Abstract:

This article explores the derivational suffixes found in Kutadgu Bilig and their

equivalents in the Kazakh language. The primary aim of the study is to analyze how these historical
affixes function in the context of the Old Turkic language and how similar structures are used in
modern Kazakh. The research is based on a comparative and descriptive method, focusing on semantic
and structural parallels. The study also highlights the cultural and linguistic continuity within Turkic
languages, demonstrating the preservation and transformation of suffixes across centuries. This
analysis contributes to a deeper understanding of the historical development of the Kazakh language
and its connection to classical Turkic heritage.

Keywords:

Kutadgu Bilig, derivational suffixes, Kazakh language, Old Turkic, comparative

analysis.


Introduction.

The study of historical Turkic texts plays a significant role in understanding the

development of modern Turkic languages, particularly Kazakh. One of the most prominent works of
Old Turkic literature is Kutadgu Bilig, written by Yusuf Khass Hajib in the 11th century. This literary
masterpiece not only reflects the sociopolitical and ethical values of the Karakhanid period but also
serves as a rich linguistic resource that contains numerous examples of derivational suffixes.

In Turkic linguistics, derivational suffixes are essential in word formation and semantic

expansion. Through suffixation, new nouns, adjectives, and verbs are derived, enabling a deeper
exploration of language structure and function. The aim of this paper is to examine the derivational
suffixes found in Kutadgu Bilig and compare them with their modern Kazakh equivalents. Such

comparison sheds light on the diachronic development of word formation in the Turkic language
family and helps preserve the linguistic heritage of the Kazakh people.

The research employs a comparative-descriptive method to identify structural and semantic

parallels between the suffixes used in the 11th century and those present in contemporary Kazakh.
The relevance of this study lies in its contribution to historical linguistics, as well as its potential to
support language education and identity through deeper understanding of etymological roots.

Theoretical Background

The study of Kutadgu Bilig has attracted the attention of numerous scholars in the fields of

Turkology and historical linguistics. As a work composed in the Karakhanid period, it provides
valuable insight into the lexical, morphological, and syntactic features of Old Turkic. Scholars such
as Radloff, Dankoff, and Erdal have emphasized the importance of this text not only as a political and
ethical guide but also as a linguistic reference point for Turkic languages.

One of the key areas of linguistic interest in Kutadgu Bilig is the system of derivational

suffixes, which play a vital role in word formation. These suffixes allow for the creation of nouns,
verbs, adjectives, and adverbs, and reflect a systematic approach to the development of meaning. In
modern Kazakh, many of these suffixes have either been preserved or transformed, offering a direct
link to the language’s historical roots.

The theoretical foundation for this study is based on the morphological approach to language

analysis, particularly the theory of derivation in agglutinative languages. According to this theory,
suffixes are used to expand the semantic scope of root words without altering their core meaning. This
approach enables the tracing of suffix evolution from Old Turkic to modern Kazakh, establishing a
linguistic continuum within the Turkic language family.

Previous studies have largely focused on the grammatical and syntactic aspects of Kutadgu

Bilig, but fewer have conducted a detailed comparison of its derivational morphology with modern
Turkic languages. This study aims to fill that gap by focusing specifically on derivational suffixes and
their Kazakh counterparts.

Analysis.

This section presents a comparative analysis of selected derivational suffixes found

in Kutadgu Bilig and their equivalents in the modern Kazakh language. Each suffix is examined in
terms of its morphological structure, function, and meaning.

1. –lig / –lıq / –lik / –lük

This suffix, widely used in Kutadgu Bilig, is a typical adjective-forming suffix that adds the

meaning of “having” or “possessing” a certain quality.

Example:

bilgülig

– ‘knowledgeable’ (bilgü – knowledge + lig)

Kazakh equivalent:

білімді (білім + -ді)

Both suffixes serve a similar function by forming adjectives that describe a person with a

particular quality.

2. –sız / –siz / –sus / –süs

This is a negative suffix indicating absence or lack of something.
Example:

aŋsız

– ‘unconscious, ignorant’ (aŋ – understanding + sız)

Kazakh equivalent:

ақылсыз (ақыл + -сыз)

The suffix -сыз is directly preserved in Kazakh and functions in exactly the same way, which

indicates strong historical continuity.

3. –çı / –çi / –çu / –çü

This is a productive agentive suffix used to denote professions or people associated with a

certain action.

Example:

balçı

– ‘honey maker’ (bal – honey + çı)

Kazakh equivalent:

балшы

In Kazakh, this suffix is also widely used to denote occupations, such as аңшы (hunter),

балықшы (fisherman), etc.

4. –lı / –li / –lu / –lü

This suffix forms adjectives and nouns indicating possession or relation.
Example:

köngüllü

– ‘willing, with heart’ (köngül – heart + lü)

Kazakh equivalent:

көңілді

The Kazakh -ді / -ты / -лі suffixes are context-dependent but share the same semantic function

— to express possession of a quality.

These examples illustrate that many derivational suffixes used in Kutadgu Bilig have survived

in modern Kazakh with minimal phonological change. Their function remains largely the same, which
is a testament to the stability of Turkic morphological structures over time. This linguistic continuity
emphasizes the deeprooted connections between Old Turkic and modern Kazakh, highlighting the
relevance of historical texts in understanding present-day language dynamics.

Conclusion.

тIn conclusion, the comparative analysis of derivational suffixes in Kutadgu Bilig

and modern Kazakh highlights the rich historical continuity within the Turkic language family. The
study has demonstrated that many of the affixes used in this 11th-century text are still present in
Kazakh, albeit with some phonological and morphological adaptations. These suffixes serve
fundamental roles in word formation, creating adjectives, nouns, and verbs that expand the meaning
of root words and reflect the underlying structure of the language.

Through this analysis, it is evident that the preservation of these suffixes over centuries

underscores the enduring connection between the historical Turkic language and its modern variants.
The similarities between Old Turkic and Kazakh affixation patterns are a testament to the linguistic
resilience and cultural continuity that have shaped the Kazakh language.

This research not only contributes to the field of historical linguistics but also reinforces the

importance of studying classical Turkic texts for understanding the evolution of modern Turkic
languages. Furthermore, it highlights the necessity of preserving linguistic heritage in the context of
cultural identity, as the transformation of these derivational elements reflects the dynamic nature of
language in a historical context.
