Abstract
In Kalmyk linguistics, significant attention is paid to color adjectives while other groups of adjectives remain understudied. Appearance adjectives comprise lexemes denoting age (old — young), height (high — short), bodily structure (fat — slim), facial features (snub-nosed, flap-eared), body parts (long-armed, deep-chested), state of health (healthy — ill), aesthetic features (beautiful — ugly).
The work aims to study the lexical compatibility of adjectives denoting bodily structure in view of the development of lexical entries for the Definition Dictionary of the Language of the Kalmyk Jangar epic.
