Abstract

This research article discusses the development of a poetic corpus based on the poems of Abai. The research methodology combines corpus linguistics and computational modeling to ensure objective text analysis. The construction of the poetic corpus is conducted within the framework of corpus linguistics, while the annotation of poetic markers is performed using computational modeling. Models related to the annotations are developed based on linguistic and software algorithms. The findings demonstrate that Abai's language and stylistic shifts can be systematically analyzed, offering new insights into his poetic expression. This study makes a significant contribution to linguistics by expanding the scope of analysis and interpretation of poetic texts. Its practical relevance of the work lies in the development of programs and tools for teaching and studying the Kazakh language through the lens of literary analysis.
