Description

This study examines the problem of the origin of the Turkic ethnic groups on the material of the common Turkic and Kazakh ethnic systems. A parallel study of the ethnic and ethnonymic systems is aimed at identifying the specific features of the formation of these systems. This problem is examined from the perspective of pantopochrony. Such an approach helps to determine the unique features of the genesis of the Turkic peoples. Alongside this, a comparative study of the common Turkic and Kazakh ethnic and ethnonymic systems made it possible to offer an original interpretation of the specific features of the development of the Turkic ethnic system as well. A historical-linguistic analysis of ancient common Turkic and Kazakh ethnonyms from the standpoint of typological universals in ethnonymy, and a study of the phono-morphological structure of ancient ethnic names, opened the way to a scholarly etymology. The work proposes a new method for the etymologization and determination of the original semantics of ancient ethnonyms with an obscured etymology and lost semantics. This became possible thanks to the use, in the course of the research, of the latest achievements of the humanities. The book will be of interest to Turkologists, historians, ethnographers and all scholars in the humanities.
