Отражение историко-культурных контактов в диалектной лексике якутского языка

This study investigates the lexical reflection of historical and cultural contacts in the Olekminskii dialect of the Yakut language, based on field data collected during a linguistic expedition in 2022. The analysis focuses on 55 dialectal lexemes, including original Turkic words and borrowings from Evenki, Mongolic, and Russian. The results indicate that Evenki borrowings constitute the largest proportion (49.1 %), followed by Mongolic (24.5 %), Russian (13.2 %), and inherited Turkic vocabulary (13.2 %). Particular attention is paid to semantic, phonological, and morphological adaptation patterns. The findings demonstrate that the Olekminskii dialect reflects a complex history of interethnic interaction and has developed under conditions of sustained linguistic contact. Dialectal lexicon preserves lexical layers linked to traditional economic practices, environmental adaptation, and social interaction, serving as evidence of the region’s ethnolinguistic diversity and cultural memory
