ABSTRACT NOUNS: SOME ISSUES OF DEFINING LEXICAL META-TAGS IN THE NATIONAL CORPUS OF THE KAZAKH LANGUAGE

Abstract nouns are one of the little-studied lexical layers in Kazakh linguistics and Turkology. Nouns that fall under the category of abstractness include a huge vocabulary layer of the Kazakh language, which denote abstract concepts, abstract properties and qualities, and different levels of action and state. A distinctive feature of abstract nouns is also the transfer of the native speaker's relationship to the surrounding world and the world of truth.
The purpose of the study is to develop proposals on ways to identify, distinguish structural and semantic features of abstract nouns in the Kazakh language in order to supply the National Corpus of the Kazakh language with lexical and semantic meta–tags.
Based on the classification of Akhmet Baitursynuly and other leading Turkologists, the article examines the ways of structural, semantic classification of abstract nouns in the Kazakh language, recognition of semantic features, and definition of their lexico-semantic meta-descriptions. The relation of abstract nouns to national philosophy, national culture, and conceptualization of integral and differential semantics in the consciousness of the language used is analyzed.
