Количественные значения в глагольных конструкциях эвенкийского языка на материале устных рассказов 2005—2011 гг.
Quantitative meanings in the Evenki verbal constructions on the material of oral stories of 2005—2011

Summary/Abstract: In the paper, we consider morphological means and other structures used to express actionality types referring to quantitative meanings in Evenki. We focus on aspectual and actional verb affixes and on certain tense and participle markers that have the meaning of quantity, as well as on constructions with adverbs. We observe the use of these constructions in the corpus of oral stories in Evenki; a brief survey of every affix’s semantic characteristics is given, based on the corpus data and the data of the modern literate Evenk language's grammars. An approximate statistics of the use of those aspectual affixes that have a quantitative meaning in the corpus is also included. It is noted, that certain actional affixes' frequency of use in the corpus is different from that cited in standart literate Evenki grammars.
