Historical development of the noun number category in Armenian-Qypchak written monuments

Abstract

In the modern public life of Kazakhstan, it is important to focus on the valuable facts accumulated
in the depths of history. It is known that the rich heritage of the Kipchaks, who created the state of DeshtQypchaks in the expanses of Eurasia in the Middle Ages and contributed to world civilization and culture, was
written in different alphabets at different stages. The heritage written in the Qypchak language with Armenian
graphics is based on religion, literature, history, law, philosophy, and natural sciences and covers political,
economic, historical, and cultural spheres of life. Since the 20th century, the Armenian-Qypchak heritage, which
has become the subject of close study by scientists, has been published in foreign publications, transcribed, and
updated with dictionaries and translations. On the part of scientists, there were various scientific judgments
and views, and the term «Armenian-Qypchak» was introduced into science, which was based on the study of
life and life, and cultural ties between the Qipchaks and Armenians in the Middle Ages. Today there is a need
for a deeper study of the linguistic features of the Armenian-Qypchak heritage written in this large-scale genre.
The question of the number category belongs to the category of topical and controversial issues in the
theoretical grammar of the Turkic languages, as evidenced by the abundance of works on this problem that
have accumulated over many decades. The study of this grammatical category is closely related to the history
of the study of Turkic languages and has ancient traditions. The article deals with the affixes of the category of
the number of nouns at the level of the Turkic proto-language, as well as affixes in the monuments of the middle
ages, Armenian-Qypchak monuments. The article was written within the framework of the scientific project
AP13068438 «Universal and special in the language of the Armenian-Qypchak monuments».
