CULTURAL AND COGNITIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF KAZAKH WORDS IN THE PROCESS OF COMPILING A LINGUOCULTURAL DICTIONARY

Linguoculturology is described as a complex scientific field that examines language in relation to national culture, historical consciousness, and ethnic worldview. The article defines the theoretical and methodological foundations of linguistic and foreign studies, analyzes the content and function of the concept based on the views of various scientists. During the research, lexical units reflecting the worldview of the Kazakh people were selected: related names, ethical positions, dastarkhan culture, national clothing names, linguistic data related to the place of birth and historical events, as well as units related to famous personalities, and their linguistic and cultural content was comprehensively considered. The methods of descriptive, structural-semantic and interpretative analysis are used as a methodological basis. The materials included in the dictionary are aimed at foreign language learners and are presented in an understandable and visual format that allows for a deeper explanation of the national identity, culture and ideological specifics of the Kazakh people. The information is complemented by visual and multimedia means (image, map, video, QR code) and is considered as a resource suitable for learning a language from a practical point of view. The research results are aimed at strengthening the intercultural aspect of teaching the Kazakh language, promoting national values and increasing their cultural and cognitive potential. The linguocultural dictionary developed on this basis will become a new type of educational tool, unique in Kazakh linguistics, providing students of the Kazakh language and foreign travelers with comprehensive information about the customs and traditions, national language, and spiritual culture of the Kazakh people.
