FROM HISTORY OF STUDYING TERMS OF FOLK DANCES IN TURKIC LANGUAGES

Abstract

The article deals with terms of folk dances of the Bashkirs, Kazakhs, Kirghiz in the aspect of Turkic lexicology. The Turkic peoples and their languages, being related, have similar and distinctive features in the vocabulary of dances. Insufficient knowledge of the dance terminological system of the Turkic peoples determines the relevance of this work. Of course, dance art is reflected in all languages, since it is a universal phenomenon. National dances are studied from the point of view of history, folklore, ethnography, cultural studies and art history, however, there is a lack of attention to this problem on the part of linguists, in particular, in the field of lexicology and word formation. The analysis of the theoretical material shows that the terminological system of the folk dance of the Bashkir, Kazakh and Kyrgyz languages has developed consistently, undergoing a rapid cultural and national development since the 1930s of the XX century. This layer of vocabulary by linguists-linguists is considered partially (Bashkir, language) or not studied at all (Kazakh, Kyrgyz languages).
