Abstract
The work attempts to structurally classify Mongolian analytical word forms (‘analytical constructions’) in a quantitative aspect. Materials and Methods. Heuristically, it is the ‘wide’ approach to analytical constructions represented in the so called ‘grammaticalization’ or ‘grammatization’ theory which is viewed as the most efficient one, but it must also be supplemented with quantitative methods developed by corpus linguistics. The paper analyzes materials contained in the General Corpus of the Mongolian Language and, namely, some most widely used structural classes of Mongolian analytical constructions. Results. The analytical constructions are arranged in alphabetical order of synthetical grammatemes included in analytical grammatemes, and inside the structure – in direct alphabetical order of structural analytical diagrams, and further – in order of frequency. The paper lists most widely used analytical contructions with absolute frequencies over 10 entries and relative ones – 9 ipm, the General Corpus of the Mongolian Language numbering a total of 1 818 such patterns.
