Annotation

The article deals with the issues of systematic nature of the folklore lexicon, in particular, the idea of clusters and cluster analysis is used to identify the national and cultural identity of the vocabulary of Kalmyk songs recorded by G. Balint, E. Dzhabdykov, A. M. Listopadov, G. J. Ramstedt, N. Ochirov, A. V. Burdukov, B. Dzhimbiev, N. K. Volkovich, N. Ts. Erendzhenova, C.-D. Nominkhanov, B. M. Sandzhieva, B. B. Okonov, L. Tsebekova. The purpose of this article is to identify lexemes by meaning related to the cluster "Atmospheric precipitation". The cluster under consideration consists of two subclusters “names of precipitation formed on the surface of the earth and on objects” (chig, namrһ, shүүdr 'dew', tsang 'hoarfrost, frost', mөsn 'ice, ice floe') and 'names of precipitation falling on the earth's surface. surface” (khur 'rain', tsasn 'snow', möndr 'hail'). The theoretical and methodological basis of the article was the main provisions of modern Russian linguistic folklore, including the study of the vocabulary of Russian folk songs as a system, presented in the works of A. T. Khrolenko, A. M. Bobunova, S. V. Supryagi, M. A. Bobunova. The cluster principle differs from the usual thematic classification of lexemes in that it includes words belonging to different parts of speech, which makes it possible to more fully represent one or another fragment of the “picture of the world”. In the vocabulary of Kalmyk songs, the most frequent lexemes were "names of precipitation falling on the earth's surface": khur 'rain' (25), mөsn 'ice' (9), tsasn 'snow' (8), the lexemes mөndr ' hail' (4) and chig 'dew' (5).
