Adjectivised, substantivised forms of participles in Diwani Lughat-at-Turk by M. Kashgari

2024-09-19T11:52:08+00:00

Ancient and Medieval Turkic monuments occupy a unique position in the study
of the historical processes of the formation and development of the Kazakh language. The study and analysis of linguistic forms in M. Kashgari’s Diwani Lughat at-Turk represents a significant and pressing research objective in the present era. Despite extensive research into this work from literary and historical perspectives, there is still a paucity of linguistic and theoretical analysis of Kazakh linguistics. Accordingly, this article examines the participles, including their adjectivised and
substantivised forms in M. Kashgari’s Dictionary. This topic is being considered for the first time in the field of Kazakh linguistics.
The principal objective of this article is to examine the participles in the Dictionary by M.
Kashgari, regarded as a Medieval Turkic written monument, in order to ascertain their substantive and qualitative meanings, as well as the ways in which they are used. In order to achieve this aim, the article presents a systematic classification of the groups of participles used in the 11th century, based
on historical grammar, and identifies their predicative and attributive meanings.
The article employs the Turkic Dictionary by M. Kashgari (translated by A. Yegeubai) as its
principal source, while also considering the theoretical conclusions and interpretations of domestic and foreign scientists. The findings of the study contribute to the examination of Medieval Turkic written monuments and the history of the Kazakh language. Furthermore, these findings will prove invaluable to those engaged in historical grammar and Kazakh word formation research.

Anthropocentric paradigm issues and the cognitive aspect of language universals

2024-08-23T10:21:30+00:00

The linguacultural values of the language allowing to reconstruct ideas and stereotypes
manifested by a certain part of a language system. The definition of linguistic universals is given, which characterize languages or most of them. Accordingly, within the anthropocentric paradigm, the establishment of common and individual linguistic characteristics gives rise to the multifaceted field of modern linguistics, comprising a range of scientific directions. Universal language characteristics are
regarded as informative material for linguacultural researches. They convey nationally determined interpretation of a word with other object through associations based on real or cultural codes. Basic and universal codes are distinguished among existing cultural codes in each culture. They are used
to determine and express linguistic worldview. This research paper reviews that the existence of such codes allows to explain the emergence of stereotypes which reflect experience and knowledge of the given culture bearer which in turn influences the appearance of language universals.

Representation of sacred vocabulary in linguistic consciousness

2024-08-23T11:43:01+00:00

The lexical-semantic system of languages exhibits a set of common features and a
range of semantic spaces that are characteristic of native speakers. The sacral lexicon, considered inseparable from the history, life, cognition, and religion of the nation, forms a lexical group that constitutes the semantic space of the language of an ethnos.
In Kazakh linguistics, the semantics and etymology of the sacral lexicon, the connection of sacral words with everyday life and cognition, and the primary reasons for mastering sacredness are studied in conjunction with ethnography, history, and culture. However, the perception of the sacral lexicon by the linguistic consciousness of the modern generation and its representation are not considered.
Accordingly, the article is significant from both a scientific and practical standpoint in elucidating the vitality of a nation and its national language through the manifestations of linguistic consciousness.
The study aims to identify the modern associative representation of units with sacred meaning in the nation’s cognition. Analyzing linguistic consciousness associated with words “cradle,” “bow,” and “spindle” reveals the inseparable unity of language and nation. This evaluation assesses the preservation of the national code and unveils the uniqueness of a nation through the native language in the globalized era.
The article uses an associative experiment, the survey, to study sacred vocabulary in linguistic
consciousness. Results show a prevalence of national character, indicating that sacred units with people’s life, traditions, and customs persist in younger generations, crucial for preservation and transmission. The influence of other cultures becomes apparent in individual responses to stimulus words like “cradle,” “bow,” and “spindle,” as revealed through the analysis of participants’ reactions
in the experiment.

