Abstract: The subject of the study is a semantic and etymological analysis of determining the nominative features of lexical units and the classification of totemic nominations of the bear in Even language. As a result of the study of comparative analysis of evens' totemic vocabulary with other languages of the Manchu-Tungus linguistic group, the peculiar features of lexical units functioning in subdialects and dialects of Even language are determined. The survey of ethnographic and folklore studies reflecting the cult worship of the bear in the culture of the minority ethnic group, which led to the emergence of a whole complex of rituals, is carried out. In the work, the method of linguocultural analysis, contextual, comparative, and introspective methods were used. The novelty of the study is due to the fact that at the first time the linguistic analysis of totemic names of a bear possessing the ethnospecific features in the linguistic picture of the world of the Evens is carried out.The relevance of the study is due to the importance of language research within the anthropological paradigm of modern linguistics, and an insufficient study of zoonymic vocabulary in the dialects of the Even language, revealing the features of the linguistic picture of the world of the people.
