The article is dedicated to the syncretic feature of the Kazakh language, to which the analytic structure is inherent. The Kazakh language is considered as an agglutinative language, in spite of seventy five percent of predicates are conveyed in an analytical form. Despite this, it is impossible to find information about the Kazakh analytical structure. There are different phenomena in Kazakh, which are impossible to explain from the point of agglutination. For example, there is no the dominant verb aspect category, which organizes a sentence proposition, because they are mostly conveyed analytically. There are so many analytical composite predicates, which consist of several constituents, for example, құлап қала жаздап тұрып кетті, which consists of four gerunds and one auxiliary verb. The agglutination does not answer the questions: what is what in this composite predicate, the role of gerunds in it, how many semantic cores it has, what about syntax structure of this conglomeration, their dependencies on each other, because these constituents of analytic predicates do not agglutinate. Kazakh is one of the oldest syncretic languages with predicates at the end of sentences. The syntactic functions being carried out by the positions of sentence members and its multifunctional properties of parts of speech are the main indicators of syncretic languages. If a language has an agglutinative structure, the evidence for this phenomenon is the presence of affixal morphemes, if a language has an analytical structure, then what is the source of this phenomenon? There is no answer. The aim of the article is to determine the status of ‘syncretism’ in Kazakh and its analytic structure, which is inherent in syncretism and syncretism manifestation features on the background of Kazakh verb. The article also focuses attention on the thesis that languages do not consist of a single type, they consist of synthesized types. The Kazakh language is analytical on the basis of syncretism, then agglutinative language. It is impossible to find pure language types.
