Abstract
In this paper, the approach for investigation of asymptotic () scaling exponents of Eulerian structure functions (J. Schumacher et al, New. J. of Physics {\bf 9}, 89 (2007)) is generalized to studies of Lagrangian structure functions in turbulence. The novel "bridging relation" based on the derived expression for the fluctuating, moment-order - dependent dissipation time enabled us to calculate scaling exponents () of the moments of Lagrangian velocity differences in a good agreement with experimental and numerical data.
