Abstract. The article deals with the international culinary terminology based on the culinary vocabulary of the Azerbaijani language. Culinary vocabulary is the etymological and linguo-cultural code of every nation. An increase in the level of development of society leads to the emergence of acquisitions in the process of language interaction. The analysis of linguistic and cultural relations based on the culinary vocabulary of the Azerbaijani language is the novelty of this research. The existing exchanging process of words between languages manifested itself throughout the history of the development of languages. The interaction of the Azerbaijani people with the Arabs, then with the Russians, and today with the peoples of Europe for many centuries could not stay unnoticed, as well as the life style, history, customs and language of the people. The culinary vocabulary has become more than international in recent years, and its study can reveal many aspects of the modernization and globalization of languages. From this point of view, the research topic is relevant for modern linguistics. The analysis of linguistic and cultural relations based on the culinary vocabulary of the Azerbaijani language is the novelty of this research. The Azerbaijani culinary terminological system is rich in international terms, and the main goal of this study is to consider the linguistic and cultural ties of peoples in the era of globalization using the example of the Azerbaijani language through culinary terms. Descriptive and comparative methods of linguistics were used in the study. As in all world languages, acquisitions play a special role in enriching the terminological system of each language. Based on the analysis of the linguistic materials of the Azerbaijani language, the author concludes that international terms are very often found in the culinary terminology of the Azerbaijani language. As a result of intensive inter-lingual contacts, the number of international terms in culinary terminology has a particular growth dynamics. The stated theoretical and linguistic materials, as well as the scientific conclusions of the study, can be useful for further research in this direction.
