Abstract

The article is devoted to the most important indicators of the alteration of Turkic borrowing in English is their allocation in different dictionaries of English (explanatory, etymological, phraseological), as well as their use in different works of fiction. Linguistic contacts manifest themselves in the interaction of linguistic, cultural and historical factors and represent an essential process in intercultural communication. Turkic lexical elements, actively used in various languages as a language mechanism, require special attention. A comparison of different languages shows that borrowing is a universal fact of language, the linguistic essence of which allows determining the absolute or relative chronology of their entry into the system of different languages. Turkisms closely related to the lexico-semantic system of the recipient language expands the body of language units of English and other languages, indicating the paths of penetration and the degree of adaptation. This considers the patterns of lexical and phonetic potential of the language. Turkic borrowing includes not only Turkic words but also lexical elements of Arabic and Mongolian, Persian, Tatar, Uzbek, Kazakh origin,
which have penetrated English through many Turkic languages and have been reflected in English lexicographic sources. Turkism thus refers to words included in English from Turkic languages or through Turkic speeches regardless of the source of the mutual relationship, i.e. words having a Turkic stage in their history.
