Abstract
The article analyzes the lexical and semantic field of paroemias with the seme “death” in the works of Shakarim Kudaiberdiuly. The purpose of the study is to analyze the semantic features of the concept of “death” based on proverbs and sayings in the poet's works. Within the framework of linguoculturology, an attempt has been made to determine the relationship between language and culture, to clarify the concept of a concept, its structure, research methods, and also to describe the lexical and semantic field of paroemias with the seme “death”. The scientific and methodological basis of the work consists of works on cognitive linguistics and psycholinguistics. The research material was linguistic data: dictionary entries and texts of Shakarim Kudaiberdiuly's poems. The novelty of the research is determined by a comprehensive description of the lexical and semantic field of the concept of “death” in the paremiological space of the poet's works involving linguistic and linguocultural analysis. The theoretical value of the work lies in identifying ways to actualize the image of the world in Shakarim's poems through the concept of “death” and in creating the basis for further research in the field of cognitive linguistics and linguoculturology. The study analyzes the conceptual field represented in dictionary definitions, its reflection in phraseological units and proverbs, as well as the lexico-semantic field of paroemias with the seme “death” in the poet's poems.
