How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article describes a look at the mythological symbolism of color in the Kazakh, Korean and English linguistic worldviews. Color symbolism in myths determines the basis of folk traditions, customs, beliefs and spiritual culture. It defines meaning, feelings, traditions, life based on a certain value system. Color-cognitive description is one of the areas of linguistics in which the peculiarities of the worldview, traditions and customs of a certain nation are studied through the prism of color. Language is not only a means of expressing human thoughts, but also an ethnopsychological and ideological means cultivated over centuries, and a means of understanding this world. The purpose of the study is to identify the universal and national features of color symbolism, which were determined by comparing the culture tone of the color concept, revealing the worldview of the Kazakh, Korean and English peoples. The semantics of color in the cognitive properties of myths is explored by comparing mythical characters. Our article examines the mythical creatures of three nations, selects the characters closest to each other and conducts a comparative analysis of the color symbolism of the description of the heroes.
