Resumen

The aim of the study is to investigate the language units expressing the notion of degree or quantity on Old Turkic monuments via comparative qualitative research methods. As a result, formation and transferral methods for the notion of quantity are clearly rooted in three linguistic levels: phonetics, lexicon, and grammar. In conclusion, the category of measure even in the Old Turkic period, a foundational historical period in the development of the Kazakh language, has reached the level of a general language category with its lexical and grammatical forms and methods fully formed.
