COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF MORPHOLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF APPROXIMATIVE NUMERALS IN THE TAJIK LITERARY LANGUAGE APPERTAINING TO THE XVIII AND ХХ CENTURIES

ASHRAPOV Bahodurjon P.


The article dwells on comparative analysis of morphological peculiarities of approximative numerals in the Tajik literary language appertaining to the XVIII-th and XX centuries. It is underscored that numerals are divided into two groups in conformity with their function and meaning in modern Tajik literary language they are referred to as cardinal and ordinal ones. In a nutshell, the author of the article comes to the conclusion that all kinds of numerals of the language of the correlative periods are similar to their counterparts in modern Tajik literary language grammatically. Therefore, the approximate numerals of the correlative historical productions [1; 2; 3; 9] are of particular role and place in sentences. In ustod S. Aini`s works there are approximate numerals which are followed by the words “takhminan and taqriban=approximately”; the relevant phenomenon being considered to be one of the distinguishing peculiarities of both modern Tajik literary language and the language of the periods in question. In reference to it, in the Tajik literary language of the XX century the formers are designed on the premise of “yak=one” while the original numerals are not characteristic for the Tajik literary language of the XVIII century.
