The language of “Divani-Fasahat” by Jamal Agha Dilbazi, The First part

Abstract

The study of individual written monuments is of great importance in terms of studying the centuries-old history of the Azerbaijani language. One of the important tasks facing the history of the language is to study the linguistic and stylistic, lexical, morphological and syntactic characteristics of these written monuments. In this regard, one of the most relevant problems is the study of morphological features in the “Divani-fasahet” of the 19th century poet Jamal agha Dilbazi, who made exceptional contributions to the development of the Azerbaijani literary language. The poet’s works are rich material for tracing the historical development of our literary and artistic language [9, p.3]. Thus, the general flow of the literary language has always been enriched and crystallized by being nourished by the source of the folk language [10, p.47].
The investigations show that the poet comprehensively understood the subtleties of the Azerbaijani language, its means of expression, highly valued the word, and felt its influence and power [9, p.12]. The artist and art in general are allies of Good. That is why it becomes a heritage, creates spiritual wealth and lives [2, p.4]. The language of the works of Jamal agha Dilbazi is rich in lexical and grammatical categories. The poet uses words with great skill and dexterity, and is able to use each word in its place and in different meanings [9, p.12].
The article presents to the reader the categories of case, possession, quantity and predicate, which were used in detail in the divan.
