“Devonu lug‘oti-t-turk”dagi ot bilan bog‘liq leksika va maqollar

Abstract

The language reflects all elements of cultural identity, encompassing
people's lifestyle, worldview, spiritual values, beliefs, and their
attitudes toward certain phenomena. Throughout history, animals have
played a significant role in human life. Therefore, in almost all languages,
words related to animals are actively used. When examining the vocabulary
richness of Turkic languages, it is evident that there is a large number of
linguistic units related to animals. Mahmud al-Kashgari’s Dīwān Lughāt
al-Turk not only captures the way of life, customs, and culture of Turkic
peoples but also contains a wealth of information about social life, including
numerous references to animals of great importance to Turkic societies —
particularly horses. In addition, some proverbs containing the component
“horse” are provided and explained in the commentary of certain words.
This article discusses the words and proverbs related to the horse found in
Dīwān Lughāt al-Turk.
People's lifestyle, worldview, spiritual values, beliefs, and attitude
to certain events are reflected in language, which encompasses all
elements of cultural identity. Throughout history, animals have played a
very important role in human life. Therefore, words related to animals are
actively used in almost all languages.
