Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of verbs of being in the Yakut language. The relevance of this article is justified by modern approaches to the study of the Yakut language as a system consisting of multi-level means of expression, in light of studying the first literary texts in the context of genre transformations. The study was carried out based on the texts of Alexei Kulakovsky, the first Yakut poet, founder of Yakut fiction, linguist, written in the genre of algys (blessing). The article presents the results of examining the verbs of being in the works of Kulakovsky in the genre of algys (blessing) as a set of interacting means according to the principle of functional-semantic grammar “center – periphery”. The hypothesis of the study is the idea of the presence of nuclear and peripheral means of expressing the category of beingness in the poetic works of Kulakovsky in the genre of algys (blessing). The study used a continuous sampling method when forming material from text and lexicographic sources, and a descriptive method with elements of statistical analysis. The article is the first to analyze verbs as nuclear and peripheral means of expressing the category of beingness in the poetic works of Kulakovsky in the genre of algys (blessing). It was established that basic verbs, combining a group of verbs with the semantics of causation of the beginning of existence, can be classified as nuclear means of expressing the category of beingness in the Yakut language. Other verbs, having in their semantic structure a meaning that goes beyond the designation of causation of the beginning of existence, in the context of the works considered, convey the situation of the onset of the beginning of an event or phenomenon. Based on the material of the reviewed works, such verbs represent peripheral means of expressing the category of beingness in the Yakut language
