LEXICAL FEATURES OF CLOTHING TERMINOLOGY IN T. QAYIPBERGENOV'S TRILOGY QARAQALPAQ DÁSTANI (KARAKALPAK EPIC)

The vocabulary of a language serves as an important source of information about a people's history, culture, and everyday life. Words associated with a particular occupation, sphere of life, or aspect of material culture form thematic groups. Among these groups, clothing terminology occupies a special place because it reflects not only items of dress but also a people's way of life, social strata, gender and age differences, and aesthetic preferences. Studying the names of traditional Karakalpak clothing through literary works helps reveal the semantic richness of the vocabulary [1, 2].
