LINGUISTIC SPECIFICS OF ABAI KUNANBAYEV'S POEM "MASGUD" FROM THE RESEARCH OF M. MYRZAKHMETOVICH

Abstract

With his poetry, Abai elevated Kazakh fiction to invaluable heights, and also made a great
contribution to the development and formation of the literary language. He was one of the founders of the
Kazakh language of written literature. It was customary for poets before Abai and under Abai to use old
Arabic and Persian words, to mix them with the Kazakh word. Later, Russian words intervened. Abai wrote
the main works in the pure Kazakh national language, without using many words of foreign languages. The
language has updated and enriched the meaning of the word. "The razor tongue," as he himself says, is cut
and cut by folk samples of the word.
