Yakut oral folk art reflects the history, culture and philosophy of the Sakha people. The study of its verbal structure contributes to the knowledge of many phenomena inherent in the language of the people. Thus, at the present stage of development of Yakut linguistics, one of the urgent tasks is to study the language of genres of Yakut oral folk art, in particular, ritual poetry. Wedding algys (benevolence) is a unique archaic layer of Yakut folklore, good wishes from relatives and friends to young spouses. The study of its lexical and morphological features determines the characteristic features of expressive oral poetic speech, which reflects the wedding culture of the Sakha people. The purpose of the study is to study the features of the language of wedding algуs. To achieve this goal, the following tasks are being solved: to consider the classification of Yakut ritual poetry; to identify the features of wedding algys as a variety of algys; to explore the lexical and morphological features of Yakut wedding algys. In the course of the work, a comprehensive linguistic methodology was applied, including descriptive, structural, and statistical methods. The research material is the texts of wedding algys from the scientific publication «Ritual Poetry of the Sakha (Yakuts)» (2003). The following lexical and morphological features of Yakut wedding algys have been identified: characteristic formulaic expressions, paired words, archaic vocabulary, allegories, synonyms and antonyms in rhythmic and syntactic parallelisms, verbs in the imperative mood, interjections expressing emotional and volitional reactions. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that the study of the features of the language of wedding аlgуs has not previously been the subject of special study and has been analyzed for the first time in lexical and morphological aspects. The main provisions and results of the work can be used in further studies of the language features of other varieties of аlgys, as well as other genres of Yakut oral folk art. The practical part of the research can be applied in teaching vocabulary and morphology of the Yakut language, as well as a special course on the language of folklore, in classes on the philological analysis of literary text. 

This article attempts to conduct a comparative analysis of somatic phraseological units (PU) of the Japanese and Yakut languages. For the first time, special attention is paid to identifying typologically common and specific features of somatic PU of the compared languages; the degree of closeness of PU by semantic correlation is revealed; full, partial, false equivalents and non-equivalent PU in the somatic phraseology of the Japanese and Yakut languages re established. The aim of the study is to identify similarities and differences between PU with the component “body part” in the Japanese and Yakut languages from the point of view of interlingual equivalence based on the analysis of their lexical and semantic features. As a result of the study, universal and purely national features in the phrase-formation activity of somatic designations of the studied languages are revealed. In the analyzed languages, somatisms are quite widely used in the phraseformation process (54 somatic lexemes in Japanese and 55 in the Yakut language). Phraseologically active are mainly the same names of body parts (arm, eye, head). The universality in the use of somatisms in the specified languages is a consequence of the reflection of extralinguistic factors, extralinguistic realities. For example, such human organs as arm, eye, head, heart, leg perform more vital functions than hair, forehead, neck, etc. A specific feature of the use of lexical somatisms in the compared languages is the different, and sometimes contrasting, phrase-formation potential of some somatic lexemes. Thus, the phrase-formation activity of components in different languages can be different. 

Color designations in the linguistic picture of the world of any people are one of the central categories, since the primary development of the world by man occurs through the senses, in which vision is one of the most important organs of perception of the world. This paper examines the semantic feature of the words of color vocabulary in the artistic texts of Even poets and writers. The purpose of this article is to study colordenoting vocabulary in Even poetic and prose texts. The main task is to determine the composition and formation of coloratives in Even lyrics and prose. The theoretical significance of this study is that the results of the analysis contribute to the study of the language and style of Even poets and writers. We used and analyzed the works of art of Even writers and poets Nikolai Tarabukin, Vasily Lebedev, Vasily KeymetinovBargachan, Andrey Krivoshapkin, Maria Amamich, Varvara Arkuk, Anatoly Stepanov. Stories, short stories, poems in the Even language were analyzed and color epithets were identified and their semantics were considered: “nyobati” (white) this epithet is the most important, key color in Even poetry, it personifies everything white that surrounds the Evens – winter, snow, animals, sacred deer, etc.; or to denote the color silver – the epithet “meӈen” in the prose work of Amamich. Various color designations are described, some positions in which color epithets are used in various aspects and their frequency are revealed, as Even writers and poets use color vocabulary in their own way. 

