A guest lecture by a professor from Turkey held at Zhubanov University

Today, a guest lecture was held at the K. Zhubanov Aktobe Regional University by Erdoğan Boz, Professor of the Department of Turkish Language and Literature of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Eskişehir Osmangazi University.

The lecture on the topic "Similarities and Differences between the Kazakh and Turkish Languages" was devoted to the comparative study of the two related languages, their common features, lexical and grammatical characteristics, as well as the historical patterns of their development.

Professor Erdoğan Boz is a scholar whose research interests cover the history of the Turkish language, linguistics, lexicography, and the philosophy of language. In recent years, he has paid special attention to the Kazakh language in his research.

For the professor, this visit was his first acquaintance with Aktobe. At the same time, as our guest noted, he is well acquainted with the scientific works of the outstanding Kazakh scholar Kudaibergen Zhubanov, whose name the university proudly bears.

The visit of the foreign scholar is aimed not only at exchanging scientific knowledge but also at strengthening academic ties between the universities. Within the framework of the meeting, issues of further scientific cooperation, experience exchange, and the development of research in the field of Turkic languages were touched upon.

The lecture aroused particular interest among students who had previously studied in Turkey, as well as those studying the Turkish language. At the end of the lecture, a question-and-answer session was held, during which the students were able to ask the professor their questions and receive detailed answers.

Such meetings contribute to broadening the professional horizons of future philologists, strengthening international academic interaction, and deepening scientific ties between Kazakhstan and Turkey.
