Changes in the understanding of Education have led to the emergence of new approaches to teaching, strategies for teaching teachers, tools, methods and techniques. The purpose of this study is to ...evaluate the preparation of Kazakh novels for a book with electronic additions from the point of view of teachers and students. This study is based on high-quality research models, real scientific models. To collect data, the researcher created a semi-structured type of interview with the teacher and a semi-structured type of interview with the student. Study participants include 25 literature teachers from Almaty and Kazakhstan secondary schools and 122 students from various secondary schools. The study was conducted in the 2020-2021 academic year. As a result of the study, part of reading Kazakh novels in print or electronic form was evaluated, and it was noted that the teacher likes printed stories. The results of students ' responses also show that reading printed Kazakh stories is higher than reading electronic Kazakh teaching.
The study investigates Kazakh-Russian and Russian-Kazakh code switching in the framework of hybrid language practice to provide insights into the sense-making process among bilinguals. The unique ...characteristics of the synchronic linguistic situation in Kazakhstan stem from historically rooted ethnic bi- and multilingualism. Language switching has evolved into a tool for addressing communicative partners and sustaining communication in bilingual culture, rather than being viewed as a deviant pattern. It appears to be a dynamic resource for ensuring mutual understanding and harmonised communication. The study aims to reveal the motivations behind individuals’ language switching, how Kazakh and Russian speakers explain hybrid communication, and their sentiments towards it. Data from two surveys conducted in January-February of 2021 and January of 2024 are presented. Each survey involved 50 respondents with higher education, ranging in age from 21 to 40, who have resided in Kazakhstan for an extended period, with many being native-born residents. We argue that switching between the Kazakh and Russian languages serves as a communicative tool utilised by Kazakh and Russian speakers to signify their belonging to a specific sociocultural community. The study posits that hybrid language practice can be viewed from two underlying perspectives: from a ‘deficit’ perspective, signalling limited proficiency in Russian or/and Kazakh, and from a more complex sense-making communicative perspective, assisting interaction. As part of the sense-making process and in sustaining interaction with communication partners, code switching serves an instrumental function. Importantly, hybrid language practice is not portrayed as a sign of cultural decline. There is no strong correlation between the mixing of Russian and Kazakh and social, cultural, and educational barriers. Further implications for research are prompted by the rapidly changing situation. The development of the Kazakh language as a state language is becoming a major goal and central focus in this evolving context, which inevitably raises the issues of linguistic ideology. Distinguishing between ideologically neutral analysis and critical analysis of language use as a tool of symbolic power for specific social groups would provide a more gradient picture of the dynamics in Kazakhstan’s bi- and multilingual situation.
The significance and relevance of the issues are predetermined by the fact, that, by the time of Shakarim Kudaiberdiev’s activity, the political and social situation of Kazakhstan in the early 20th ...century was on the verge of collapse. The main factor that influenced this situation was the policy of spreading illiteracy, people alienated from religion language, and writing. From the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Kazakhstan suffered from the colonial policies of the Russian Empire. Currently Kudaiberdiev writes a work “Catechism of Muslims”. The main purpose of the study is to analyze the consequences of the creative work on the economic and spiritual and cultural development of Kazakhstan. During the analysis, several scientific sources and materials were analyzed, and the following scientific methods were used: structural-functional and dialectical methods, the method of synthesis, logical and comparative analysis, and the method of generalization. During the research, it was proved that in the works of Shakarim Kudaiberdiev the calls to fight against the policy of tsarist Russia and to revive their language, customs, religion, and history were present. The main result of this research is proof that the works of Shakarim Kudaiberdiev had a tremendous impact on the social status, culture, religion, and language of the Kazakh people. His works acted in opposition to Russian policy and encouraged people who were tired of colonial oppression. The research on this issue is actively developed, therefore this work is of practical value for the definition of the role of Shakarim’s creativity during the economic, cultural, social, and political development of Kazakhstan at the end of 19 – the beginning of 20 century.
