Abstract

 
 
 The Yukaghirs is one of the ancient aboriginal peoples of the north- eastern Siberia. Nowadays there are two local Yukaghir groups. The Tundra Yukagirs live in Lower Kolyma river and the Forest Yukaghirs dwell in Upper Kolyma. Their languages are common in sintax, but different in lexicon and phonetics as a result of historic established contacts with other newcomers. The paper is devoted to lexical transfer as a result of the language contacts as one of the most actual in the modern linguistics and purely studied themes in Yukagir studies. According to last research of the foreign lexicon in Yukaghir there is appr. 800 Russian words in Tundra Yukaghir, of which 170 entered via Yakut. The author classifies, characterizes and analyzes the direct and indirect Russian words within the group titled as “Technics” from functional and formal assimilative points of view.
