It is believed that bilingualism modifies one’s perception and social realities as a result of having a broader cultural perspective. In fact, language and culture are intertwined. This effect can enrich writing and improve the effective transmission of thoughts and emotions. Thus, the article intended to explore the bilingual writers’ perception about the world and its realities and identify their perspectives as reflected in their works. To achieve the main purpose of the study, a number of works by three modern bilingual (Kazakh/Russian) writers (i.e., Alimzhanov, Asemkulov, and Seysenbayev) were meticulously analyzed, since various phenomena, events, social realities, and views formed in the environment of the two cultures are reflected in the work. The findings revealed that bilingual writers’ vision of the world can be multi-influenced by their native and foreign languages and that the bilingual cognition adds an extra layer of complexity to the writers’ point of view.

This article examines contemporary sociolinguistic issues related to the state language, including compliance with traditional norms of the national literary language, the identification of leading trends in language development, and the collection and systematization of ways of speech delivery in communicative practice. Through a linguistic anthropocentric lens, the article revises the concepts of Kazakh speech culture and scientific principles, emphasiz-ing the importance of unifying and normalizing language norms to improve language culture among users, enrich the language, and ensure the full functioning of the Kazakh language as the state language. The article also explores the relationships between norms, language norms, literary norms, and usus, highlighting distinctive features and peculiarities characterizing norms, including traditional and internal dynamic ones. The frequency of linguistic facts in determining the difference between norm and usus was also investigated as the main criteria.
