Annotation The article deals with Buryat derivative words designating the supervising person and examines how the content of nominations is connected with their internal form which is understood as a distinct motivational sign which lies in the origins of the formation of derivatives. The analysis of the internal form of the words in this thematic group (that reflects the nature of the logical-semantic processes in derivation) reveals the specificity of the formation of these derivatives. The heart of their creation is the image caused by a horizontal vision of the world connected with nomads’ representations about the leader as a person who is ahead of other people and who leads them. The paper notes that not in all analyzed derivatives the given motivational sign is incorporated in the word which is at the top of the entry, but it is necessarily formed in the motivating verb which forms the substantivized participle with the meaning of a supervising person. The presented description of derivational connections of the words in this thematic group suggests that the motivational sign is not the actual meaning of the word element but a stable association, hence, the basis of the motivational sign is formed by prototypical images defined by the extra-linguistic factors.
Key words internal word form, derivational relations, motivation, motivational feature.
