THE CONCEPT OF ‘BÖRİK’ (BÖRK) IN KAZAKH: AN ETYMOLOGICAL, LEXICAL AND CULTURAL STUDY

Öz

The concept of börik (börk) in Kazakh possesses a deeply rooted history in terms of its etymological, lexicological, dialectological, and cultural dimensions. Preserved continuously from Old Turkic to modern Turkic dialects, this term initially referred merely to a type of headgear; however, over time it underwent a semantic expansion and acquired powerful symbolic meanings associated with identity, status, protection, and social belonging. These broad functions undertaken by the concept have been examined through etymological dictionaries, historical texts, dialectal data, proverbs, idioms, and ethnographic sources, thereby enabling a detailed evaluation of the historical development, semantic transformation, and cultural functions of the word. The findings demonstrate that the word börik (börk) is not simply an ordinary lexical item denoting an article of clothing, but also an important cultural concept reflecting the historical continuity of Turkic culture. Furthermore, it has been clearly revealed that this concept carries a spiritual value directly connected with honor, courage, dignity, sacredness, and social identity in Kazakh society. In this respect, the study makes significant contributions to the fields of Turkic etymology, Kazakh lexicology, dialectology, and cultural Turkology.
