The sphere of scientific interests of Zhakupova A.D. is connected with research in the field of psycholinguistics, cognitive linguistics, comparative linguistics, lexicography, bilingualism.
A.D. Zhakupova’s priority research direction is comparative lexicology and lexicography, in particular, comparative motivology and development of motivational dictionaries on the material of different languages. Comparative motivology is considered as a section of comparative lexicology, which studies motivated and unmotivated lexical units of a particular language in comparison with other languages in order to identify the universal and specific in such a linguistic phenomenon as the phenomenon of word motivation. The peculiarity of the approach is the appeal to the speaker’s meta-linguistic consciousness by conducting a large-scale psycholinguistic experiment. A.D. Zhakupova has been working within the framework of this direction for 25 years. She has created a scientific school, which can be safely called “Kazakhstani motivological scientific school”, because within the framework of this direction under her leadership are carried out scientific projects by scientists of the department, defended master’s thesis, published special monographs and scientific articles.
Another important scientific direction of A.D. Zhakupova is comparative lexicography. A graduate of Tomsk State University (1992), A.D. Zhakupova has been involved in lexicographic work since her student days and as a graduate student of TSU worked in a professional team of lexicographers of the Department of Russian Language of TSU on the development of dictionary entries for motivational dictionaries under the guidance of Professor O.I. Blinova. She is a co-author of a number of lexicographic publications, the author of “Motivational-Comparative Dictionary of Names of Plants and Birds (on the material of Kazakh and Russian languages)” (2007).
A.D. Zhakupova has been supervising doctoral students of the Russian Philology Department for many years.
