Abstract
The article analyzes the peculiarities of pharmacophytonyms’ naming in the Yakut language. The purpose of this study is to identify motivational features of medicinal phytonyms. During the study we examined names of Yakut medicinal plants, such as «erbehin», «n’eem», «bokhsurghan», «kulun kuturuga», extracted by the method of continuous sampling from various dictionaries and lexicographic sources. The analysis revealed the main motivational features of Yakut names of medicinal plants, such as «place of plant growth», «appearance of a plant», «anthroponyms in phytonyms», «metaphorical motivation», etc. The predominant motivational feature in the names of medicinal plants of the Yakut language is the «appearance of the plant», through which 21 pharmacophytonyms and six medicinal plant names with metaphorical motivation were formed. In addition, the analysis showed that in the Yakut language two-component and three-component phytonymic constructions prevail.
