ABSTRACT
The
rich lexicon of the Turkic languages related to cultural, administrative, military,
everyday and state spheres has been an important source for the enrichment of
Turkic elements in the East Slavic languages, especially in the Russian
language. As a result, the vast majority of words borrowed from the Turkic
languages have gained a fundamental position in the Russian language and have
become necessary lexical units. We can further enrich and make this picture
sustainable by adding words from other Caucasian peoples to this series of
words. During the research process, our observations on the language of the
works of writers such as Pushkin, Griboyedov, Lermontov, Polezhayev, Polonsky,
Bestuzhev-Marlinsky, Lev Tolstoy, whose creative paths passed through the
Caucasus, including Azerbaijan, and whose activities were closely related to
the Caucasian countries, yielded successful results. The local words specific
to Azerbaijani Turkic that we discovered in their works, especially in works on
the Caucasus theme, reflect the life, everyday life, and people of the
Caucasian peoples with all their characteristic features.
