HUNTING VOCABULARY AS A COMPONENT OF BASHKIR PROVERBS

Abstract

This layer of the lexical composition of the language dates back to the initial period of human history, because hunting, along with gathering, was the very first way of farming. In addition, hunting vocabulary is valuable material for anthropocentric research, where lexical units are considered in close connection with the thinking and culture of the people. Therefore, the study of hunting vocabulary within the framework of both the systemic-structural approach and the linguoculturological direction is relevant today due to the insufficient knowledge of this group of words in Bashkir linguistics. The etymology of hunting vocabulary is also of interest to linguists. Most of the lexemes go back to the original Bashkir words of Turkic origin, and there are also borrowed words. This article is devoted to the analysis of some lexemes from the sphere of “Hunting” as a component of Bashkir proverbs.
