Abstract. The article is devoted to the identification of similarities and differences in the semantic structures of the Tuvan word дyжер and Khakassian т?сер . The analysis of the semantic structures of the Tuvan word дyжер and Khakassian т?сер shows that the semantics of these words is at the same time similar and different. The similarity is manifested in the fact that the semantic structures of the Tuvan motion verb дyжер and Khakassian т?сер have the similar types of meanings: basic (primary) nominative meaning; derivative-nominative meaning, motivated by the basic meaning. The difference in the semantics of the words being compared is that the semantic structure of the Tuvan word does not include such meanings as ‘to fall from somewhere’ (LSV ₃) ‘to land, to decline’ (LSV ₄), which Khakassian т?сер has. In turn, the Khakassian word т?сер does not have the meaning to sink (LSV ₃), typical of the Tuvan word дyжер . This is conditioned by the fact that every nation has its own specific features of the language, culture and tradition.
