COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE CATEGORY OF PLURALITY IN BASHKIR AND KYRGYZ LANGUAGES

Abstract

The article presents a comparative study of the features of the number category of the Bashkir and Kyrgyz languages. Being characteristic of all languages of the peoples of the world, the category of numbers as an object of scientific research has attracted and continues to attract the attention of both foreign and Russian authors not only in the field of linguistics, but also in the field of philosophy, mathematics, logic, etc. There is a fairly extensive literature devoted to the peculiarities of this category, including in the comparative aspect in Turkic linguistics. Most of the research in this area focuses on a comparative analysis of the grammar of a particular Turkic language with the Russian language. Works based on the comparison of grammars of the Turkic languages proper are much less common, which, in particular, also applies to grammars of the Bashkir and Kyrgyz languages. The comparative analysis reveals common and specific features of the number category in Bashkir and Kyrgyz linguistics.
