Abstract
Syntactic molecule (SM) is the minimum functional and syntactically autonomous unit able to serve as an answer to the question. Goals. The paper formulates the principles of identification of the SM. Results. The main features of grammatical tagging in the General Corpus of the Mongolian Language GCML-3b (compared to earlier versions GCML) are delineated: introducing of the basic vocabulary, principles of monosemization, principles of categorial-semantic notation, main distinctive features of grammar notation (part-of-speech splitting of the indeclinable words and splitting of the nominative). The principles of ordering of morphological structures in a quantitative model of the Mongolian language, as well as the interpretation of suprasegmental markers in written text are discussed. In conclusion, a brief survey of the general structure of the quantitative model of the positional-morphological grammar of the Mongolian language is discussed.
