Phraseologisms as a Representation of Culture, History, Folklore: Central Asian Languages (on Material of Uzbek, Kazakh and Karakalpak Languages)

Gulom Mirzayevich Ismailov

Abstract

This research is based on the analysis of some basic concepts of Central Asian culture, which are greatly influenced by the semantic code of Turkic languages. To belong to a culture is to belong to roughly the same conceptual and linguistic universe, to know how concepts and ideas translate into different languages, and how language can be interpreted to refer to or reference the world. First of all, it should be noted that the Central Asian languages belong to the Turkic language group and have much in common with Asian and Eastern cultures’ world view. This project deals with problems of the lingua-cultural (ethnolinguistical) approach to linguistics, of a human and his/her place in the culture in every society, and it is also devoted to the problem of cultural codes of the language and their representation in the phraseologism of the Turkic languages. The main focus of this article is directed to those elements of culture, in particular, history, folklore, religious and ethnography of the Uzbek, Kazakh and Karakalpak peoples and their reflections in phraseologisms.
