Grammaticalization of word forms in the English and Kazakh languages

Abstract

This scientific article explores the process of grammaticalization of word forms in English and Kazakh languages. Grammarization refers to the mechanisms of language change, when lexical units acquire a grammatical function and become part of the language system. The purpose of this study is to identify similarities and differences in the grammaticalization of word forms in these two languages. The article begins with an overview of the concept of grammaticalization and its main features. Then a comparative
analysis of the processes of grammaticalization in the English and Kazakh languages is carried out. Examples of various word forms are considered, such as pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions and others, which have undergone grammaticalization in both languages. In the future, the role of semantics, phonetic changes and contextual factors in the process of grammaticalization of word forms is explored. The features of grammaticalization in English and Kazakh languages are analyzed, including typical trajectories of
development of word forms and mechanisms of their grammatical variability. At the end of the article, the main conclusions of the study are summarized. It is revealed that English and Kazakh languages have similarities in the processes of grammaticalization of word forms, but there are also differences in the trajectories of their development. The study offers a new look at the grammaticalization of word forms and expands the understanding of this process in the English and Kazakh languages.
