Abstract

Periodic study of pronouns in the Uzbek language, comparing their forms in ancient written monuments with their modern forms, is one of the main goals of our topic. In the article, the phonetic, semantic, lexical meanings, number and agreement categories of the reflexive pronoun and its forms and characteristics in ancient Turkic language monuments, its function in the sentence were studied, compared and analyzed through examples. Changes in the historical development of each language primarily affect its lexicon and vocabulary. We focus on pronouns because despite constituting only a tiny fraction of the available words in the English language, they are among the most frequently used (Pennebaker, 2011). Furthermore, extensive research has established that pronouns play a fundamental role in people’s everyday experiences.

with their modern forms, is one of the main goals of
our topic.

It became clear from our research materials that the
linguist separately analyzed the synonymy, homonymy
and

grammatical

categories

of

personal,

demonstrative, interrogative, personal pronouns in the
ancient Turkic language.

Literature Review

Above, we consider the study of the historical
development of pronouns in three stages. In the 1st
stage, we will analyze the pronouns from ancient
written monuments (IV-X centuries) to the Middle

Ages. Our research shows that S.Mutallibov paid
special attention to the variants of pronouns in Oghuz,
Kipchak, and Qarluq dialects.

M. Koshgari used the comparative method to describe
the construction of Turkic languages and became one
of the founders of the comparative-historical method
in linguistics.

The work consists of three volumes and was published
in Istanbul in 1915-1917. The same publication Karl
Brockelmann published this work in German
translation in 1929 under the name "Medieval Turkish
Dictionary" ("Mitteltürkischer Wortschatz").

In 1939, it was published in Turkish in Ankara,
translated by Basim Atalay. Scientist S.Mutallibov
worked effectively on the translation of the Devan and
published it in Uzbek in three volumes during 1960-
1963.

The work of M. Koshgari consists of an introduction
and a glossary. In the introduction, the author
describes the reasons for the creation of "Devon", his
work style, the structure of the work, the letters used
in the structure of Turkish words, what is said and what
is not said in the book, the description of Turkic classes

and tribes, the characteristics of the Turkish language,
language and dialects. reflects on the differences.

The famous linguist Jamaluddin Muhammad Abdullah
Turki has a special place in the development of ancient
Turkic linguistics. His work "Kitobulugat al mushtaq fi
lug'at it turk wo qafchaq" ("A book of interest to the
Mushtaqs of Turkic and Kipchak languages"), written
around the 13th-14th centuries, is devoted to the
comparison of Arabic, Persian, Turkish, and Mongolian
languages. This work serves as a valuable source for

studying the historical development of Turkish
languages.

II stage. In the formation and development of old
Uzbek linguistics, the linguistic views and works of the
great thinker poet Alisher Navoi, Zahiriddin Babur,
Aloyi Binni Muhibi, Mirzo Mehdikhan, Ishaqkhan Ibrat
are important for the classification of pronouns.

By the end of the 19th century, as a result of the need
to study the culture, customs and language of the local
people of the Russian invaders, several grammars of
practical importance were created in Uzbek linguistics.
"Grammar of the Turkish, Persian, Kyrgyz and Uzbek
languages" (1875) by M. ATerentyev, "A companion of
Ruskish in Central Asia" (1878) by A. Starlevsky,
"Language of Sort" by Z. A. Aleksev and V.
Vishnegorsky for learners" (1884), M. Andreyev's
"Guide for first-time learners of Sort language" (1896),
F. Mashkovsev's "Sort language lessons" (1899), V.P.
Nalivkin's "Practical study of Sort language "A study
guide" (1898), N. Budzinsky's "Sort language
textbook" (1910) can be cited as an example.

III stage. As a literal science, Uzbek linguistics began to
take shape in the 20s and 30s of the 20th century and
reached one of its highest peaks by the end of this
century.

Abdurauf Fitrat, Ghazi Olirn Yunusov, Ulug' Tursunov,
YE.D. Polivanov, Qayum Ramazon, Fakhri Karaolov and

Ayub Ghulomov contributed greatly to the formation
of Uzbek linguistics in the 20th century.

