Comparative Analysis of Morphological Peculiarities and Level of Usage of Coordinative Compound Adverbs in the Tajik Literary Language Appertaining to 18th-19th Centuries (on the example of historical writings referred to as “Tuhfat-ul-khoni” and “Zafar Name” by Khusravi)

Abstract

The article under consideration dwells on the issue beset with comparative analysis of morphological peculiarities and the level of usage of coordinative compound adverbs (CCAs) on the example of the historical production entitled as “Tuhfat-ul-khani” by Muhammadwafoi Karminagi and “Zafar Name” by Khusravi. The author of the article makes an endeavor to divide CCAs into several sub-groups in terms of their structure and meanings. It is worth stating that one of the most common ways of formation of CCAs in the corpus of our study is reduplication of parts of speech. It is proven that reduplication of Arabic original nouns is more frequently used than Tajik ones in the language of historical writings of the compared periods, upon the whole. It is underscored that reduplication of adjectives and numerals is not used to compose CCAs and reduplication of pronouns and verbs is encountered rarely in the corpus of the study. Adducing the result of a comparative analysis beset with CCAs of “Tuhfat-ul-khani” by Muhammadwafoi Karminagi and “Zafar Name” by Khusravi one can come to the conclusion that in terms of structure and grammatical style they are similar to the correlative works and to MTLL ones.
