Abstract
The article is devoted to the phraseology of the Bashkir and Kazakh languages as a reflection of the national mentality and linguistic worldview. The relevance of the study is due to the need for a deeper understanding of the general and specific features of phraseological units of Turkic languages in the context of intercultural interaction. The aim of the study is to conduct a comparative analysis of phraseological units of the Bashkir and Kazakh languages, to identify their structural and semantic features, and to determine their role in the transmission of cultural and historical values of these peoples. The work is based on the methods of comparative analysis, component and semantic analysis, as well as a linguacultural approach. The use of these methods made it possible to identify both general patterns and differences in the functioning of phraseological units of the two languages, which are explained by their common Turkic heritage and historical interaction. At the same time, differences related to the cultural traditions and lifestyle of each ethnic group are identified. For example, expressions related to hard work in the Bashkir language are expressed by the phraseological unit "altyn kulli" (with golden hands), and in Kazakh - "barmagynan bal tamgan" (honey drips from the finger), which reflects the influence of the traditional culture of akyns (poets). The study revealed key concepts embedded in the phraseological corpus of both languages, as well as the features of their functioning in speech practice. The results obtained can be used in intercultural studies, translation studies and teaching Turkic languages.
