Categorially and Semantically Structured Basic Mongolian Lexemes: Grammatical Classes of Word Forms (a Quantitative Perspective)
https://doi.org/10.22162/2500-1523-2018-12-179-218
Abstract
The article provides an overview of grammatical classes of word forms of basic Mongolian lexemes, the word forms being characterized in terms of frequency use. The General Corpus of Modern Mongolian (Rus. GKMYa) served as a source of data to calculate frequencies of respective word forms. A most distinctive feature of the dictionary is that the introduced items have been structured categorially and semantically. The latter shall contribute to resolve further typological tasks with respect to world languages, i. e., it is reckoned to secure potential typological compatibility of the dictionary with similarly structured dictionaries of other languages. The work is based on principles of quantitative Mongolistics developed by the author in a number of preceding papers. So, the article provides 454 basic modern Mongolian word forms applied within GKMYa-1a, the absolute frequency of use exceeding 255 ipm and the relative one exceeding 220 ipm respectively. The word form dictionary is shown in the form of a table gradated by a grammatical class of a respective word form (grammatical classes listed alphabetically).
