THE USE OF ONOMASTIC LEXEMES IN AHMADI'S “CEMŞİT VE HURŞİT” MASNAVI

Abstract

The in-depth study of onomastic vocabulary, which has a special place in the vocabulary of Turkic languages, plays an important role in the study of ethnic and linguistic relations, historical events and intercultural relations. Since Turkic languages are spread over a wide geography, the onomastic elements of these languages also reflect cultural, historical and geographical diversity. The 15th century Oghuz monument “Jamshid and Khurshid” has a rich and colorful onomastic dictionary. The diversity of toponyms, anthroponyms, hydronyms, anthroponyms, zoonyms, kosmonyms and ethnonyms in the vocabulary of the work draws attention. The article examines the anthroponyms, toponyms, and zoonyms used in the language of the “Jamshid and Khurshid” masnavi by Taceddin Ahmad, a prominent representative of Oghuz Turkish.
