The article examines the syntagmatic relations of the lexeme kara (‘dear’) in examples selected from Tuvan folk song texts. The semantic characteristics of the Tuvan adjective kara (‘black’) in the meaning of ‘dear’ are explored within a socio-communicative context. The primary focus of the study is the combinatory potential of the lexeme kara (‘dear’) with other parts of speech. The analysis employs statistical and contextual methods. The source material consists of Tuvan folk songs published in various collections and scholarly works. The study identifies the most and least frequent words that co-occur with kara (‘dear’). The analysis reveals that the lexeme kara most frequently forms attributive phrases with adjectives, izafet constructions with substantives, and verbal combinations. Mediumfrequency collocations include those with motion verbs and pronouns, while the least frequent are combinations with the particle chok. The frequency of each individual collocation is also determined. Thus, the word kara (‘darkskinned/dark beauty > dear/beloved’) is actively used in Tuvan folk love lyric songs. The lexeme exhibits a distinct range of syntagmatic relations, the intensity of which is determined by the thematic content of the songs themselves.
