Abstract

This article describes comparative constructions of the synthetic-analytical type in the Yakut and Altai languages, in other words, comparisons formed by means of functional words-indicators. The material of the study was taken from the heroic epics of the Turkic peoples: the Yakut epic "Djuluruyar Nyurgun Bootur" by P.A. Oyunsky and the Altai epic "Maadai-Kara" by A.G. Kalkin. The comparative analysis of the Yakut and Altai comparative constructions revealed wordspostpositions unique for each language: курдук, дылы, кэриэтэ, саҕа, тэҥэ in the Yakut language, тӳҥей, кептӳ, кеберлӱ in the Altai language as well as the standards and objects of comparison in the heroic epics of the Yakut and Altai peoples.
