Some Terms Specific To The Everyday Lexicon In The Work “Nahj Al-Faradis

Abstract

The national values and worldview of every people are reflected in historical monuments and cultural relics, including literary-historical sources. Therefore, studying the manuscripts of masterpiece works that are not yet well known to the wider public, determining their scholarly and spiritual-ethical value, and—by examining the language of the work linguistically—revealing its true content and artistic features are among the important tasks of philology. The language of historical-artistic sources helps to understand the content and practical significance of classical works, while also making it possible to observe the phonetic, lexical, and grammatical development processes of the language of the period in which the work was created. Taking this into account, this article offers a linguistic analysis of certain lexemes belonging to the everyday (household) lexicon used in Mahmud ibn Ali as-Saroyi’s Nahjul-farodis (“The Open Path to the Paradises”), one of the 14th-century Old Turkic works, in particular some words denoting household items.