The genetic structure of three Kazakh sheep breeds was examined by using 12 microsatellite loci. A total of 144 alleles were detected from the 12 STR loci, with a mean value of 12.0. The highest ...allele diversity was found at the locus CSRD247 (16 alleles). PIC value showed that all studied STR markers are more informative and appropriate for genetic analysis of three Kazakh sheep populations. Beside of INRA006, all markers had high level of genetic variability. As Fixation index shows, the excess of the heterozygosity was observed only in loci MAF065. Obtained number of private alleles in Edilbai, Kazakh Arkhar Merino and Kazakh Fine-wool sheep were 25, 17 and 15 respectively. Genetic diversity was higher in Edilbai population than in other two populations. The genetic variability was lower in Kazakh Arkhar Merino sheep than in the Edilbai and Kazakh Fine-wool sheep breeds. The genetic distance was the largest between Edilbai and Kazakh Arkhar Merinos. Also, the moderate differentiation was observed between Edilbai and Kazakh Arkhar Merinos.  Â
Abstract
This article explores the specifics of the semiosis of family in the Kazakh culture. The approaches of Halliday
and Malinovsky were used to analyze the semiotics of wedding toasts, as well ...as the method of analyzing the “cultural metaphor” in
Sharifyan’s linguistics. Language units in the texts of Kazakh wedding toasts demonstrate the specific understanding of marriage
and family by the Kazakhs. The language contains “traces” of archaic, sacral, mythological ideas, rituals and traditions of the
Kazakhs. In particular, the semiotics of marriage reflect the idea of a young family as a new home. The semiotic parts of the
Kazakh yurt (
shanyrak, kerege
, and
bosaga
) are also sacred signs of marriage, symbolizing
happiness, well-being, wealth, and family safety. This is evidenced by the frequent use of names of the yurt –
ak
otau
and its components in the speech of the wedding party guests. The cosmogonic concepts
ak jaryk,
nur
(‘light’, ‘shine’) are important for understanding the semiotics of family. The difficulties in interpreting
wedding toasts arise in the intercultural communication due to Kazakh specific ideas about marriage and family presented in the
non-equivalent units of the language.
In the article, the author examines the activities of Kazakh scientist, archaeologist, orientalist, historian, literary critic, art critic, and academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Kazakh ...SSR, Alkey Khakanovich Margulan, and his contribution to the development of historical culture of Kazakhstan. The author comprehensively explores his scientific activity in Southern Kazakhstan and focuses on his contribution and new scientific discoveries on the territory of the Kazakh land. Alkey Khakanovich Margulan began his career in the field of science at a time when the ideological press was pressuring many scientists. The article considers the change of perspective from the study of Kazakh folk folklore to the study of monuments of material culture and ancient art, as well as his activities as a researcher at the Academy of Sciences of the Kazakh SSR, taking part in the creation of a scientific publication “The History of the Kazakh SSR (from ancient times to the present day)”. He made a great contribution to the development of archeology on the territory of Kazakhstan in the difficult post-war years. The author separately examines the activities of academician Alkey Margulan as the founder of archeology in Kazakhstan, as well as the influence of Stalinist repression and ideological pressure on the work of the academician. Special attention is paid to his study of the folk epic, and the influence on the future fate associated with the study of archaeology. The article uses documents of the central archives of the Republic of Kazakhstan, including the Central State Archive of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the archive of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, periodical press materials, scientific papers. The author studied the sources and historiography of the problem devoted to the topic under study.
•We identified 27,172 differential methylated regions (DMRs) and 8268 DMR-related genes (DMGs).•By combining the WGBS-seq and the previous RNA-seq data, a total of 94 overlap genes were obtained.•We ...found that 9 DMGs were likely to be involved in milk production of Kazakh horse.
