DECLENSION OF NOUNS IN THE KUMYK LANGUAGE

Abstract

The article highlights declension of nouns in the Kumyk language. Nouns in the sentence appear in the forms of various cases. The case is a form of the noun that occurs in a sentence and is determined by the syntactic relations of this word to other words in the sentence. When describing the declension category in the Kumyk language, the question arises about the names of cases, which are designated by different terms in the works of Turkologists. The authors conclude that the thesis of a single type of Turkic declension currently requires certain refinements both in the classification, interlingual aspect, and especially in terms of structural relations within almost any particular Turkic language. Further clarifications, if necessary, are related to the comprehension of the nature of declension, based on the specifics of the Turkic languages.
