Phraseological units in causative emotive constructions of the Buryat language

This paper describes Buryat causative constructions containing phraseological units as a basic component, predicate center. These phraseological units act as a means of expressing one of the meanings of causative influence – the impact on the emotional sphere. The relevance of the work lies in the general turn of linguistics to the study of such a category as emotivity. Of interest to us is the problem of the interaction of the categories of emotivity and causativity on the material of the Buryat language. What is new is that in this work, for the first time in Buryat linguistics, causative constructions with phraseological units are described as the basic components of a situation of emotional impact. The methods of modern descriptive research were used in the work: introspection, media judgments and corpus data; descriptive method, methods of differential and component analysis. The material was collected using observation, comparison and comparison methods. The data placed in the Electronic Corpus of the Buryat language served as the material for the study, a solid sample of causative constructions with phraseological units from the artistic works of Buryat authors was performed, and information from the phraseological dictionary of the Buryat language was also used. The aim of the study is to describe causative constructions of the Buryat language with phraseological units as a predicate center. The objectives of the study include determining the role of phraseological units as one of the basic components of causative construction. As a result, it was determined that phraseological units as a predicate unit serve as means of intensifying the figurative-metaphorical and emotional components of the semantic structure of causative construction. They include causative predicates of a specific physical action, which can express a different range of emotions. Predicates have figurative meaning and intensify the emotional component of the construction. Nominal components of phraseological units denote an object that appears to a native speaker as a direct object of emotional impact.
