Günümüzde yaşayan Kırgızların çoğunluğunun Müslüman olsa da geleğe dayalı dini inanışlarını tamamen terk etmiş değillerdir. Kırgızlar arasında varlığını uzun süre devam ettiren geleneksel dini yapının Orta Asya’da varlığını sürdüren Gök-Tanrı, güneş, ay, yer, su, atalar ve ateş kültlerine dayandığını öne kabul edilmektedir. Tabiat kuvvetlerine kutsallık atfetme geleneksel Kırgız dininde çok eski dönemlerden itibaren varlığını sürdürmüş olsa da bu inancın hangi etkilerden ve hangi şartlardan doğduğu ve ne zaman başladığı tam olarak belirlenememiştir.Tarihçilerin eski kaynaklara dayanarak aktardıkları bilgilerden ve sosyologların gözleme dayalı çalışmalarından bugün halen Kırgız toplumunda Geleneksel Kırgız Dini’nin etkisinin anlaşılmaktadır. Bu çalışma ile, bu etkinin ne kadar olduğunun belirlenebileceği bir ölçek geliştirmek için yapılmıştır. Literatürdeki bilgiler taranarak ölçekmaddeleri yazılmış ve uzman görüşü alınması ve maddelerin son hale getirilip Kırgızistan’da yedi ayrı bölgede 600 kişiye uygulanmıştır. Açımlayıcı faktör analizina tabi tutulan maddeler atalar kültü, ölüler kültü ve tabiat üstüne olan inanç olmak üzere üç faktöre ayrılmıştır. Ölçeğin açıklayabildiği toplam varyans değeri %51,93’tür. Güvenirliğinin anlaşılması için yapılan analizde birinci boyut olan tabiatüstüne inanç boyutunda toplam yedi madde için Cronbach's Alpha değeri 0,790, ikinci boyut olan atalar kültü boyutunda beş maddede Cronbach alfa (crα) değeri 0,74, üçüncü boyut olan ölüler kültünde boyutunda üç madde için Cronbach alfa (crα) değeri 0,71 olarak hesaplanmıştır.

  • ARTICLE FUNCTIONAL-SEMANTICMUTUAL SUBSTITUTION of CASES in the TURKIC-SPEAKING LITERARY MONUMENTS of the GOLDEN HORDE PERIOD Gulnara R
    ISSN: 0976-3104 ISSUE: Multidisciplinary Social Science & Management ARTICLE FUNCTIONAL-SEMANTICMUTUAL SUBSTITUTION OF CASES IN THE TURKIC-SPEAKING LITERARY MONUMENTS OF THE GOLDEN HORDE PERIOD Gulnara R. Shakirova*, Gulnaz F. Gaynullina, Liliya M. Giniyatullina, Muslima M. Shakurova, Department of General Management, Kazan Federal University, Leo Tolstoy Institute of Philology and Intercultural Communication, Kazan, RUSSIA ABSTRACT The XIIIth – XIVth centuries were played the most important role of the development of the history and culture of Turkic nations and in the formation of the medieval Tatar ethnos. This period in the history of the Turkic literary language is marked, on the one hand, the beginning of kypchakizatsiya language monuments; on the other hand, Tatar literary language of a later period (XV – XVIII centuries) in its traditions goes directly to the literary language of the Golden Horde period that is to the written literary language of XIII – XIV centuries and Turkic-speaking monuments of this period are of direct relevance to the history of the Tatar language. This article attempts to analyze the functional-semantic mutual substitution cases in the Turkiс-speaking literary monuments of the Golden Horde period. And the Turkic-speaking monuments of this period are directly related to the history of the Tatar language. Turkological science has achieved significant success in the linguistic study of Turkish written monuments, which has the great importance both for tracing the evolution of the cultural and historical process of individual nations, and for recreating the history of Turkic languages. Despite this, written monuments of the history of the Tartar literary language of the earlier period (XIII – XIV centuries) have not been studied sufficiently.

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.

At the present time, a series of questions concerning an etymology of the future participle –ası/-esi in the modern Turkic languages does not have a due and exhaustive treatment in the Turkology. In the course of the research, similar and distinctive features of the future participles –ası/-esi in Turkic languages were revealed. It should be noted that comparative-historical researches of the grammatical elements in the modern Turkic languages have gained a considerable scientific meaning and undoubted actuality. The actuality of the paper’s theme is conditioned by these factors. Keywords: Future tense participle –ası/-esi, comparative-historical analysis, etimology, oghuz group, kipchak group, Turkic languages, similar and distinctive features. Introduction This article is devoted to comparative historical analysis of the future tense participle –ası/- esi in modern Turkic languages. The purpose of this article is to study a comparative historical analysis of the future tense participle –ası/-esi in Turkic languages. It also aims to identify various characteristic phonetic, morphological, and syntactic features in modern Turkic languages. This article also analyses materials of different dialects of Turkic languages, and their old written monuments. The results of the detailed etymological analysis of the future tense participle –ası/-esi help to reveal the peculiarities of lexical-semantic and morphological structure of the Turkic languages’ participle.

