The article deals with particular cases for preference of comma usage, as provided by the punctuation rules of the Mongolian language as well as the practice of creating texts in the language. Rational for the function of the punctuation mark in the syntactic structure of the sentence, its syntactic nature and polyfunctions of the comma are considered in the material (in the texts) of Mongolian literature, in comparison with the translation of sentences into the Russian language. The latter has revealed peculiarities of how the punctuation mark functions and syntactic specifics of sentences presented by dissimilar (heterogeneous) languages. In particular, the role of comma in punctuation design of compound sentences is considered. Following leading linguists who have studied the problems of Mongolian Buryat and Altaic languages, the author has drawn her attention to the concepts of monosubjective, polypredicative, monosubjective-polypredicative constructions. The study has revealed syntactic
feature of the both compound and complex sentences in the syntax of the Mongolian language, given in comparative background in the Russian language, and range of functions of the comma presented in these sentences.

Key words: genre marker, mGur ’bum, Tibeto-Mongolian hagiography, medieval literature
