THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF TURKISH LEXICOGRAPHY

Abstract

Тhe study of the history of Turkic lexicography allows us to preserve the nature of the Turkic language, accurately reflect the lexical and grammatical phenomena of the Turkic languages, and create high-quality dictionaries aimed at meeting the needs of the linguistic environment. The compilation of dictionaries of different types among the Turkic languages requires, first of all, the study of the historical formation of the field of lexicography of different Turkic languages, the generalization of their achievements, the formation on their basis of the theoretical and methodological basis of the scientific-theoretical and conceptual-subject base of comparative Turkic lexicography.

         The history of the development of Turkic lexicography, since the XI century, can be divided into four stages, which have their own peculiarities in methodological, practical and scientific-theoretical terms: 1) Turkic lexicography of the XI-XI century; 2) Turkic lexicography of the XII-XIX centuries; 3) Turkic lexicography of the XX century; 4) Turkic lexicography of the XXI century. The third period is an intensively developing period of Turkic lexicography. At this stage, the problem of word formation was scientifically-theoretically and methodologically justified and acquired a systemic character.

The article deals with the main problems of the theory of General lexicography, including the theoretical foundations of Turkic lexicography.  A systematic study of the theory of lexicography has been carried out, and the analysis of the works be the scientists who considered lexicography, including Turkic, as a separate subject. The article also deals with a comparative thesaurus of Turkic languages.