RESULTS

In ancient manuscripts of the 7th-8th centuries, the
pronoun denoting the singularity of the speaker
(personal pronoun) appears as bän ben (I) in blue
Turkish inscriptions, män, män or min (I) in monuments
with Uyghur and Moni writing. Plural pronoun

we

(biz), which denotes you (siz) one listener or many
listeners, he/she/it-ol, and for they- olar, ular, anlar
which denotes another person, and ole, which denotes
other people the form of olul ,ul (he/she), which means
one person, is used when it is formed with conjugation
suffixes, such as departure, meaning, a, anda.(him,
her) In the modern Uzbek language, when the pronoun
u (he, she) is combined with the conjunctions of
departure, place, and exit, the consonant -n is formed;
(unga, unda) to him. These were used in the old Uzbek
language (Chigatai Turkic) in the form of ana, andin
(him, from him). However, the -n between the stem
and the suffix is not a suffix. It is a remnant of the case
of the personal pronoun used with the suffix - ning Old
Turkic: u-n-da (<a-nin-din//a-nin from him (<a-nin-da), u-
undan (from him)

In the old Turkic language, personal pronouns are
found in two forms: öz (self) and kentü kendü. Öz
actually means "soul". It also means "person,
somediv, people".

Mahmud az-Zamakhshari, who added priceless
masterpieces to the treasury of scientific science, has a
unique place in ancient Turkic linguistics.

As a great linguist, Zamakhshari is a scientist who made
a great contribution to the development of Arabic
linguistics. However, special attention is paid to Turkish

words in his dictionaries, which reflect the lexicon of
the Turkish literary language of Central Asia of the 12th-
13th centuries. For example, in "Kutadgu Bilig":

Munar menzätü keldi emdi bu söz,

Esitkil munï sen, aya esgü öz

Now the corresponding word is: This was clearly stated
by the brave man. Listen to this, O good man. In "Irq
Bitigi": özün uzun bolzun the meaning of "Live a long
life" is: May your life be long In "Irq Bitigi": meaning:
May your life be long (umring uzun bo'lsin) (IB, 47). In
written monuments, kântü and öz (self) pronouns can
be used in pairs, meaning "myself". For example

K(ä)ntü özümüzni küntä ayda öŋibiz tidimiz ärsär.

Meaning: “we beat ourselves and suffer”: (o'zimizni

urib, azoblanamiz (QB. 139-140). Demonstrative

pronouns in the work: bu, ol, ošbu ušbu, šul, ošu, ošul

Ayiğ qilinčqa ančükä käntü özümüzni ämgätir

-biz

Meaning: Being alert helps us. (Hushyor bo‘lish bizga

yordam beradi)

This demonstrative pronoun takes the form of mu-
under the influence of the sonor in the suffix when it is
formed with diffraction suffixes. For example this
(muni, mundin mundun). The variation of this
demonstrative pronoun is as follows: Singular: bu; buni
(this); muni; bunun munun; muna, bunar munar; anda,
munda, munda, muntada, muntuda; mundina
Pluralform: bular; bularni; (these; these); bularnin;
bularqa; bularda; bulardin (of these; to these; in these;
this) is great; when the demonstrative pronoun
bulardin is modified, it takes the form an-,

dan, from:

anug, andin andan.

Interrogative pronouns: for people who? (kim?),
things-items, for events-

events nača?, na?, nekü?,

nelüg?, nekülüg?, nečük?, nečüke? what? galt? (how,

how often?), kayu? (which?), qani? qanta? qantan?

qanta? qačan? (where?) qayu?, qani?, qanta?, qantan?,

q

anča?, qačan? (how much? When?) pronouns are

used. Among these năča?, nă? nekül?, nelig?, nekülüg?,
nečük?, nečükin?, nädä? All of the pronouns are nä ne?

(Why) made from what?, where?, how much?, how
much?, how much?, when? Pronouns also have the
same root - kayu kanu? (Where?)is connected to when

the pronoun is made from kai+čağ+ïn.

Indefinitive pronouns: qamuğ qamağ (all), qamağı (all

of), bari (all). Yodgorliklar tilida nän (no, no one) is used
as pronoun in the language of monuments.

7500 words in «Devonu lug'otit turk» are

explained in eight sections in the dictionary part

More than 40 pronouns are explained in the work. We
will analyze some of them below:

CONCLUSION

Based on our research, we can say that the Uzbek
language has undergone phonetic, lexical, and
semantic changes in the words of its vocabulary with
the progress of science and technology, such as

ɵ

- o',

ň

-ng, It has been proved on the basis of the above-

mentioned sources that the sounds e-

ə

, u-i have

changed to the appearance, and the personal-number
suffix -man has changed to the form. The fact that the
obsolete forms of some pronouns in our language are
still used in the language of the Turkic peoples, the
historical coexistence of brotherly peoples, the
proximity of customs and cultures indicate that they
used a common language in the most ancient times.
