This article identifies and describes onomatopoeia signals and onomatopoeia tunes, performed among different ethnic groups of the Yukaghir (e. g. Oduls, Vaduls), in the context of prosodic-acoustic native indigenous cultures of Northern Asia. Onomatopoeia signals are described from different points of view. The authors have considered their functioning in the traditional culture, in the context of a specific cultural-economic type, considering the surroun- ding geo-cultural space. The authors describe naturalistic hunting onomatopoeia signals versus onomatopoeia, accomplished with symbolic meaning in song genres and narratives, which depict images of birds. Sound images of articulation by several birds (duck, swan, crane, partridge etc) have formed musical basis for creation of hunting onomatopoeia signals, song melodies, singing improvisations, ritual dancing. This article is based on ethnographic and historical sources and field materials recorded by authors and other collectors in 1970–2000.
