Abstract
The article describes the lexical synonyms of the Evenki language by the example of adjectives denoting the character traits of a person. Their nature is revealed, and a general characterization is given, with specific features identified. The study has employed the most applicable synonymic criteria for Evenki lexical material described in the theoretical literature and used in the research practice of the lexical synonymy of different languages. The ways and means of synonymous resource formation have been revealed. The principle of selecting synonymous series in the Evenki language and allocating the dominant has been developed. The specific features of the synonymic series of the lexical-grammatical category of Evenki adjectives have been clarified, as well as the selected types of lexical synonyms have been characterized. When defining lexical synonyms, it is fundamentally important to understand them as different linguistic units expressing the same concept. The main criterion for distinguishing lexical synonyms in the Evenki language is the commonality of the semantic basis, allowing for the differences of the semantic, stylistic, emotionally expressive nature within the same concept. An additional criterion is the interchangeability of synonyms in determining their meanings.
