To the description of the predicate in the Chukchi language

 

Weinstein Ch. ¹

 

In this paper the author has gathered data on a little studied topic, the predicate in Chukchi language. The diversity of the material proposed to the reader shows once more that W. Bogoras was right when he wrote "The Chukchee language is rich in words and pliant in forms" (W. Bogoras «Chukchee». Page 51. New York, 1904-1909).

Keywords: predicate, Chukchi language, research