The scientific value of the texts of armenographic monuments

2024-09-13T08:00:29+00:00

Language occupies an important place in the development of any state, since language develops in direct contact with the thinking, history, culture, and worldview of the people. Assessing the works of foreign and domestic scientists and classifying the heritage of the Middle Ages by linguistic features, one can notice that Turkic written monuments in different periods were written in different alphabets, for example, using runic, Uighur, Manichaean, Brahma, Arabic, Latin, Armenian, Chagatai, and Cyrillic. Based on the use of Armenian graphics, it was also established that in the Middle Ages, the heritage of the Turkic peoples, including the Kipchaks, was written in a variety of genres and has reached our days as a written monument. In the modern public life of Kazakhstan, the need to study the monuments of the Armenian Kipchak script is especially acute.

We seek the origins of the Kazakh language and the Kazakh nation in the Qypchak community, which was formed in the ancient Turkic period and flourished in the Middle Turkic period. Historical and linguistic works written about the history, language and culture of the Qypchak community, which in the Middle Ages occupied the territory from Central Europe to Northern China, show that the subject of the Qypchak is relevant in modern science. This direction aims at a comprehensive study of the history, language, ethnography, culture and other aspects of the nomadic steppe civilization, comparing the origins and roots of the Qypchak ethnic groups with their present state and revealing traces of historical continuity. The article examines the work of the German scholar Adalbert Merx "Türkische Sprichwörter" (Turkic proverbs and sayings), written in 1893 and stored in the library of the Bayerische Staats Bibliothek Muenchen, where proverbs and sayings in the memorable language are read directly from the Armenian graphics, revealing the relevance and scientific value of the topic.

Features of proverbs and sayings in M. Kashgari’s Diwani Luhat it-Turk

2024-09-11T07:04:17+00:00

Proverbs and sayings are the key to the knowledge of culture.They play a great force
involved in the formation of spiritual and material culture, a monument of the culture of the people, a mirror of the life of the people, folklore, revealing the artistic thought of the people.
Wise words that sound rational and short were formed from the ancient Turkic language, this
is a phenomenon born of centuries of human life experience. There is reason to believe that the final opinions are deeply significant instructive words that have become proverbs and sayings among the people that have come down from ancient times to the present day.
A number of medieval Turkic written monuments, for example, those written by M. Kashgari, J. Balasagun, and A. Yugineki, are full of proverbs and sayings. The study of proverbs and sayings in the legacy of the Middle Ages provides an opportunity to study the Turkic worldview. Recognizing the new, learning the old, studying the heritage left by the ancestors, using it for the benefit of the Kazakh people is the main requirement of today. The article analyzes the features of proverbs and
sayings in M. Kashgari’s work “Divani lugat it-Turk”.

Kazakh toponymy in Mongolian regions (based on written sources)

2024-08-27T12:24:45+00:00

The article examines the historical toponymy of Mongolian Kazakhs, based on an analysis of written data. More than a century and a half has passed since Kerei Abak, a branch of
the Kazakh people, settled in the Mongolian lands beyond the Altai. Mongolian Kazakhs, who have experienced various historical periods and hardships, now consider the remote side of Altai and the Kobda region as their homeland. Names of places and water symbolize history and people’s memory. The main aim of the scientific work is to collect and systematize the historical toponymy of
Mongolian Kazakhs and to determine their main characteristics and connection with history.
At the same time, the written data are primarily the travelogues of the expedition members who visited Mongolia in the 19th century, the poems of folk poets written in connection with the historical events that brought dire conditions to the country. Additionally, the memories and emotions of compatriots who spent their childhood in their homeland and later returned to their homeland, and the poems and emotions of modern poetsand other materials were used as a basis. In the research work, the published books related to the history of migration of Mongolian Kazakhs and their current lives were used as research sources. The relevance of scientific work historical toponymy of Mongolian Kazakhs has never been an object of research. The innovative character of the work is also
connected with this.
The historical toponymy of Mongolian Kazakhs is rich and diverse. Historical toponymy gives a
lot of information about the history of blood brothers and the events of the country. It is determined that the settlement of Mongolian Kazakhs in their homeland is connected with self-sacrificing struggle and courageous decisions of historical figures. The theoretical and practical significance of the work is the research work in recognizing the history of the settlement of Kazakhs abroad and the formation of historical toponymy. The results of the work can be used in lectures of philology departments of higher educational institutions, and research works on this topic. Descriptive (descriptive), historicalcomparative
(comparative), historical-comparable (typological), linguistic-etymological, cognitive,
and summative methods were used in the research.

