A study on semantic studies in Azerbaijan

In this study, researches on the development of the lexical-semantic system of the Azerbaijani language were examined. The first semantic studies in Azerbaijan began in the 1920s. But in the Soviet era, as in many other fields, research on Linguistics had a relative character. For this reason, its semantics have not been adequately studied and remained within a certain limit. However, some of the researches carried out in this period are still valid today with their scientific innovation. Although the research was carried out in a narrower framework, it forms the basis of today`s Semantics. During the research, it was determined that the first semantic studies were carried out by Chobanzade and theoretically shed light on today`s grammar. After the death of Chobanzade, studies on semantics for a long time caused certain delays in the development of science. In this study, Chobanzad`s research on Semantics is compared with the research that followed. And the contribution of these works to the development of the Azerbaijani language has been determined. In addition, it is aimed to eliminate the problems and inadequacies encountered in the reading and evaluation of these works, and to solve some problems of Azerbaijani Linguistics. Firstly, studies on Semantics were examined one by one, and similar and different features between them were determined. The features of semantics written in separate books are gathered together. If it is mentioned that there are 3 types of semantics in Çobanzade`s work, the number of these types has gradually increased in subsequent studies. Some language traditions inherited by society are being updated and changed. The words of profession and art, the style of expression of the press, enter the literary and artistic language of the people, that is, they begin to be used in all styles of the language.The research was conducted by focusing on comprehensive information about these categories. This increases the importance of semantics.
