DIATCHKOVSKY, F. N. (2011) Lexical and Semantic Group of Adjectives Denoting Space Dimensions and Coordinates in Modern Yakut. Altai Hakpo 21: 139-146. The Altaic Society of Korea.

The article is devoted to the specific character of lexical polysemy in lexical and semantic groups (hereinafter LSG) of adjectives denoting space dimensions and coordinates in modern Yakut. This LSG, performing the role of quantitative and anthropometric metaphors, peculiarly refracts a parametric component ‘more/lesser of the norm’ which is a nucleus of their original meaning.

Keywords: Yakut language, lexical and semantic group (LSG), adjective, polysemy
