Abstract
The article describes the grammar of order inherent to inflectional affixes of participles in the Kalmyk language. The term ‘inflectional model’ stands for an abstract scheme according to which a real inflectional chain with due account of morphophonological compatibility laws and semantic rules is formed. The research is based on the data from the Kalmyk National Corpus (kalmcorpora.ru) currently comprising nearly 9 million tokens which is sufficient enough to obtain objective information on inflectional chain modeling. The importance of the research lies in the necessity to classify, systematically describe and analyze associative properties of morphemic units in the synthesis of lexical units (‘wordforms’ if defined broadly) of the Kalmyk language. During the analysis of the materials of the Kalmyk National Corpus over 190 Kalmyk participial inflectional models have been identified. A number of the models are dialectal by nature, e.g., the model Base + Dur + Fut + ConfPart (=n) is found in the texts whose authors speak the Dorbet dialect of the Kalmyk language. The list of models contains both well-known and frequent schemes as well as those newly introduced into scientific discourse (e.g., the model Base + Caus + Dur + Hab + ModPart (=dzh)).
