Abstract:

The Gulistan Tercumesi (Gulistan bi’t-turki) written by Sayf-i Sarayi at the beginning of the 14th century is one of the most important literary monuments belonging to Old Kipchak Language. The lexicological comparison between this text, which represents the central literary language of the Golden Horde Empire, and modern Kipchak written languages, results in remarkable outcomes. Delimited by verbs, the lexicon of Gulistan Tercumesi has been compared with the lexicons of the three members of the Present Kipchak Languages, Karachay-Balkar, Bashkir and Tatar. In this study, the verbs of the Gulistan Tercumesi and the three present Kipchak written languages have been compared thru Russian equivalents to follow semantic details according to specific criterions; the outcomes have been obtained.
