Sagidolda1 1 Ph. D. of Philology, Professor of the Kazakh Linguistics Department at L. N. Gumilyev Eurasian National University (Astana, the Republic of Kazakhstan). E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Declension system of the Turkic languages is characterized by a large number of cases and a variety of forms of cases. The research works indicate the number of cases in the Turkic languages in different ways, in some languages they are considered to be 6, and in the others 7 or 8. There are different opinions about the number of cases in the language of the ancient Turkic written monuments, known as the source of the Turkic languages. Some scholars defi ne 11 cases and some say that the number of main cases is 7. In the language of the Orkhon, Yenisei and Talas monuments there are hidden or null form of cases, as well as the meaning of cases can be given by individual words. Also, some endings correspond with the formants of other cases according to the form or comply with other formants of cases according to the meaning. If we look at the course of historical formation and development of case endings (formants) in the language of the ancient Turkic written monuments, the written heritage of medieval Turkic language and modern Turkic languages, we notice that in general, the reconstructed original Ancient Altaic and Turkic proto-language form is preserved in the declension system. The peculiarities of the declension system of the modern Turkic languages are connected with a variety of case endings that is a phonetic variation by adding endings to the last sound of the root-word. Keywords: declination system of the Turkic languages, the language of ancient Turkic monuments, medieval Turkic written heritage, reconstruction, Ancient Altaic proto-language, common Turkic proto-language, phonetic variation of endings, grammatical meaning, null form. 166 LINGUISTICS Introduction not exist not only in the ancient Turkic Category of case — one of the grammatical written monuments and the written heritage categories peculiar to the system of nominal of medieval Turkic language, but in all Turkic parts of speech (names) modifi cations. languages.

  • Uyghur Turkic Women and Cultural Expectations: Moslem Society in Change
    Philosophy Study, ISSN 2159-5313 March 2014, Vol. 4, No. 3, 200-209 D DAVID PUBLISHING Uyghur Turkic Women and Cultural Expectations: Moslem Society in Change David Makofsky Ethnic Minorities Studies Center Minorities University of China Profound cultural changes are transforming the Moslem world of Central Asia, partly as a response to dramatic events in the Middle East and partly to the great economic development in the region. These changes in the Moslem world especially affect the lives of women, since the cultural norms involving the protection of women are an important facet of Moslem life. The goal of this investigation is to show the importance of the ethnographic contribution to anthropological and sociological theory in investigating the new aspects of life in Central Asia. The first concept is the cultural identity of the Uyghur population of China. The second concept is that of Uyghur women, namely, the varied range of women from their role in a conservative, and patriarchal family structure to that of independent actors in a contemporary urban society. We understand that young Uyghur women face a more different set of choices than those of women in other Moslem cultures or in the rest of China. If they identify with their culture as Uyghur and Moslem, their culture restricts their opportunities as Chinese citizens. As students at Minorities University of China (MUC) in Beijing, the relative freedom of Beijing influences them a great deal. Education and employment are the vehicles for integration into the larger Chinese group. Institutions, such as schools of ethnic studies, and the college competitive exam (the gaokao), provide opportunities as well as obstacles for Uyghur women as part of the dynamic change in the Moslem world.

  • SITTING “UNDER the MOUTH”: DECLINE and REVITALIZATION in the SAKHA EPIC TRADITION OLONKHO by ROBIN GAIL HARRIS (Under the D
    SITTING “ UNDER THE MOUTH” : DECLINE AND REVITALIZATION IN THE SAKHA EPIC TRADITION OLONKHO by ROBIN GAIL HARRIS (Under the Direction of Jean N. Kidula) ABSTRACT The Sakha epic tradition, olonkho , features the longest and most complex epic tales of all the Siberian peoples. In its most traditional form, olonkho is a solo genre comprised of both dramatic narrative poetry and unaccompanied song alternating throughout the extensive, multiple-evening performance of the work. This work explores the current revival of interest in olonkho, examining what led to its decline during the Soviet era as well as the factors currently playing a role in its revitalization. It addresses the transformations of olonkho in the 21 st century and identifies keys for its long-term sustainability. These four areas—attenuation, revitalization, transformation, and sustainability—are the primary research categories. In order to more effectively posit potential future directions for olonkho, I trace olonkho performance practice historically, exploring the ways it interacted with the contextual milieu of each time period, beginning with those times immediately before and during Soviet power. The research questions are organized around the elements of time , place , and event . The event parameter is further divided into three areas of inquiry: the performers , audiences , and content of the olonkho tradition. The literature addressing these themes is drawn, not just from the discipline of ethnomusicology, but also from anthropology, comparative literature, culture studies, musicology, performance theory, post-Soviet and post-colonial studies, area studies, and sociolinguistic models. Data collection in the field largely relied on ethnographic interviews, documented in first person accounts, both in the text and the accompanying DVD.

