Abstract
The present study is devoted to the linguo-conceptual and linguo-cultural analysis of the phraseological representation of the concept memory based on the material of Kazakh, Russian, and English languages. The trilingual language policy and approach in Kazakhstan promotes proficiency in Kazakh as the state language, Russian as the language of interethnic communication, and English as the language of international integration. The object of analysis is phraseological units that form the phraseosemantic macrofield memory within the structure of the intellectual conceptual sphere of the aforementioned linguocultures. The research is based on a comprehensive methodological approach, which includes etymological, componential, structural-semantic, comparative methods, and modeling. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the development of a semantic typology of phraseological units representing the concept memory, as well as in the identification of its cognitive structure, which includes three microfields: processes of memory consolidation, forgetting, and reproduction of previously acquired information. In addition, an analysis of linguocultural connotations and evaluative components was carried out, reflecting cultural values, archetypes, and mental model’s characteristic of each of the examined language systems. The results obtained broaden the understanding of the ways memory is conceptualized as a cognitive and cultural phenomenon, contribute to the theoretical foundation of anthropocentric linguistics, and have practical applications in intercultural communication, translation studies, linguoculturology, and foreign language teaching.