Formation of hybrid terms in the construction and architecture sphere

2024-09-25T06:23:18+00:00

The penetration of words from another language into the native language, and in
some cases through their translation in one way or another, enriches the vocabulary of the native language. During the Soviet period the vocabulary of Turkic languages including the lexical word composition of the Kazakh language was replenished with words from the Russian language. As a result of this, the scope of Kazakh language application was expanded. The vocabulary of a certain language is enriched due to the internal capabilities of the language, through the creation of derivative words from existing words as well as through the borrowing of new words from other
languages. The main purpose of this article is to study ways of formation of hybrid terms in the construction and architecture sphere in the modern Kazakh language, to determine the linguistic nature of these terms, to analyze the grammatical structure, as well as to determine the reasons and patterns of the appearance of these terms in the construction sphere. The objectives of the research include selection of materials, identification of sources and time of penetration of borrowed words into the Kazakh language, semantics and creation of a typology of terminological units of a foreign
language. Professional texts in the field of construction, materials from encyclopedias, commercial catalogs and terminological dictionaries and standards were used as research material. The sources of introduction of foreign words into the Kazakh language are identified and a typology of foreign language nominations is presented. The article highlights lexical, morphemic, syntactic and semantic borrowed words.

Sociolinguistics studies the relationship between society and language, studies
psychology, character, and mentality of a person in society through language, differentiates the use of language by various social groups, systematizes the social nature of language in psychology and ethnography, and analyzes ways to influence the characteristics of language of social conditions in society, weighs and evaluates the importance of language in public life. The purpose of the article is to study the manifestations of social problems, social attitudes and social values in the language and speech discourses of Kazakh society based on the works of Abai. Within the framework of linguopsychological and linguocultural approaches, the article analyzes for the first time Abai’s statement about «to worry about your carelessness». The task of the scientific article is to reveal, analyze and systematize the general measure of life actions defined by Abai. To study the importance of a set of actions in the formation of integrity and wholeness in the life of a person. The practical significance of the results of scientific work lies in showing the national value through Abai’s conclusions, which is becoming a spiritual necessity in modern Kazakh society. The idea of “accepting and evaluating people by words”, mentioned by Abai, is currently recognized as one of the main areas of word study in world linguistics. The article defines the dynamic rating of human and related basic values, as well as their normative concepts and principles, through the prism of Abai’s wisdom. Abai’s thoughts, formed into a complex system through historical experience, have now turned into a value concept. The analysis of Abai’s words from an axiological point of view, which is a conceptual series, is of practical importance.

Architectural and construction discourse and genre features

2024-08-27T13:30:10+00:00

The article examines the formation of discourse as one of the directions of the
anthropocentric paradigm in linguistics, based on the work of scholars who have defined discourse in terms of linguistics. On our part proposed the definition of the linguistic term architectural and construction discourse, which is the main object of research in this article, the subject of the research – its genre and structural features. Architectural and construction discourse, which is a complex
discursive structure, denotes a set of texts focused on professional communication, considered in the architectural and construction field. We have indicated that the genre space of discourse is implemented within the framework of academic, scientific, project, legal, juridical, marketing and advertising discourse. We clarified that the architectural and construction discourse as far as information is conveyed is divided into oral and written, and speech genre is understood as thematic, substantive and structural unity. Types of speech genre of the architectural and construction sphere were defined: speech genre of academic discourse; speech genre of scientific discourse; speech genre of project and construction discourse; speech genre of legal discourse; speech genre of legislative
discourse; speech genre of marketing discourse; speech genre of advertising discourse. The following parameters of the speech genre were singled out: the image of addresser and addressee, linguistic embodiment, communicative competence, communicative goal, communicative intention, dictum and modus content, combination of speech acts.

Audio description as a special form of translation activity

2024-08-14T08:32:33+00:00

The article examines the current state of translation activity in Kazakhstan, which is focused on special social group of people in our society: people with special needs. This group of individuals needs special types of translation to communicate with the other people. These special types of translation are defined by the authors of the article as socially-oriented types of translation. Nowadays there are other types of translation for special social group of people such as sign language interpretation and dactylic interpretation which can be also considered as socially-oriented types of translation. The aim of the research is to study the historical and socio-cultural factors that led to the emergence and development of audio description. The main idea of the research emphasizes that socially-oriented types of translation fell out of sight of modern researches of translation and translation activity. As a result it is necessary to recognize that the issues of creating a methodological base for audio description research as well as training of audio description translators are of particular relevance in modern society as well as in Kazakhstan. The study provided a compare analysis of audio description as a special from of translation activity.

