Since ancient times, Arabic has been an actively used language. Arabic language is also renowned as the language of Al-Qur’an (Muslim’s holy book). However, it is important to notice that the Arabic language used for communication is certainly different from that used in the Qur’an, which is also called the classical Arabic language (qodîmah). This Qur’anic Arabic has various unique characteristics. This paper elaborates some specificities and uniqueness of Arabic letter Dād that no other languages in this world bear similarities. Thus, it cannot be denied if this language is used to represent the verses of the Qur’an. Although some challenges were later found in pronouncing this letter after the Qur’an is read by all Muslims throughout the world. The letter Dād, found in the 15

<div><p><strong>Abstract :</strong> Man in ancient times, adheres the ancient cosmology, who hold no separation between supranatural and natural realm, beliefs that every occurrences in the world is ruled under the Divine free determination and decree. There is no natural law runs out of the order and will of God (as defended by Deism). Therefore, for them, miracle is always a real experience and unseparable part of daily life. Miracle is not something irrational. On the contrary, ancient reason provides justifications for its occurency. Certainly, this conviction as a mythological interpretation that is being applied toward the facts which actually are ordinary and natural. Commonly, such mythological interpretations were generally proposed by the writers of holy books (scripture) long after the actual events, all of which, however was normal and natural. All miraculous stories in the holy books are entirely imaginary narratives which were codified post actum or post eventum, long after the unsensational actual events, and were built with religious apologetical or propagandistic purposes, rather than reporting the historical facts as they were. At their hand, the history is under religious-political apologies and propaganda.</p><p><em>Keywords : Holy book, historiography, fact/history, fiction,  mitology, scientific subjectivism, objectivism, interactivism, sensus plenior</em></p><p><em><br /></em></p><p><strong>Abstrak :</strong> Bagi manusia di zaman kuno, yang menganut kosmologi kuno, tak mengenal pemisahan antara dunia adikodrati dan dunia kodrati. Bagi mereka alam berjalan karena semuanya diatur dan ditentukan dengan bebas oleh Allah. Tidak ada hukum alam yang berjalan mandiri terlepas dari pengaturan dan kehendak Allah (sebagaimana dipertahankan deisme di zaman modern). Karena itu, mukjizat senantiasa merupakan pengalaman nyata dan keadaan yang tak terpisah dari kehidupan sehari-hari. Bagi mereka, mukjizat bukanlah hal yang tak masuk ke dalam nalar mereka. Namun sebaliknya, nalar manusia kuno membutuhkan dan memberi tempat bagi terjadinya mukjizat. Tentu saja, jika menurut mereka mukjizat telah terjadi, pendapat mereka ini adalah sebuah interpretasi mitologis atas fakta-fakta yang seluruhnya normal dan kodrati saja. Umumnya berbagai macam interpretasi mitologis ini diajukan para penulis kitab-kitab suci pada masa jauh sesudah kejadian-kejadian yang sebenarnya, yang normal dan kodrati semata. Semua kisah mukjizat dalam kitab-kitab suci adalah kisah-kisah imajiner yang disusun post actum atau post eventum, jauh sesudah kejadian sebenarnya yang tidak sensasional, dengan tujuan-tujuan apologetik atau demi propaganda keagamaan, bukannya melaporkan fakta-fakta sejarah apa adanya. Di tangan mereka, sejarah ditaklukkan seluruhnya pada apologetika dan propaganda religio-politik.</p><p><em>Kata kunci : Kitab suci, historiografi, fakta/sejarah, fiksi, mitologi, subjektivisme ilmiah,  objektivisme, interaktivisme, sensus  plenior</em></p></div>

From ancient times till nowadays information plays a key role in the political processes. The beginning of XXI century demonstrated the transformation of global security from military to information, social etc. aspects. The widening of pandemic demonstrated the weaknesses of contemporary authoritarian states and the power of human-oriented states. During the World War I the theoretical and practical interest toward political manipulation and political propaganda grew definitely. After 1918 the situation developed very fast and political propaganda became the part of political influence. XX century entered into the political history as the millennium of propaganda. The collapse of the USSR and socialist system brought power to new political actors. The global architecture of the world has changed. Former Soviet republic got independence and tried to separate from Russia. And Ukraine was between them. The Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine was the start point for a number of processes in world politics. But the most important was the fact that the role and the place of information as the challenge to world security was reevaluated. The further annexation of Crimea, the attempt to legitimize it by the comparing with the referendums in Scotland and Catalonia demonstrated the willingness of Russian Federation to keep its domination in the world. The main difference between the referendums in Scotland and in Catalonia was the way of Russian interference. In 2014 (Scotland) tried to delegitimised the results of Scottish referendum because they were unacceptable for it. But in 2017 we witness the huge interference of Russian powers in Spain internal affairs, first of all in spreading the independence moods in Catalonia. The main conclusion is that the world has to learn some lessons from Scottish and Catalonia cases and to be ready to new challenges in world politics in a format of information threats.

