FREQUENCY OF USE OF PRONOUNS İN THE MAJRUH MUGHANİ`S “DİVAN”

The article examines the manuscript copy of the 19th century Azerbaijani poet Mahammadali bey Majruh Mughani's "Divan" preserved in the Manuscript Fund named after Mahammad Fuzuli of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences, and explores the pronouns used in the work. The manuscript preserved under the code B-756 consists of a collection of poems written in the Azerbaijani language. The manuscript copy, which is incomplete from the beginning and end, has 115 pages of 18x21 cm. For this reason, although it is not possible to specify the date of writing of the manuscript, the content of the poems in the "Divan" and the poet's correspondence with his contemporaries can date the manuscript to approximately the beginning of the 19th century. The language of the poems in the manuscript is clear, fluent, and worthy, and contains the linguistic and stylistic features of the period. One of the parts of speech that is distinguished by its frequency of use in the language of the "Divan" is the pronoun. The pronouns widely used in the vocabulary of the work attract attention with their uniqueness. When studying the pronouns in the language of the "Divan", we observe that although some of them have not undergone changes in terms of modern Azerbaijani language, a small part has become archaic and has fallen out of use. In the language of the work, we mainly encounter personal, indicative, interrogative, definite and indefinite types of pronouns. Keywords: Majruh Mugani, divan, manuscript, pronoun
