Language picture of children's world illustrated in “divanu lugat-it turk”

Abstract

This article explores the language picture of the World and its varieties, the role of children's world picture and the features of its study. Also, special attention is paid to the Turkic children's worldview of the 11th century, set forth in the famous "Divan" by Mahmoud Kashgary. Some comments are given on the analysis of the concept of "children's world picture ". From this stage, the child's own language picture begins to wane, that is, at first the imaginary, mythological, sentimental concepts and related frames leave the child's thinking and gradually take over the world. Hence, the linguocultural and linguocognitive features of LPCHW presented in “Divanu Lugat-it Turk”require a special research to summarize data within linguocultural concepts and identify key parameters and components. We have tried to focus onlyon some of the features of this issue in our research. At the same time, linguistics is closely related to the generally accepted language and thinking, and the parameters such as age, gender, beliefs, education, knowledge and understanding of the world are exactly the “national consciousness” in the formation of LPW. This process involves theimportant factors as “national thinking”, “national idea”, “national culture”, “national mentality” and “national character”. One issue that plays an important role in shaping the LPW in the child's language and thinking is the problem of "monolingualism and multilingualism" in the family or community. It is well known that in the 11th century Turkic peoples spoke a monolanguage in the family and in the community (except for the cities of Turkic-Sogdian bilingualism).
