The article discusses research perspectives on the Tatar language based on the LingvoDoc platform. Digitalization of language learning in modern linguistics allows us to move to a new level of describing the language structure. Large corpora containing millions of word forms have been created in all European languages since the 90s of the last century. Currently, this has been done not only in the Russian language, but also in many national languages of Russia such as Tatar, Bashkir, Udmurt, Mari, Moksha, Komi, etc. One of the recognized platforms in modern national linguistics is the development of the LingvoDoc virtual laboratory, created ISP RAS. This platform gives an opportunity to create, store and analyze multilayer dictionaries, language materials and dialects. The main functionality of Lingvodoc is used by more than 250 linguists who process their materials online, more than 1000 dictionaries and 300 text corpora in the national languages of the Russian Federation have already been collected. We consider the possibilities of this platform to study the Tatar language. We believe that electronic corpora allow us to solve a variety of theoretical and practical problems of the language. At present, when the Tatar literary and everyday spoken language is actively used in all fields, it is very important to make a complete description of its features, which will help create more accurate grammars and dictionaries. The relevance of the study is due to the need to use a gloss corpus of texts in the Tatar language. As modern studies in linguistics show, nowadays it is impossible to describe the state of the language without such corpora and analyze its grammatical structure, which corresponds to the world standards of modern science. The LingvoDoc platform makes it possible to process a significant amount of material in a short time and create corpora with glossing and removed homonymy based on samples of the Tatar literary, business, colloquial and dialect languages.

Systematization and description of the arsenal of linguistic means of expressing emotions represent one of the major tasks for linguistics that returns nowadays to the theory of Wilhelm von Humboldt, which in the early XIXth century appealed to study the language in close connection with individual speakers. A logical interest of the researchers to the processes of manifestation of emotions in the language has resulted in the formation of a new scientific field – linguistics of emotions aimed at the emotional environment of the language. In the Tatar language human emotions are verbalized mostly by the phraseological units representing various mental states of a person, one’s inner world. Studying means of expressing emotive vocabulary illustrated by the phraseological units provides an opportunity to present the whole complex of means of the language and the speech, as well as contribute to understanding the mentality and psychology of a Tatar language person. This article covers the Tatar phraseological units expressing negative connotation. The theme group “anger” represents the object of research. The authors have studied the emotional and appraisal semantics of the given group of phraseological units and attempted the revealing the specificity of the way of thinking and the worldview of the Tatar people. The analysis revealed that the phraseological units of the studied group are characterized by a great diversity of lexical, semantic, emotional and appraisal aspects. The emotional and appraisal volume of the phraseological units varies depending on the emotional state of the speaker and on his attitude to the addressee. Cultural and connotative semantics of the phraseological units is closely connected to the Tatar people’s worldview which has formed and has been enriched throughout the life experience.
