STRUCTURAL AND SEM TURAL AND SEMANTIC ANALYSIS OF COPUL SIS OF COPULATIVE COMPOUND WORDS IN THE P COMPOUND WORDS IN THE PASHTO LANGUAGE

Abstract

The question of word formation, particularly the studying the ways of copulative compound words’ formation based on modern methods, remains contemporary linguistics’ one of the urgent problems. The relevance of this issue is increasing, especially for less-studied languages such as the Pashto language, since the language’s vocabulary is constantly enriching under modern requirements. Since the lexical fund of language is dynamic, it is always essential to study the processes synchronously. English, Russian, Afghan and Uzbek linguists have carried out several works on the grammar of the Pashto language on various topics. But it is hard to find a place where you can stop on copulative compound words. In this paper, a comprehensive study of the structure and semantics of copulative compound words formed using part of the speech of verbs in the Pashto language, which is part of the Iranian group of languages of the Indo-European language family, is carried out. This scientific article is devoted to copulative compound words in Pashto using forms ‘noun + verb, verb + verb’, and mixed verb forms. Also, this research work allows determining the place and function of copulative compound words in the lexical layer, to correctly understand their content and essence. During the analysis, copulative compound words composed by the parts of the verb’s speech were studied in groups. The purpose of the research is the structural and lexical analysis of copulative compound words in the Pashto language formed with the help of verbs. In this research work, copulative compound words related to the part of speeches of the verb in the Pashto language have expressed, its features characteristic only for this language, its subtleties. The article also analyzed copulatively compound words based on analytical and synthetic methods. In this article, the question is in a specific form of the copulative compound words consisting of noun + verb, verb + verb, and verb forms of the mixed type, defined as a subject of study and the materials of the modern Pashto language as an object of study. The scientific novelty of the work expresses in these issues.
