PLANT NAMES USED IN PARALLEL IN AZERBAIJANI AND TURKISH LANGUAGES

Abstract

The article investigates plant names that are used in parallel in the Azerbaijani and Turkish languages. Azerbaijani and Turkish both belong to the Oghuz branch of the Turkic languages and share significant lexical similarities. Plant names hold a special place in the shared vocabulary of these two languages and are important indicators of lexical parallelism between them. Many plant names are phonetically and semantically identical or similar in both languages. The aim of the article is to identify the common or differing features of these parallel plant names. Regional characteristics and contact with other languages (Arabic, Persian, Russian, etc.) have played an important role in the development of various naming conventions.

The scientific novelty of the research lies in the systematic comparison of plant names used in parallel in Azerbaijani and Turkish. The comparative analysis of plant names is significant for understanding the historical development and cultural relations between the Azerbaijani and Turkish languages.