  • Selected Works of Chokan Valikhanov Selected Works of Chokan Valikhanov
    SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV CHOKAN OF WORKS SELECTED SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV Pioneering Ethnographer and Historian of the Great Steppe When Chokan Valikhanov died of tuberculosis in 1865, aged only 29, the Russian academician Nikolai Veselovsky described his short life as ‘a meteor flashing across the field of oriental studies’. Set against his remarkable output of official reports, articles and research into the history, culture and ethnology of Central Asia, and more important, his Kazakh people, it remains an entirely appropriate accolade. Born in 1835 into a wealthy and powerful Kazakh clan, he was one of the first ‘people of the steppe’ to receive a Russian education and military training. Soon after graduating from Siberian Cadet Corps at Omsk, he was taking part in reconnaissance missions deep into regions of Central Asia that had seldom been visited by outsiders. His famous mission to Kashgar in Chinese Turkestan, which began in June 1858 and lasted for more than a year, saw him in disguise as a Tashkent mer- chant, risking his life to gather vital information not just on current events, but also on the ethnic make-up, geography, flora and fauna of this unknown region. Journeys to Kuldzha, to Issyk-Kol and to other remote and unmapped places quickly established his reputation, even though he al- ways remained inorodets – an outsider to the Russian establishment. Nonetheless, he was elected to membership of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society and spent time in St Petersburg, where he was given a private audience by the Tsar. Wherever he went he made his mark, striking up strong and lasting friendships with the likes of the great Russian explorer and geographer Pyotr Petrovich Semyonov-Tian-Shansky and the writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

As the Uzbek literary language develops, so do the Uzbek dialects. This article describes the history of the development of the Uzbek language, its dialects and some features of these dialects, scientific and substantiated information about the areas of distribution. Key words:Turkic languages, the Altai language family, Karluk,Kypchak, Oguz,heKarluk-Khorezm languages, the Uyghur language, Indo-Iranian languages, Fergana dialects, urban dialects. Uzbek language is the official language of the Republic of Uzbekistan. More than 34,5 million people live in Uzbekistan, over 70% of the population consider Uzbek as their native language. About 26.5 million people speak the Uzbek language, moreover, this language is spread not only on the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan, but also in other Asian states: in Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Turkey, in the People's Republic of China and in Russia [7]. The modern Uzbek language belongs to the Turkic languages of the Altai language family. However, different linguists classify the Turkic languages in different ways, based on various characteristics, which, at times, are not always obvious. Traditionally, the Uzbek language belongs to the eastern (Karluk) group of the Turkic language group. Along with Turkish and Azerbaijani languages, Uzbek is considered one of the most common languages of this group[1;5].

RIZA NUR AND HIS RELATIONSHIP TO THE TURKISH HISTORY THESIS Sona Khachatryan Turkish Studies, M.A. Thesis, 2015 Thesis Supervisor: Yusuf Hakan Erdem Keywords: nationalism, Dr. Rıza Nur, Turkish history, Turkish History Thesis, early Republican era This thesis attempts to examine whether Dr. Rıza Nur had any influence on the Turkish History Thesis. Being marginalized, Dr. Rıza Nur is either an unknown figure or he is known for his criticism towards Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. This has had several repercussions on Dr. Rıza Nur’s image, leading to the neglect of his contributions to Turkish history, his influences as a Turkist, and, in particular, the lack of interest in producing scholarly works about him. In order to manifest whether Dr. Rıza Nur influenced the Turkish History Thesis, Dr. Rıza Nur’s Turkish History, published over the period between 1924 and 1926, has been studied and compared with the Turkish History Thesis, which was launched by the Kemalist regime at the beginning of the 1930s. By comparing the two historical narratives, which depict the Turkish national historiography of the early Republican era, a significant number of similarities are observed that demonstrate the high possibility of Dr.

    SHS Web of Conferences 55, 04019 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/shsconf/20185504019 ICPSE 2018 Orthoepical potential of speaking in the Yakut language Ivan Alexeyev1,*, and Irina Sorova1 1North-Eastern Federal University named after M.

It forms the orthoepical potential of the Yakut language. Patterns of interaction of language and intonational structures of a separate word, word-combination and communicational types of phrases are defined. Criteria of speaking behavior are also defined, on the basis of which indicators of correctness of perceived acoustic parameters of articulated speech signals are revealed. This whole complex of articulatory-acoustic speech indicators allows to consider speech signal as not only physiological formation, but also as indispensable designer of cogitative sides of speaking act. Therefore, in standard peculiarities of Yakut speaking, specific parameters are formed, due to which judgmental potential of speech model is typologically formed. Logically-grammar peculiarity of speaking act as semantically important object forms standard feature of idea. Consequently, discussed acoustic parameters of existing Yakut speaking establish defining their communicational formula of types of utterances. The problem of orthoepy in altaism (languages of Altai region) has not been properly developed yet. Being established as a language phenomenon, research on correct articulation of sounds, syllables, word-combinations and utterances, as well as a nature of verbal and phrasal stress can be found in works of phonologists, comparativists and phoneticians like N.
