A. V. Popov. The administrative regime of the Russian-North Mongolian border in the terms of Qing law (XVIII—first half XIX century) — 27
Principle idea of this article is to characterize legal rules imposed by the authorities of the Qing Empire in the
XVIII—first half XIX century in order to establish the administrative regime of the Russian-North (Khalkha)
Mongolian border. The author comes to the conclusion that the studied area of the law was formed under the influence
of doctrines of establishing administrative power in Mongolia, typical of the Qing political theory and
practice during the studied period. An important element of these doctrines was the thesis to isolate Mongolia
from external influences for the preservation of the nomadic lifestyle of the Mongols and their traditional military
organization, which the Qing rulers were ordained role of one of the pillars of their Imperial power. However, the
situation on the Russian-Mongolian border contrasted sharply with the provisions of Qing laws. Qing China failed
to create an administrative system that was able to suppress contacts between the population of the Russian and
Mongolian border regions, not controlled by official authorities.
Key words: North Mongolia, Russia, the Qing Empire, the Russo-Mongolian relations, the Qing doctrine of
establishing administrative power in Mongolia, the border between Russia and Mongolia.

of power and domination, reveal the language patterns that define them and the situations that reflect the idea of
exercising the power, allow to demonstrate the system of settled meanings, as well as the semantic manifestations
of the ambiguousness of the notions of power among the Mongols in 13 century.

the fact that he received the “Mandate of Heaven”. The possession of this seal alongside the successful conquests
were regarded as a justification of the promulgation of the new Dai Qing dynasty in 1636. The legendary story of
this seal dating back to the period of the Warring States is found in the “History of Buddhism in China” (Tib.

A. V. Mazarchuk. 1st person plural pronouns in modern Mongolian language — 65
This is the first article of a planned series of articles on Mongolian pronouns. Here, the author gives some general
information on Mongolian pronouns and shares her observations on first-person, plural personal pronouns in
modern Mongolian. The author analyzes, among other things, characteristic features of the pronouns, such as inclusivity
and exclusivity, and comes to the conclusion that the standard interpretations of inclusivity, ‘you, I and
others’, and exclusivity, ‘I and others, but not you’, as stated in the book “General Morphology” by V. Plungyan,
are not entirely suitable for the description of the pronouns манай (1Pl.Excl) and бидний (1Pl.Incl). Based on statistics,
the author suggests that the pronoun манай is neutral, and the pronoun бидний is used only when the
speaker intends to stress the identical degree of involvement of himself/herself and the addressee in the situation.
Key words: the Mongolian language, pronouns (prowords), grammar, inclusivity, exclusivity.
