and semantic group “Residential buildings”, being an integral part of the thematic field “Human habitable space”, makes it possible to describe the names of settlement types among the Shors. The resulting segment of the lexicon will be included in the thesaurus of the Shor language as an integral part of it.
