Regionalisms as a Result of Cultural and Ethnic Contacts of Turkic-Speaking Peoples

The linguistic study of the problem of contact between peoples is interesting task of contemporary areal linguistics. The problem of areal contact of peoples has recently become the subject of special study of linguists. In the past, mutual influences between languages were mainly limited to external borrowings that did not affect the essence of languages. The research aims to conduct a comparative-historical study of the functional-stylistic and semantic features of borrowings in the Turkic languages; produce a conceptual-thematic and historical-etymological classification of the studied layer of vocabulary; and clarify the existing classifications of regionalisms on specific theoretical and factual materials. The proposed research will provide theoretical and practical assistance in studying the culture and linguistic characteristics of the peoples of Central Asia and their common dialects. The work can be used in the development of such general linguistic problems as comparative lexicology, linguistic contact theory, borrowed and native language fund, etc., as well as in the study of stylistics, speech culture, history and mixing of languages, psycholinguistics, etc. From a theoretical and practical point of view, this research can be useful when studying the languages of the Central Asian region or compiling etymological, explanatory, and other dictionaries by lexicographers.