Audiovisual translation and audio description: history and development

2024-08-14T08:28:46+00:00

The intensive development of technology in the twentieth century had a fundamental influence on the appearance of new opportunities for obtaining information. During the same period, the attitude towards people with disabilities that existed before that time was radically changed. All this has led to the emergence of audiovisual translation as a form of social translation. The article examines the historical and socio-cultural factors that led to the emergence and development of audiovisual translation in its form of implementation – audio description. Despite the fact that understanding of the importance of including people with disabilities in the social context came at the beginning of the twentieth century, when the first attempts were made to replace visual methods of obtaining information by blind or visually impaired people with descriptions, the first theoretical works on this topic began to appear only in the 70s of the twentieth century. Currently, there is an increased interest in the development and improvement of audiovisual translation. The main idea of the article is to describe the prospects for the development of audiovisual translation in the XXI century

The idea of this scientific work is to compare and find differences in Samuil Marshak’s and Khamit Yergaliyev’s versions. The scientific significance of this article lies in the insufficient study of the sonnets translated by Kh. Yergaliyev. The practical significance of the study is determined by the usefulness of the
presented data for the researchers. Scientific conclusions about W. Shakespeare’s sonnets, literary translation and translation of sonnets were taken into account. Comparative, descriptive and analytical methods were widely used, and assisted to draw a conclusion about the differences between variants of sonnet.

Verbalisation of feelings and emotions through the description of nature in Saken Zhunusov’s «The Path» (Amanai men Zamanai)

2024-05-21T06:24:40+00:00

Emotiology has acquired the status of one of the priority areas of traditional linguistics
in recent decades. The mastery of the means of expressing emotions and the ability of the author of a work to convey implicit emotive meanings that can be reflected in the content through grammatical and lexical units play a determining role in the formation of semantic and communicative context. The article analyses the stylistic techniques and lexical means used in verbalization of feelings and
emotions of the heroes of Saken Zhunusov’s work “The Path”. The relationship between the emotional state of a person and the description of natural phenomena is revealed. In the process of the analysis it is established that verbalization of feelings and emotions of heroes occurs with the use of lexical units
with emotional colouring, metaphorisation, repetition and colour solution. The landscape sketches in the work are characterised by the prevalence of negative emotions because of the central theme of the work – collectivisation in Kazakhstan in the 1930s.

M.O. Auezov and the Turkic world

2024-09-11T06:44:47+00:00

The article analyzes the issues of studying the Turkic culture and the shared spiritual heritage of the Turkic peoples, widely reflected in the works of M. Auezov, in accordance with the
demands of the present time. It examines Mukhtar Auezov’s theoretical research on the Kyrgyz epic “Manas”, conducted over different years, his extensive unpublished manuscripts, and the linguistic features of the epic. The world of the prominent writer and academician M. Auezov, which occupies a significant place in Kazakh literary studies, is analyzed from the perspective of new viewpoints, fresh analyses, and theoretical conclusions in the artistic space. The vast topic of “Mukhtar and Manas”
in literary studies has not yet been thoroughly explored, and there are very few works that deeply analyze the literary and creative connections between the two neighboring countries. Even Mukhtar Auezov’s valuable research on “Manas”, which served as a golden bridge between the two nations, has not been given detailed analytical consideration, nor has the significance of his scholarly thoughts
been fully recognized in terms of their value to the spiritual heritage of both nations. M. Auezov’s scientific legacy, which is a unique phenomenon in the oral literature, oral poetry, and folklore of the Turkic peoples, is studied as a shared spiritual value of the Turkic world, culture, and literature. The main directions of the research include the study of Auezov’s intercultural influence, his connections
with other Turkic writers, and his ideas on national and cultural dialogue. The scientific and practical significance of the work lies in deepening the understanding of Auezov’s role in preserving and developing the cultural heritage of the Turkic peoples as a literary bridge between them.
The results of the research demonstrate that Auezov’s works have had a profound impact on the cultural identity of the Turkic peoples, highlighting their importance for contemporary Turkic literature. The value of the work lies in highlighting the writer’s contribution to Turkology and cultural studies, emphasizing his role in shaping cultural identity.

