The active use of modern computer technologies in philology has led to the intensive development of corpus linguistics. A promising direction in this area is the development of national language corpora and the construction of concordances of various types, differing in the forms of presentation of the material, search capabilities, and technical functions. This research presents basic information about the national language corpora and concordances currently being developed in Kazakhstan. We note that the level of development of corpus linguistics in Kazakhstan differs from the level of development of language corpora in developed countries. Therefore, we point out objective factors that cause an insufficiently high rate of development of Kazakhstani dictionaries in electronic form, especially alphabetical-frequency concordances to the author's texts. This research is a part of our project to develop a Kazakh-Russian parallel corpus of Akhmet Baitursynov, which has about 3,500 words in usage. The article analyzes the structure of concordance and presents the stages, tasks of development, and functional description of the first concordance in Kazakh lexicography by Akhmet Baitursynov, a reformer and founder of Kazakh orthography, a Turkologist, author of the first textbooks. The article analyzes different approaches of scientists to the issue of systematization and typological characteristics of known concordances. Based on this analysis, we have proposed their generalized classification. The developed version of the concordance of A. Baitursynov’s language is the foundation for creating a variety of dictionaries; it can become a precedent for translating Kazakh language to a digital platform.