Horse Milk has important quantitative characteristics and high economic value. However, the DNA methylation regulators involved in horse milk traits have not been clarified. To explore the important role of genome-wide DNA methylation in regulating equine milk yield, this study systematically investigated the genome-wide DNA methylation profiles of Kazakh horse blood by comparing a high-production group (HP, average daily milk yield of 7.5 kg) and low-production group (LP, average daily milk yield of 3.2 kg) using deep whole-genome bisulfite sequencing. First, both groups showed similar proportions of methylation at CpG sites. Subsequently, we identified 26,677 differential methylated regions (DMRs) of CG, 15 DMRs of CHG, 480 DMRs of CHH and 8268 DMR-related genes (DMGs). GO and KEGG analyses revealed that some DMGs were involved in regulating milk and milk component formation. By combining the WGBS-seq and the previous RNA-seq data, a total of 94 overlapping genes were obtained. Finally, we found that 9 DMGs are likely involved in milk production by Kazakh horses.
The relevance of the study lies in the fact that today one of the problems of linguistics is the comparative study of languages. Comparative study of unrelated languages makes it possible to identify ...features of linguistic phenomena that are barely noticeable when studying one or another language separately. These features, along with the formation of the image of a typological structure, cover both the entire language and the study of its individual parts. The purpose of the study is to analyze the effectiveness of a comparative study of the phonetic features of the language structures of the Kazakh and English languages. To achieve the research goals, the following methods were used: functional, communicative, and comparative. The starting point of training is the explanation of the role of pronunciation in the overall process of formation and perception of speech. The article emphasizes the importance of the comparative study of languages of different structures in the field of phonetics. It is described that the sounds of the language are not pronounced separately, but are used in combination with each other within a word or between words and mutually sequentially. The results of the work determined that both in Kazakh and English, sounds in the composition of words or between them influence each other and are pronounced consonantly, and questions of sound extraction play an important role in teaching speaking skills, as well as in other types of language communication. It seems necessary to enrich the repertoire of techniques used in phonetic didactics by popularizing comparative methods. Given that knowledge of the elements of phonetics is an integral part of language learning, the practical significance lies in the fact that the study can be essential in the process of preparing a productive comparative study of the English and Kazakh languages in the context of phonetics.
Introduction. The article is devoted to the history of the Kalmyks who were in exile (1943–1957) on the territory of the Aral region in Kazakhstan. The purpose of the study is to highlight individual ...materials from documents about Kalmyk special settlers and to introduce into scientific circulation the information about oral stories of deported Kalmyks who were exiled to the Aral region of Kyzylordinskaya oblast of the Kazakh SSR. Results. The deportation of a part of the Kalmyk people to the Aral region of Kyzylordinskaya oblast of the Kazakh SSR was initially not planned. However, the decision to evict the Kalmyks to this region was made immediately after the adoption of the documents on the deportation of the Kalmyk people, and on January 2, 1944, the district committee of the CPSU (b) and the district council were already considering the resettlement of Kalmyks sent to the Aral region. The destination of the SK-406 train was the Aral Sea railway station. The deportation of part of the Kalmyks, residents of the sea-side Lagan ulus, to the Aral region was due to the aim of the authorities to use the deportees in the fishing industry, which suffered significant damage during the period of hostilities in the European part of the territory of the USSR and thus which faced huge tasks to ensure the front and rear. The deported to the Aral region Kalmyks experienced the same restrictions in rights and deprivation as those Kalmyks who found themselves in the regions of Siberia. At the same time, the relatively compact settlement of the large group and the milder climate, compared to the Siberian one, were favorable factors. The Kalmyks left a mark in the memory of the local population of the Aral region of Kazakhstan. The chief doctors of the hospitals E. N. Lidzhiev, previously the People's Commissar of Health of the Kalmyk ASSR, and V. B. Mukharaev, who also became famous for his participation in the film “Daughter of the Steppes” (1954), gained special fame among the population here. The respect for Kalmyks is also manifested in the memory of famous figures who showed themselves after returning to their homeland, but who spent their youth in the Aral region: the memory of them is alive among the Kazakh population.
