ETHNOLINGUISTIC NATURE OF LINGUISTIC UNITS RELATED TO JEWELLERY ART

Abstract

The article attempts to study language units related to jewellery art in the Kazakh language. The article provides a brief overview of the study of the linguistic units and their classification. It also analyses ethnolinguistic meanings of a number of jewellery names used in later periods. In the course of the study, it was found that such issues as the names of ancient Kazakh jewellery, ethno-cultural aspects, the causes and consequences of their consumption are unknown to most students of higher educational institutions. Therefore, it is important to study these linguistic units from a comparative, contrastive and translational points of view, which make up a large part of the language fund. This is due to the fact that any jewellery has its own meaning, which remains unnoticed by the general public in the form, material and ornaments, and even in use. The study of such linguistic units helps to identify valuable information about the history, culture, worldview, position, and crafting of the nation. The methods used: descriptive, comparative, structural, as well as ethnolinguistic and semantic analysis. Descriptive method helped the authors to analyse such issues as the study, classification, types of linguistic units related to jewellery art in the Kazakh language. Comparative method helped to identify often and rarely used types of language units related to jewellery art and ways of their formation. Based on the structural method, the composition and structure of such linguistic units, the flexibility of phrase formation were determined. The semantic method was used in identifying such issues as the meaning of the names of jewellery, the scope of use, the use of a woman by age, while the ethnolinguistic method made it possible to analyse the origin, meaning, significance of each piece of jewellery and its role in the life of a woman.
