Abstract
The article examines the study of verbs, as well as the grammatical and semantic differentiation of complex verbs within the Turkic linguistic space, based on the works of researchers such as M.А. Kazembek, A.N. Kononov, S.Malov, N.B. Baskakov, and others. In Kazakh linguistics, there is an ongoing debate regarding whether complex verbs should be classified based on grammatical indicators or semantic features, and how to determine the most accurate approach. The lexicalization of complex verbs is analyzed through the works of Zh. Shakenov. Attention is also given to the principles of classifying complex verbs, differences in viewpoints, and the process of term standardization in the works of A. Baitursynuly, A. Ysqaqov, Y. Mamanov, and other scholars. One of the morphological categories – complex verbs – serves as the foundation of the functional-semantic category. The revelation of the semantic potential of complex verbs from a functional perspective is indeed a criterion for their existence as a semantic category. Although a semantic field is characterized by the combination of various linguistic means, it does not have a specific lexical form of its own. The issue of functionality has been explored in the works of M. Zholshaeva, S. Qulmanov, A. Zhanabekova, and others. This study analyzes how the use and semantics of complex verbs are manifested in modern newspaper and journalistic texts.
