Abstract. In the article the grounds for identifying special textual complexes - "related transformations", obtained as a result of the analysis of the Buryat and Yakut epic tales, are given. According to the proposed classification by the type of relationship between the participants (subject/object of transformation), these textual complexes are divided into two types: 1) the related transformations of inequitable and 2) equitable actors. Each type of related transformations is characterized by the peculiarities of the internal structure, the way of correlation of the goals of the transformation of actors (identity or opposition), as well as the certain function in the text (compositional or artistic).
Key words and phrases: мифология Сибири, героические сказания (эпос), буряты, якуты, структура текста, мотив превращения, mythology of Siberia, heroic legends (epos), the Buryats, the Yakuts, text structure, motive of transformation
