Abstract
The study of the linguistic composition and content of manuscripts written in the common Turkic literary language of Central Asia, widespread among the Turkic peoples, is of great importance. One of them, the work "Baburnama", is only now becoming the subject of research in Kazakh linguistics. Babur touches on a variety of topics in his writings, trying to describe and explain them clearly. He provides information about the natural features of each place he goes to, about the people who inhabited that place, about the relationships between people, as well as about the features and use of customs and traditions. All this is a valuable source of information for professionals in fields such as history, literature, language, biology, geography, etc. This is due to the fact that the work "Baburnama" contains an abundance of sources necessary for the natural sciences and humanities.
In this regard, the purpose of our article, which we present in the field of linguistics, is to show the peculiarities of linguistic usage on the topic of cultural and political discourse in the text of "Baburnama".
In the course of the research, lexico-semantic methods were used to describe, systematize and isolate linguistic units, as well as methods of complex syntactic integrity and linguotext methods for analyzing the structure of the text. Theoretical and practical significance of the article: the results of the research can be used in such disciplines and special courses as historical grammar, linguoculturology, historical syntax and theory of discourse. At the same time, linguistic analysis of the discursive structure of the work makes it possible to understand the linguistic uses of that era, the thoughts and motivation of the author.
