The article examined the cognitive and linguistic features of the “altyn/gold” concept in Kazakh and English paremiology. The importance of the analysis of paremias in recognition of the concept is related to the fact that these proverbs provide the main value orientations of each people, and they appear as a type of condensed national cultural texts. As a result of the study, differences in phraseological units of the Kazakh and English languages in the interpretation of the concept of altyn/gold were revealed from the analysis of linguocreative, pragmatic, and linguocultural factors. The cognitive nature of culturally marked linguistic units, which determine the cultural character of the two nations in the linguistic image of the world, was determined by studying Kazakh linguistic and cultural knowledge and the “gold” component of the English national identity within the framework of the linguoconceptual paradigm of paremias.

Turkic languages are based on the study of common spiritual foundations as well as proving the valuable works of the ancient Turkish era. Modern linguistics proves in accordance with the communicative and hereditary nature of culture, its preservation as an open system, its achievement, and the implementation of a new language. Therefore, in a certain ethnic (national) collective, the majority of means of cultural communication serves as language and characterizes culture as a historical and social process. The article describes how the kinship is demonstrated in the language of Turkic peoples based on the cumulative function of the language. This article considers cumulative function in the content similarities of phraseological units. Understanding of this issue lies in identifying and modernizing the Turkic peoples’ historical, spiritual, and social worldviews, as well as the culture of each ethnic group in their language; therefore, the above issue is comprehended through the insight into the linguistic content.

The relevance of the study is conditioned by the undeveloped issue of the conceptual framework ‘Ғаилә’ (‘Family’) in the Bashkir language picture of the world on the example of Mustai Karim’s work and the lack of works covering this concept. The purpose of the study is to identify the place of the conceptual framework ‘Ғаилә’ (‘Family’) in the Bashkir language picture of the world and the linguistic consciousness of the Bashkirs, by referring to the works of Mustai Karim. The conceptual analysis method was used, as well as component analysis, synthesis, and the deductive method, comparison. The paper analyses the etymological-conceptual, figurative, and value-based features of the conceptual framework ‘Ғаилә’ (‘Family’) in the works of Mustai Karim. This study contributes to the theory of the conceptual development of the conceptual framework ‘Ғаилә’ (‘Family’) based on the material of a single language. The conceptual framework ‘Ғаилә’ (‘Family’) was fully analyzed and described in the language picture of the poet’s world.

Research related to colonialism and post colonialism shows how the identities of indigenous people were constructed and how these identities are reconstructed in our contemporary world. The thrust of this paper is that colonialism brought a shift in the linguistic structure of Ghana with the introduction of the use of English among Ghanaians. The coexistence of both Ghanaian languages and English after colonialism has introduced a hybrid linguistic situation that is engineered by the presence or absence of literacy among the people of Ghana. The paper asserts that language and formal literacy, which have been closely linked to the English language, have informed the construction and reconstruction of identities of elitism and subjectivities and subsequently led to the representation of such identities in different pragmatic contexts. The paper advocates a reconsideration of language policies in mainly post-colonial contexts to bring indigenous language to coexist equally with former colonial languages in education and other related contexts.
