СAUSATIVITY AND IMPERATIVE VOICE IN THE BURYAT LANGUAGE
The article raises one of the common problems in agglutinative languages, the problem of the correlation and interaction of causativity and the imperative voice. The paper shows that this problem arises due to the fact that the main part of causative marked verbs traditionally refers to the verbs of the imperative voice in the five-term collateral structure, but the imperative voice itself was and remains a rather contradictory category. The main purpose of the article is to consider the relationship between the category of causative and imperative voice in the Buryat language and their relationship. The article states that the connection between the imperative voice and causativity in the Buryat language is obvious, since all morphological causatives are included in this voice. But the term " the imperative voice " does not correspond to the semantics of those verbs that are included in its composition: the semantics of motivation is realized only in verbs with animate objects, and at the same time, the verbs of this voice traditionally include verbs with inanimate causable objects. A compulsion is a volitional action on causable objects associated with compulsion, permission, or assumption. The paper notes that the composition of verbs that have a causative meaning in the Buryat language includes both verbs with the meaning of motivation, and verbs that implement only the meaning of physical or emotional impact, and the affixes that mark these verbs are also heterogeneous. Research has shown that the imperative voice here reflects only the fact of the existence of verbs that have a morphological (affixal) expression of causativity. It is pointed out that motivation refers to causativity as a part of the whole. Causative verbs in the Buryat language should not be considered in the system of the imperative voice, but as a special semantic phenomenon - the main lexical means of expressing the functional-semantic category of causativity.
