KAZAKH LANGUAGE AND BRITICISM

Abstract

The primary aim of this study is to investigate the recent lexical items in the modern Kazakh language that have been borrowed from English, as well as the methods of their dissemination and the contexts in which they are utilized within the language. The objectives of the study are to identify the scope of Briticisms in the Kazakh language, to analyze their semantic and structural features, and to evaluate their level of adaptation within the lexical system of the Kazakh language. The significance of this topic arises from the limited research conducted on English lexical borrowings, particularly regarding their quantity, content, scope, and the specific characteristics of their adaptation or assimilation into Kazakh. These phenomena are closely linked to the globalization processes observable at the lexical level across numerous languages, influenced by American and British cultures, and notably, the increasing incorporation of English terms into the Kazakh lexical framework. The sociolinguistic factors underlying these trends have not been thoroughly examined. Consequently, the systematization, unification, and standardization of Briticism are of paramount importance for the proper functioning of the literary norms of the Kazakh language.The theoretical value of this study is due to its results can be taken as a basis for the subsequent detailed consideration in Kazakh corpus other languages loanwords (English). The practical significance of the present research is that both teachers and students at universities where a humanities faculty exists, can utilize this study in Linguistics Department especially when teaching Lexicology or Terminology. It is quantitative as well as qualitative analysis which has been employed after data collection formed the way this piece of work happen and along with it content existed. To complete this study, we conducted a survey among first- to fourth-year students of Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University via an online platform, with a total of 215 participants. The analysis shows that Briticisms have become established in the Kazakh language over the past twenty years.
