Abstract

The article presents the work by A. E. Kulakovsky Species of Flora and Fauna Known to the Yakuts. The relevance of the research is caused by the demand for this work in our time, when the materials on the fauna and flora of Yakutia were systematized for the first time. The purpose of the research is to identify the author's contribution to the historical and cultural aspects of studying the nature of the Northern territories of Russia as exemplified by the analysis of the above work. The study was conducted within the methodological framework of historical-comparative and textual analysis. The source facts are presented on the contents of works on the flora of Yakutia, published from the middle of the 19th to the beginning of the 20th centuries. The results of the study confirm the value of Kulakovsky’s research – the native Yakut names of plants reflect the features of the Northern nature and the perception of the environment by the Yakuts. The authors came to the conclusion that the study of folk terminology testifies the development of the Northern region by the Sakha people, revealing its peculiarity as a linguistic source.