In the Republic of Turkey, an early history text provided the definition of being a Turk as "any individual within the Republic of Turkey, whatever his faith who speaks Turkish, grows up with Turkish culture and adopts the Turkish ideal is a Turk." Today the word is primarily used for the inhabitants of Turkey, but may also refer to the members of sizeable Turkish-speaking populations of the former lands of the Ottoman Empire and large Turkish communities which been established in Europe (particularly in Germany, France, and the Netherlands), as well as North America, and Australia.

  • Abstracts English
    International Symposium: Interaction of Turkic Languages and Cultures Abstracts Saule Tazhibayeva & Nevskaya Irina Turkish Diaspora of Kazakhstan: Language Peculiarities Kazakhstan is a multiethnic and multi-religious state, where live more than 126 representatives of different ethnic groups (Sulejmenova E., Shajmerdenova N., Akanova D. 2007). One-third of the population is Turkic ethnic groups speaking 25 Turkic languages and presenting a unique model of the Turkic world (www.stat.gov.kz, Nevsakya, Tazhibayeva, 2014). One of the most numerous groups are Turks deported from Georgia to Kazakhstan in 1944. The analysis of the language, culture and history of the modern Turkic peoples, including sub-ethnic groups of the Turkish diaspora up to the present time has been carried out inconsistently. Kazakh researchers studied history (Toqtabay, 2006), ethno-political processes (Galiyeva, 2010), ethnic and cultural development of Turkish diaspora in Kazakhstan (Ibrashaeva, 2010). Foreign researchers devoted their studies to ethnic peculiarities of Kazakhstan (see Bhavna Dave, 2007). Peculiar features of Akhiska Turks living in the US are presented in the article of Omer Avci (www.nova.edu./ssss/QR/QR17/avci/PDF). Features of the language and culture of the Turkish Diaspora in Kazakhstan were not subjected to special investigation. There have been no studies of the features of the Turkish language, with its sub- ethnic dialects, documentation of a corpus of endangered variants of Turkish language. The data of the pre-sociological surveys show that the Kazakh Turks self-identify themselves as Turks Akhiska, Turks Hemshilli, Turks Laz, Turks Terekeme. Unable to return to their home country to Georgia Akhiska, Hemshilli, Laz Turks, Terekeme were scattered in many countries.

  • Signs of the Old Turkic Language in Tatar Dialects: Suffix -Dachy Functioning
    TATARICA: LANGUAGE SIGNS OF THE OLD TURKIC LANGUAGE IN TATAR DIALECTS: SUFFIX -DACHY FUNCTIONING Erjan Alkaya, Frat University, R-2, №:8, University Campus, Elâzığ, Turkey, [email protected]. Three dialects relating to the kipchak group of the Turkic family of languages are found in the Ta- tar language: middle, western (Mishar) and eastern (the language of the Siberian Tatars). Among the Tatars living in the Volga and Ural region, the number of native speakers of the Mishar dialect is the second largest after Kazan Tatars. The middle dialect is at the heart of the Tatar literary language, however, the Mishar dialect and its subdialects are also important in language development. Despite the linguistic affinity of the Mishar subdialects to the literary language, they have certain dialectal fea- tures and preserve ancient language phenomena. This article deals with the features of the Mishar dialect and subdialects which played an important role in the formation of the Tatar nation and are currently spoken in different regions of Russia. The article explores the preservation and peculiarities of use of the suffix -dachy in these dialects, noted in the Old Turkic written sources. Key words: suffix-dachy, Tatar language, Mishar dialect, Turkic language, Old Turkic language. The suffix -dachy forms the future verb tense the Old Uyghur records. For example: törtdin and the participle in the Old Turkic language. yıŋak erdeçi begler (U III, 2) ‘becks coming from There are examples of adding the voiceless form - four corners’; nom, boşgut boşgundaçı tüzünler taçı/-teçi to “r, l, n” in the consonantal stem and (TT V B, 52) ‘rebels who will be taught a lesson’; adding the voiced form -daçı/-deçi to the vowel kelteçi arkış (H.-ts., 76) ‘coming coffle (cara- stem and other consonantal stems in Orkhon in- van)’;ordu karşı közeddeçi (U III, 4) ‘a person who scriptions [1:97].

    Life Science Journal 2014;11(7s) http://www.lifesciencesite.com Some results of the research system-synchronous modern dialect of the Tatar language Ferits Yusupovich Yusupov and Irina Sovetovna Karabulatova Kazan Federal University, Tatarstan str, 2, Kazan, 420021, Russian Federation Abstract. This article analyzes the study of modern dialects of the Tatar language. The authors were carried out dialectological expeditions over the years of various regions of residing Tatars. The authors have drawn parallels with the different groups of Turkic languages. The specific layer is highlighted in the diasystem, which we nominally call as oguzizms. They belong to archaism category and have the anachronistic character. Their presence in all specific systems shows that these forms were frequently used, but later they were superseded by “rival” forms. It seems probable that these forms were derived from old-Kipchak language. Nowadays they are considered as the old-Turkic layer of origins. The authors provide new classification parameters to allocate Tatar dialects. [Yusupov F.Y., Karabulatova I.S.
