New Directions in Young Scholars’ Research: Outcomes of the “Young Scientists” Section of the “Farabi Alemi” Conference

Within the framework of the international scientific conference “Farabi Alemi,” held at the Faculty of Philology of 91ý Kazakh National University, the “Young Scientists” section successfully carried out its work.

Young researchers from various higher education institutions in Kazakhstan and abroad took part in the section. In particular, representatives from 91ý Kazakh National University, L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University, SDU University, Sarsen Amanzholov East Kazakhstan University, Uzbekali Zhanibekov South Kazakhstan Pedagogical University, Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University, K.I. Satbayev Kazakh National Research Technical University, as well as the University of Georgia (USA), actively participated. In total, 129 applications were submitted, the majority of which came from students and young scholars of 91ý KazNU.

The reports addressed pressing issues in literary studies, linguistics, translation studies, and modern language processes. In particular, topics included the analysis of cultural codes in literary texts, ethnolinguistic research, cognitive and semiotic aspects, as well as the use of artificial intelligence tools in language teaching and translation practice.

Based on the results of the section, the winners were determined:

First-degree diplomas were awarded to doctoral student D.Zh. Dauylova (91ý KazNU) for the study “The System of Family Values in Akim Tarazi’s novel ‘Punishment’: Artistic Model and Cultural Features in Translation,” and to master’s student R. Khisamidinov for the research “Integrating artificial intelligence tools in IELTS speaking practice.”

Second-degree diplomas were awarded to eight participants. Their research covered topics such as the terminological representation of morphological concepts, ethnocultural characteristics of zoomorphic images, the cultural transformation of the “Umay Ana” archetype, cognitive-semiotic features of metaphors in English, politeness categories in the Kazakh language, preservation of national identity in literary translation, and the limitations of neural machine translation.

Third-degree diplomas were awarded to nine participants. Their works addressed relevant issues such as the intonation patterns of Kazakhstani youth’s spoken English, modern Kazakh media discourse, comparative linguistic and cultural studies, translingualism, and the role of intertextual approaches in teaching.

The work of the section demonstrated the high scientific potential of young researchers and confirmed that their studies meet modern academic standards. Moreover, the presentations highlighted the interconnection between different areas of philological science and provided new momentum for future research.