that since the rehabi litation of Shakarim Kudaiberdiuly, significant work has been carried out to study his work and activities. Despite the fact that a tremendous amount of work has been done among scientists, there are points that are worth focusing on and paying special attention to.
In this article, the author for the first time analyzed the works of Shakarim. As a result of the research, it was possible to identify three historical characters who took place in the poet’s work. The poet used their names in the Kazakh spelling of that time: a gallant gentleman of Anglo-Saxon origin, acting as a prototype of the expression of the patronage of wealthy Kazakhs of the late 19th and
early 20th centuries, Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt I is known in his works as “Walder Beldet”. Hisham ibn Abdul-Malik, the Umayyad caliph, is known to Shakarim under the name “Asham patsa”, with whom the wise steppe man entered into an unequal dialogue, having put up a worthy resistance and emerged victorious. An Lushan is a nomadic diplomat who made the entire Tang Empire shudder,
known to the poet as Pan-Zhi-Zan Khan. There are a number of personalities in Shakarim’s works, that require further clarification. This will be possible thanks to the study of other sources, that the poet used in his research.

Application of andragogy principles in teaching foreign language (using English as the example)

2024-09-29T02:22:01+00:00

Developing methods and ways of teaching for adult learners is one of the main tasks in modern higher educational institutions and extended educational systems, because a specialist of the modern progressive society must be not only a professional in his field and possess a number of skills and abilities necessary for work, but be proficient in one or more foreign languages. However, in our
experience many specialists neither speak a foreign language at all, nor know it at a high enough level to run professional operations in a foreign language, whether it is negotiating or writing a business letter. For this reason, this article analyses the works of many scientists studying the problems of andragogy, a
science dealing with the specificities of adult education. Not only main negative psychological factors, interfering the effectiveness of foreign language learning by
adults, are identified but also positive ones, among which there is a high degree of motivation and the ability to independently control their learning process, evaluate learning results. A teacher plays an important role in a learning process, whose main task is to plan a course so that adult learners can achieve by the end their goals and can apply their knowledge in practice. Therefore, various
communicative methods in teaching adult learners are used to develop speaking,
reading, listening and writing skills, as well as to form a number of competencies
necessary for professional activities and process of communication in a foreign
language. The main objective of this article is to find the effective ways, methods
and strategies in teaching adult learners. The relevance of the study is explained
by the need of specialists with a foreign language knowledge in the modern labor
market; hence, a language learning by adults is highly demanded.

2024-05-21T06:28:35+00:00

STEM education is a progressive trend in modern education. Its aim is to develop students’ critical thinking, research abilities, engineering thinking based on scientific methods, technical applications, mathematical modelling, etc. Implementation of STEM approach will expand the boundaries of students’ thinking, bring Kazakhstani education closer to the international standard, and open new opportunities for students. Statistics on the implementation of STEM
education in the Kazakhstan education system shows that the transition in the pilot phase began in 2012, in the conditions of updated content in Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools, Haileybury, Quantum School, etc. However, at the level of university education this topic is highly significant. The application of STEMeducation technologies in teaching foreign languages is of particular interest.
The article presents an analysis of the results of the international project, which was funded under the grant program of the U.S. Mission in Kazakhstan. The article considers STEM education as a means of teaching a foreign language at the university, which allows to include students in the activities in the natural-scientific field, thus ensuring the success of future specialists in the world of constantly
changing information technologies. All this is possible due to the interdisciplinary applied nature of STEM education. In the course of the study, a meta-analysis was conducted to determine the impact of STEM educational practices on student lear ning outcomes in teaching and learning process. The research makes an overview of universities in Kazakhstan in terms of students’ demographics, language level, etc. Then the context is provided on teacher training, teacher preparation, lesson planning, a model for planning and delivering instruction to university students. This context lays the foundation for the development of an integrated STEM learning module that utilizes STEM + Language learning approach.
