The Opposition of the Definite/Indefinite Past Tensein the Kyrgyz Language: the Semantic Effects of the Translation of Chingiz Aitmatov Story “The White Ship”
Research ArticleEthnic Culture Volume 4 No 1- Author:
- Begaiym A. Altynbekova
- Work direction:
- Languages of the Nations of the World
- Abstract:
- The article considers the category of time as a phenomenon of language and literary text based on the story of Chingiz Aitmatov "The White Ship". The interest to the category of time is caused by the asymmetry of the semantics of time in the Russian and Kyrgyz languages in the works of Aitmatov, which plays an important role in the translation of the text from Russian into Kyrgyz. The purpose of the study is to analyze the functions of the past tense, especially the past definite/indefinite in the Kyrgyz version of the story. The analysis is based on the onomasiological approach. The results of the analysis are summarized as follows. In the Russian and Kyrgyz languages, when expressing the grammatical category of time, there is a structural and semantic discrepancy between the forms of past and future tense. But in both versions of the story the past tense lies at the central place. On the one hand, this is due to the non–subjection of the future to human nature, on the other hand, to respect for the past of ancestors as an experience that warns the next generation against mistakes. In the Kyrgyz version of the story, thanks to the various forms of the past tense, the translator was able to vividly convey the whole range of emotions of the boy when it came to the Mother Deer, and the translator was also able to show the importance of the ancestors for the boy.

- Theoretical and Applied Education Research
- Abstract:
- Introduction. The article deals with the patrilineal system of the Kyrgyz and Russian languages. The results, studies of the terms of kinship of the patrilineal system of the Kyrgyz and Russian languages are presented. It is revealed that the kinship system of the Kyrgyz language belongs to the general Türkic vocabulary fund, and the system of kinship of the Russian language to the general Slavic vocabulary fund, and also considers the characteristic features of these lexical fields. Research methods: Synchronous-comparative, namely typological. The object of this article is a plan of the content of the lexical-semantic field of kinship in the Kyrgyz and Russian languages. Research results. The terms of kinship were considered, such as: «ata», «choӊ ata», «baba», «cuba», «zhoto» and others. The terms are conventionally named: «Patronyms of the older generation» (PSP) and we will try to determine the specifics within this functional field, based on lexicographic sources. The article will consider and identify the semantic features of the patrilineal system or patronyms of the older generation (PSP), the purpose of which is, firstly, a general characteristic that exists in the field of kinship terminology, and, secondly, the definition of the specifics of the language within this lexico-semantic group. Conclusions. The patrilineal kinship system assumes the primacy of the male generation for both Kyrgyz and Russian ethnolinguistics, but in the Kyrgyz language it has a deeper and more stable character.

Somatisms in the Structure of the Paremiological Means of the Kyrgyz Language
Research ArticleDevelopment of education Volume 4 No 1- Author:
- Sabira Z. Zhancharbekova
- Work direction:
- Ethnopedagogics
- Abstract:
- This article provides a semantic analysis of somatisms in the proverbs of Kyrgyz folklore, examines the ability of somatic units to metaphorize and convey in an allegorical form the cultural and everyday features of the life of the people. Proverbs from Kyrgyz folklore containing a somatic component were selected for analysis. The purpose of the study is to carry out a semantic analysis of somatisms and determine their role in the linguistic picture of the world of native speakers of the Kyrgyz language. It is shown that the most significant somatic concepts reflect the cultural, value and worldview guidelines of the people, their centuries-old history and everyday life. In the analysis, special attention is paid to the ability of somatisms to metaphorize complex everyday, historical, and cultural concepts. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that the systematic analysis of various somatic groups in the proverbs of Kyrgyz folklore (communicative, denoting the senses, etc.) has been led for the first time. As a result, it was revealed that the image of "corporeality" is widely represented in the linguistic picture of the world of Kyrgyz speakers, somaticisms are an effective way of conceptualizing objects and phenomena of the surrounding world, as well as abstract concepts. It is concluded that the communicative function is often conveyed in Kyrgyz proverbs using the somatism “language”; somatism “head” replaces concepts similar in meaning (“mind”, “intellect”). The functional and external characteristics of body parts are used in folklore to denote a person's role in a social group, status, age, etc. Somatisms reveal complex folk images and metaphors that make up the linguistic picture of the world of native speakers of the Kyrgyz language.

- Work direction:
- Problems of Crosslinguistic and Intercultural Communication
- Abstract:
- The author outlines that nowadays, the question of the influence of gender stereotypes on the role and participation of Kyrgyz women in politics, from a linguistic point of view, has been little studied in Kyrgyzstan. The article is devoted to the ethnocultural traditions and gender stereotypes of the Kyrgyz society that affect the activity and involvement of women in the political life of the state. The author pays attention to the role of Kyrgyz women in the history of the country, examines Kyrgyz proverbs and folk clichés, which are the folk heritage of the people. The purpose of the article is to identify ethnocultural factors that determine the gender roles of men and women, as well as their impact on society. Research methods. During the study a descriptive method was applied. The following folklore materials were taken as a basis: Kyrgyz proverbs from "Kyrgyz makal, lakap, uchkul sozdoru" by M. Ibragimov, traditional rules of relationships between people of different ages and genders, principles of youth upbringing. As a result of the analysis, the author concludes that the traditions and stereotypes of Kyrgyz society endow men and women with gender traditional roles: a man plays a major role in the family, in society and is engaged in “male affairs”, while a woman is assigned a secondary role, she only deals with home and family. It is emphasized that such attitudes largely limit the political activity of women.
