Abstract

The present article aims to study the modal words in Turkic and Kazakh languages. The importance of the research topic is explained by the fact that language is a necessary means of communication and influencing people on their activities and behaviors. Determining the category of modality has been done relying on the materialist theory of language. The authors support the position of linguists like Vinogradov that every sentence contains a message about reality and the speaker’s attitude towards it. Therefore, the current study’s fundamental methodological notion is that each sentence has an element of modality. As mentioned above, the ideal attributes to modality’s emotional expression such as surprise, indignation, and joy. The comparative method for Turkic and Kazakh languages concerning modality description was widely applied. The modality features in a sentence were determined, a general analysis of the modality in the sentence was done, and the means of expression of modality was specified. Modal words in the Kazakh language, by their nature of use and in Turkic languages, are very diverse and multifaceted. It is clear from linguistic facts that they can be used as synonyms for each other. They are also different in form. The study may be used by philologists and anyone interested in modality specifically within the Turkic and Kazakh language paradigm or/and other languages. Such research was first performed concerning the Turkic and Kazakh languages.

Keywords: Kazakh language, modality, modal words, moods, sentence, the Turkic language
