[email protected] Abstract The present article is devoted to the comparative study of lexis of the Old and Middle Turkic written monuments and the modern Bashkir language and the identification of semantic peculiarities of the analysed vocabulary units. The lexical material is analysed both diachronically and synchronously using contrastive, comparative, comparative-historical and descriptive methods. This set of methods lets authors conduct a detailed study of names of the trees and their parts used in the Old and Middle Turkic monuments in comparison with the modern Bashkir and other Turkic languages. The phytonyms' basis of the modern Bashkir language denoting the names of parts of plants, wild trees, fruit trees and bushes is the Old Turkic stratum.
