The paper presents an analysis of the structural types of the adnominal possessive constructions in three little-studied Southern dialects of Selkup: Narym, Vasjugan and Middle-Ob. Apart from the other two types of possessive constructions (predicative and external) the adnominal possessive construction corresponds to a noun phrase involving a possessor (dependent) and a possessed (head). The possessor can be expressed by a noun or a pronoun, thus two types of adnominal possessive constructions (PNP) can be distinguished: nominal PNP and pronominal PNP. There are some approaches to marking possession in each type of the PNP in Selkup, which boil down to morphological or syntactic encoding. The locus of explicitly expressed markers encoding the possessive relation can either be on the head, on the dependent, on both or on neither of them in Southern Selkup.
The present study considers vocabulary building strategies to help engineering students enrich functional lexis in the area of power engineering. The aim of the study is to investigate the role of lexical approach and to prove that increasing vocabulary is possible through studying synonyms and collocations and choosing the appropriate vocabulary learning strategy to understand the meaning of functional texts. We overview the synonymic rows used in power engineering area and offer creative tasks for educators and researchers to use in the classroom.
