The use of addresses in Nikolai Neustroev’s comedies

At the present stage of the functioning of the Yakut language, one of the most important tasks is to study the language of fiction. Addresses in works of art play an important role, because with their help you can express an attitude, a feeling for the hero, display his status, establish contact with the interlocutor, show the relationship between the characters. That is why the study of the peculiarities of the functioning of addresses in comedy is relevant. The purpose of the study is to study the peculiarities of using addresses in the comedies by Nikolai Neustroev. To achieve this goal, the following tasks are solved: to describe the history of the study of addresses in the Yakut language; to consider the meaning and types of addresses; to classify the addresses used in comedies by lexical and semantic groups; to reveal the features of using addresses in a sentence. The following research methods were used in the course of the work: descriptive, structural and statistical. The material of the study was the comedies “Kukaaki Kuluba” (1920), “Tar” (1921), “Kuhahan tyyn” (1925) and “Tieteybit” (1920-1925) by Neustroev. The following types of addresses s are highlighted: lexical means of attracting attention (secondary nominations of kinship regulatives, addresses in relation to multiple addressees, special words, a universal model of address доҕор ‘friend’); kinship terms; addresses of social inequality; addresses related to changes in the social system; proper names; emotional and figurative addresses; and abusive addresses. The scholarly novelty of the work consists in the fact that the study of the peculiarities of using addresses in the Neustroev’s comedies had not previously been the subject of special study and was analyzed for the first time in the lexical, semantic and syntactic aspect. The theoretical and practical significance of the work lies in the fact that its results can be used in the study of the functioning of addresses in the works by other Yakut writers, comparative study of addresses in Turkic languages, as well as in teaching the syntax of the Yakut language, in classes on a philological analysis of a literary text.
