Summary/Abstract: The article considers the reasons for semantic change on the example of changes occurring in the meanings of the verbs of swimming in Selkup language. The authors of the article state that the key factor influencing the formation of the Samoyedic swimming verbs system is the method of traditional household management of the native Samoyeds. This article provides an analysis of the swimming verbs systems in Selkup and proto-Samoyedic languages. The latter was reconstructed as a result of analysis of the verbs of swimming in Nganasan, Enets, Nenets, Kamassian, Mator and Selkup languages.
