The article is devoted to the study and description of the natural environment and material culture of the pra-Turkic peoples. The article also examines the different views of famous russian turkologists on the paleoculture of the ancient Turks. An analysis of the meteorological, landscape, floristic and faunistic vocabulary of the Turkic languages allowed russian turkologists to localize the ancestral home of the ancient Turks in the territory from the dry steppes of East Turkestan to the foothills of Altai and mountain forests. The considered scientific articles give representations of Turks about the sky, celestial bodies and phenomena, about climate, landscape terminology, floristic vocabulary, types of settlements and the material life of the early Turks; their dwellings are described.

The article deals with the concept of valency as a phenomenon lying at the confluence of syntax and lexical semantics. The paper also represents types of valency, directions in which the theory of valency is considered. Valency in the broad sense of the word refers to the capacity of a language unit to enter into communication with other units of a particular order. Objectivity and scientific and practical significance of the theory of valency is determined by the lexical-semantic potential of the word. Semantic valency is based on the logical semes of the word semantics. These semes are consistent with the logical semes of other word meanings, as a result, the given word demonstrates the combining capability with another word. This is considered to be its semantic valency. We have attempted to identify and investigate a peculiar kind of valency in the Kazakh language. We use the concepts of valency and compatibility as synonyms, but in a number of works they are distinguished. Thus, compatibility is regarded as a realized valency, and valency as a potential compatibility of the same language level elements. Сombinability refers to peculiarity of a word to realize in speech its syntagmatic relations in the form of a phrase
