THE PROBLEM OF THE STUDY OF SYNGARMONISM IN THE TURKIC LANGUAGES

SYNGARMONISM

Abstract

This article discusses the problem of studying synharmonism in Turkic languages, including Kazakh. Since the Turkic languages have a long character, the attention of researchers to the consonance of sounds was drawn early. The article analyzes the conclusions of Kazakh researchers together with foreign scientists. Based on the analysis, the nature of the law of consonance in the Kazakh language is revealed.

To date, many researchers argue that vowel harmony is only the consonance of vowel sounds. So this definition is given in school textbooks and scientific papers. In our article, we have given examples that show one of the types of synharmonism - the harmony of consonant sounds.

The theoretical views of scientists on vowel harmony in the Kazakh language are contradictory, so we gave preference to the conclusions of scientists who studied the phonetic structure of the Kazakh language experimentally.

We tried to prove that both the vowel and the consonant sound play an important role in the synharmonic language. Although some principles contradict our decisions, the opinion of the majority of scientists who have studied the structure and auditory nature of sounds and other speech units, phenomena and processes experimentally is consistent with the result of our research.
