Chinloda M.S., Tagaev M.D.

Abstract


The authors study and describe the processes of metaphorization in the cultural and semantic space of the Kyrgyz language using data from other languages and cultures. As a result of the study, the features of the formation of the most valuable linguacultural codes and images of the world for the Kyrgyz ethnic group were identified against the background of correlative meanings of Arabic and other languages. The material was figurative metaphorical expressions of the Kyrgyz discourse and correlative meanings in the Arabic and Russian Languages. The principles and methods of the study are a set of theoretical and methodological approaches that underlie linguacultural studies and work in the field of cognitive linguistics. The relevance and value of this and similar studies is that they reveal the features of the axiology, worldview and mental-­linguistic thinking of the Kyrgyz ethnic group.
