Abstract (English): 

Relevance of the research topic. The question of the need for textual studies of H. A. Yasawi's works was put forward long ago, and despite the elapsed time, it remains important and relevant. T. Yesembekov was one of the first to raise this issue in Kazakhstan in 1996. Twenty-seven years have passed since then, but the research has not been completed. Therefore, a textual analysis of Yasawi's hikmets was carried out.

It is known that the content and formal features of Yasawi's wisdom are heterogeneous. The main feature that defines it is the artistic attitude in the work related to the addressee. Therefore, our grouping of hikmet by addressee, first of all, opens the way to determining its poetic and individual features.

The results of the analysis are closely related to the problem of teaching hikmet. To determine the level and abilities of higher education students, classification by addressee was of great importance. Differentiating the artistic attitude of Yasawi's creativity, the level of perception of hikmet by university students was determined on the basis of a real experiment.

The object of the study All versions of the collection "Divani Hikmet", which includes cultural and literary tradition, teachings, art and speech culture of Yasawi, published in Kazakhstan, and the collection "Divine wisdom", translated into English for the first time.

The subject of the study is the features and field of study of Yasawi's wisdom, achievements and gaps in it, determining the canonicity of hikmet through textual and poetic analysis, highlighting the history of wisdom teaching and current problems in it, considering the effectiveness of methods used in teaching and how to apply them.

The aim of the study to highlight the spatial and temporal peculiarities of keeping the versions of K. A. Yasawi's compilation «Diwani Hikmet», to determine the original wisdom, to select the decisive concepts showing the main value of the heritage, to make it accessible to the public, to open the way to determine its connection with the culture of Turkic peoples today and to consider the effectiveness of learning technologies.

The following tasks were set to achieve the aim of the study:

1. Creation of a scientific version of the hikmet transcription model.
2. To review the history of publication and research of «Diwani Hikmet» versions.
3. 3. An outline of the canonical text prepared on the basis of textual comparisons is given, its differences from the previous experience are determined, the general and specific features of the poetic relations of the author-text-addressee author are emphasized.
4. 4. Classify the main theme, idea and pathos in hikmet directly related to the addressee and types.
5. To show the advantages and disadvantages of the available experience, to determine its relevance in the educational process.

Research methods. Comparative-historical analysis, literary analysis, linguo-textual analysis, compilation, methods of hermeneutic analysis, methods of empirical research, methods of analytical and statistical analysis were used in the study of hikmet text. In addition, automated information processing methods for quantitative analysis and sentimental analysis methods for determining the frequency of words in wisdom were used to determine the emotional spectrum of wisdom.

The primary scientific novelty of the research lies in the introduction of «Diwani Hikmet» into the educational curriculum through a combination of traditional teaching methods and modern technological approaches. This initiative was driven by a thorough textual analysis that established «Diwani Hikmet» as a canonical text. Within this context, the study presents significant innovations in terms of its research methodologies, conclusions drawn, comparisons made, and the sequences established within the framework of Yasawi's work

The first chapter of the work entitled «The canonical text created according to the versions of Diwani hikmet» consists of three sub-chapters. In the first chapter of the study, by considering the concepts of canonical text and textology, their meaning and functions have been defined. A detailed description and textual analysis of more than twenty versions of «Diwani hikmet» collections published in Kazakhstan were given. As a result, twelve versions were selected on the basis of three editions, each of which was partially analyzed separately. Finally, one version was obtained from each publisher.

The second stage of the study was based on the selection of hikmets of different poetics from the hikmets of the three editions. The principle of division was determined by the violation of rhythm, number of syllables, rhythmics and style in the structure of the poem. The next third stage was related to the issue of tahallus in hikmet. Determining the absence of tahallus in hikmet was also carried out according to several principles.

In the second chapter, entitled «Relationship of author, text and addressee in poetic context», the poetic analysis of canonical texts of Hikmet was made and the relationship of author, text and addressee in poetic context was determined. Theoretical aspects of poetic communication in general were considered, and the artistic communication of the author and addressee in hikmet texts was studied. The positions and genres of Yasawi's hikmetas were differentiated and grouped according to subject and content. Attention was paid to the frequency of words in the text and it was determined for whom the hikmetas were intended. The relationship of the most frequently used words with other words was differentiated and their meaning was explained.

The third part of the dissertation entitled «Technologies of using Yasawi's hikmets in the teaching process» deals with the problem of teaching Yasawi's hikmets. A historical review of the use of the poet's hikmets in the teaching process was made and it was confirmed that they are still a valuable material for teaching students. A statistical analysis of a ten and seven week experiment was also carried out, the effectiveness of teaching foreign language through Yasawi's hikmets, using traditional techniques such as retelling or paraphrasing, and it was determined that the students' level of knowledge and interest increased. The results were analyzed using numerical programs such as ANCOVA, MedCalc, and PRAAT. The results of standardized tests performed by the participants of the experiment showed that the learners' speaking level had slightly advanced.