The article analyzes errors of web translators Google Translate and Yandex Translate in the YakutRussian language pair in three texts of different genres. The Yakut language was introduced to web translators several years ago, and their mainstream use is at an early stage. Analyzing machine translation in the Yakut-Russian language pair can contribute to the development of recommendations for the effective training of both machine systems and human translators, primarily in machine translation post-editing. Thus, the classification of machine translation errors in this article is relevant in the current development stage of the Yakut-Russian theory and practice. For the experiment’s purposes, the following texts were translated via the specified services: a) an excerpt from a scientific paper in Russian; b) an excerpt from a translation of the Bible into Yakut (reverse translation into Russian); c) a poem in Yakut on morality. The classification of machine translation errors in this language pair is based on typologies of other language pairs: a) lexicosemantic and lexico-stylistic errors; b) errors in standards and usage; c) grammar errors; d) spelling errors; e) punctuation errors. The nature of errors is described and the reasons for their occurrence are explained. The main causes of errors are: a) the difference in the volume of initial data in the machine systems for analyzing the language of the text being translated; b) the special nature of similarities and differences of contacting languages, associated with polysemanticity and grammar gaps. Upon comparing the quality of translations of both services, their strengths and weaknesses in translation with the Yakut language are noted. The article concludes that the linguistic databases of these services need improvements, and human translators who work with the Yakut-Russian language pair need to acquire corresponding expertise. 

The significant categorical changes observed in modern Translation Studies are directly connected with the anthropological and cultural turns of humanities, proceeding in accordance with the general scientific principle of complementarity. These changes are reflected in the emergence of new objects of translation in accordance with the new goals and objectives of translation activity. The category of neo-objects with full right includes an ethnic text, resulting from the speech activity of a certain ethnic group and serving as a reliable “storage” of its cultural information and the memory. The issues of preserving and recreating the cultural information potential of the ethnic text and the theoretical problems associated with them determine the need to create ethnic Translation Studies as an independent section of the science of translation, which requires the emergence and further development of appropriate theory and didactics. The peculiarities of ethnic translation and its active presence in socio-cultural processes dictate the necessity of its inclusion in educational standards and the creation of appropriate training and retraining programs for future translators which activity lies in the developing ethnic sector of humanities. The present study considers the experience of translating Siberian ethnic texts and combines description and prescription of potential Ethnic Translation Studies. 

The article presents a linguistic and cultural analysis of strategies for translating the historical novel by Vasily Yakovlev-Dalan “Tygyn Darkhan” from Yakut into Russian. The relevance of the work is due to the need to analyze common and unique components reflecting the cultural characteristics of the Yakut and Russian linguistic cultures. The research was carried out within the framework of the Sirius project “Summer: start your project” (2024/2025) and is devoted to the systematic study of the mechanisms of transmission of cultural codes in the interlanguage space. The methodological basis was based on the methods of continuous sampling (853 text examples), comparative and descriptive analysis. The typology of cultural codes with a quantitative distribution was revealed: anthroponymic (474 cases, 55.5%), everyday objects (136, 16%), color (61, 7%), zoomorphic (85, 10%), numerical (58, 7%) and astronomical (39, 4.5%). Key results: the dominance of lexical transformations (635 cases, 74.5%), the need to combine translation strategies, the importance of cultural adaptation while maintaining ethnographic authenticity. The results of the study demonstrate the importance of cultural codes for native speakers and the need for an intercultural translator’s competence when working with texts rich in ethnographic elements. The results can be useful for both theorists and translation practitioners seeking a deeper understanding of cultural nuances in literary texts.
