Comparative Study of Pronouns in Russian And Karakalpak Languages

Abstract

This article presents a comparative analysis of pronouns in Russian and Karakalpak, two typologically distinct languages. While Russian, a Slavic Indo-European language, utilizes an inflectional system marked by grammatical gender and extensive case usage, Karakalpak, a member of the Turkic language family, features agglutinative morphology and gender-neutral structures. The study explores various categories of pronouns including personal, possessive, demonstrative, reflexive, interrogative, indefinite, and relative pronouns. Through this comparison, key differences and similarities are highlighted, with a focus on morphological, syntactic, and semantic aspects. The research underscores how these languages encode meaning through different grammatical strategies and reflects on the implications for language learning and translation studies.
