Abstract

This academic work deliberate upon the modernization of the Kazakh language, with special reference to the global perspective and the linguistic characteristics of the ancient Turkic peoples, by comparing and substantiating the master versions of the monuments of Orkhon (Bilge, Tonykok, Kultegin), the "Book of Korkyt Ata" and the exploration of scientists of the contemporary era. Although the literary translation of a written monument conveys its contents, story, ideas but it doesn’t divulge rich linguistic material as much as the original. So, the transcription of any written artifact involves the formation of language, stages of development, ancient grammar and language resources, etc. because all these parameters are significant in the research point of view. To the present day, the Kazakh versions of the "Book of Korkyt Ata" have been, as mentioned above, translated through free translation and such translations should not be the basis for linguistic research. The fact that «The Book of Korkyt Ata» has not yet been decrypted and published in Kazakhstan and it shows that rich linguistic data and material both profoundly ingrained in the historical depths of our Kazakh language which still need to be grasped. With the reference it can be said that although the issue of literary translation has been largely solved, but the question of scientific translation is still unresolved. For example, scientific translation does not endure excessive autonomy, deviations from the original but indeed it requires precision and deftness so the present academic work mainly deliberate on these factors as much as possible.
