Summary/Abstract: The article presents the first proposal of the investigation of the peculiarities of semantic derivation of noun structure in Selkup. It studies the Selkup nouns with a special type of semantic derivation, intermediate between monosemy and polysemy, which can be identified as “unaccomplished polysemy”. Here we use the data of the Selkup language and compare them with those of different languages of the Uralic family, as well as with those of genetically different languages of aboriginal nations of the Russian Federation.
