Abstract
The aim of this article is to identify new achievements in contemporary Kazakh poetry through the differentiation, analysis, and demonstration of manifestations of national worldview within its context. The main idea of the research is to investigate the mental issues expressed in lyrical works of contemporary Kazakh literature, examine their connection with the global literary process, and formulate a conclusion that will serve as a foundation for future studies. The methodological basis of the work includes research by foreign and domestic scholars such as D. Kishibekov, V.V. Kolesov, A.P. Komarov, D. Kamzabekuly, B. Omaruly, and A. Sharip. Issues such as national code, national worldview, mentality, and philosophy of mentality were considered. The material of the study consists of lyrical works by N. Aituly and T. Abdykakimov. The research employed methods of observation, systematization and description of factual material, component analysis, and modeling of linguistic situations. The scientific significance of the work lies in the analysis of works by poets writing in the contemporary independent literary movement, which allows for a deeper study of the mental aspects in contemporary Kazakh lyricism. The practical significance of the results lies in their use as supplementary teaching material for courses in contemporary Kazakh literature and literary theory in philological faculties, as well as for conducting analytical studies.
