Abstract

This article is devoted to research of the kinds of the attribute in the Mari language. According to the different features five kinds of the attribute are distinguished. They are expanded and not expanded; isolated and not isolated; prepositive and post-positive; coordinated and uncoordinated; homogeneous and inhomogeneous. In the Mari language attributes can be subject to semantically equal and unequal dependent words in the same or different morphological forms. Separation of the Mari attributes occurs in the case of postposition and there is also its coordination with the determining word. In the Mari language determining of the postpositional attributes is associated with emotional coloring of speech. During the research it was found that the preposition and postposition of the attribute characterize them as uncoordinated and coordinated. The homogeneous attributes are different from inhomogeneous ones in that they are connected with coordinative bond and they exercise identical syntax functions and characterize person or object on the different sides. All these kinds of the attributes give the most complete picture of parts of the sentence in the Mari language.

Summary

Introduction

Between the attribute and the determinedword there is an attributive relationship in the Mari language. The attribute is used before a noun or a substantivized word in the most cases in the Mari language and the order of the components is based on the model as “the attribute+the determined word”. The attribute points to the quality and properties of persons and objects, features of objects in time, position, quantity, attachment and their relation to other subjects. According to their significance following attributes are distinguished in the Mari Language as: 1) qualitative attributes which show color, taste, size, shape, material of the object; 2) attributes whish express attachment; 3) attributes which characterize subject according to its relation to another subject; 4) attributes which define quantity of the determined word. Attributes, which comprise attributive word combination, are members of its subordinates and they are combined with the subject, object, adverbial modifier, or nominal part of the predicate