After the Islamic conquest, the Greek Orthodox, so-called Melkite ( = Royalist), church fairly early adopted Arabic as its literary language. Their intellectual centres in Syria/Palestine were Jerusalem, along with the monaster ies of Mar Sabas and Mar Chariton in Judea, Edessa and Damascus. A great many Arabic manuscripts stemming from the first millennium, some of them dated, copied at the monastery of Mar Chariton and especially at that of Mar Saba, have been discovered in the monastery of St. Catherine on Mount Sinai, the only monastery that has not been pillaged and set on fire by the bedouin. These manuscripts are of great importance for the history of the Arabic language. Because Christians were less devoted to the ideal of the ‘arabiyya than their Muslim contemporaries, their writings contain a great many devi ations from classical Arabic, thus enabling us to reconstruct early Neo-Arabic, the predecessor of the modern Arabic dialects, and bridge a gap of over one thousand years in the history of the Arabic language.

ÖZET. Milletlerin çok eski zamanlardan bugüne kadar yaşayarak edinmiş oldukları tecrübeler, bilgiler, kazanımlar ve değerler o milletin kültürünü oluşturur. Edinilen değerlerin dil aracılığıyla hayat bulması kültürdilbilim alanı çerçevesinde kültür-dil-insan arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeye değer bulmuştur. Herhangi bir varlığın şekline, işlevine, görevine, görüntüsüne her toplumda farklı anlam veya dilsel dünya görüşünü yansıtan adlar verilir. Kültür-dil-insan çerçevesinde dil ve kültür ilişkilerinin belli bir disiplin altında incelenmesi ancak kültürdilbilim yoluyla mümkündür. Dilbilim alanına ait kültürdilbilim çalışmalarında ele alınan dilsel dünya görüşü kavramı her bir dilin dolayısıyla toplumun ya da ortak değerlere sahip toplumlarının oluşturduğu milletlerin dünyayı nasıl algılayıp yansıttığını, çevresindeki varlıkların ve kavramların hangi niteliklerini ayırt ettiğini, insanın duygu ve düşüncelerini, değer yargılarını nasıl betimledikleri incelenmektedir. Bu makalede kültürdilbilim çerçevesinde Türkçede “gibi”, Kırgızcada -DAy eki ve “sıyaktuu”, “öndüü” bağlacıyla yapılan benzetmeler ve deyimler Türkçe ile karşılaştırmalı olarak incelenmekte, böylelikle iki toplum arasındaki dış dünya algısı arasındaki farklılıklar veya benzerlikler tespit edilecektir. Адам баласы алмустактан бери топтогон маалыматы, турмуштан топтогон тажрыйбасы жана баалуулуктары менен улуттук маданиятын түзгөн. Тилдик каражаттар аркылуу чагылдырылган турмуштук тажрыйбалар улуттук маданият чөлкөмүндө маданият-тил-адам баласы деген чөйрөдө изилдөөгө алынат. Сөз, форма, иш аракет, көрүнүштөр ар бир коомдо ар кандай маанини туюндурган лексикалар менен берилген. Маданият-тил-адам баласы аттуу чөйрөдө тилдик жана маданий байланыштар белгилүү бир тартипте изилдениши бир гана маданияттаануу жолу менен ишке ашат. Тил илимине тиешелүү маданияттаануу илиминде каралган тилдик дүйнө тааным түшүнүгү ар бир тилдин, ошол эле учурда орток баалуулуктарга ээ болгон коомдун дүйнөнү кабыл алышы жана аны чагылдырышы, анын чөйрөнү жана түшүнүктөрдү айырмалаган сапаттарын, адамдын ички уйгу-туйгусун жана түшүнүктөрүн кандай сүрөттөгөнүн изилденет. Бул макалада маданияттаанууда Түрк тилиндеги “gibi” Кыргыз тилиндеги –ДАй мүчөсү, сыяктуу жана өндүү жандоочтор менен бе-рилиши, фразеологиялык каражаттар Түрк тили менен салыштырылып, эки тилдин ортосундагы сырткы дүйнө тааным менен болгон айырмасы жана окшоштуктары аныкталат. The experiences, knowledge, achievements and values that have been gained by nations starting from ancient times and up today constitute the culture of that nation. It has become worthy of examining the relationship between culture-language-human within the frameworks of cultural linguistics. Names are attached to any entity in accordance with its shape, function, tasks, and appearance that reflect different meanings in each society or their linguistic worldview. Analyzing language and culture relations within the scope of a certain discipline in the frameworks of culture-language-human is only possible by means of Cultural Linguistics. The concept of linguistic worldview, which is discussed in cultural-linguistics studies in the field of linguistics, deals with studying how each language and therefore the societies or societies with common values perceive the world and reflect it through the language they use, what qualities of entities and concepts surrounding them they distinguish, how they describe feelings and thoughts of a human being and their value judgments. This paper studies analogies and idioms that are formed by means of preposition “gibi” in the Turkish language and “sıyaktuu” with the suffix –Day in the Kyrgyz language, which are examined in the context of comparative cultural linguistics. Thus, the differences and/or similarities between the perception of external world between the two societies are revealed.
