Abstract
The article gives a theoretical justification for the concept of "time" in linguistics, including the linguistic nature of the problem of time in the Kazakh and German languages. Based on the opinions of domestic and foreign scientists, the cognitive character of time in the Kazakh and German languages may be found in phraseological units. Knowledge of time in Kazakh language is foundin the example of "Kultegin" by the words of the Kazakh brothers in China and Mongolia during the first five days of the week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) weekday, sixth day (Saturday) half-day (half-year) on the seventh day of the week (Sunday), which is called a full day off (full release). Also, it is possible to specify the days of the week: the first day, the second day, the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day, the sixth day, the seventh day, the first day, the second month, the first month, the second month. These concepts were originally derived as a continuation from the ancient Turkish tradition of the time. Counting,according tothe Kazakhs, is not to say "All the day of God is good", every day is given through its examples of importance to humanity. "Do not leave today's job tomorrow", "The lips will not be exhausted", "Tomorrow is the sun", "If you have a dream life", "Breakfast is good", "A six-day holiday for a ridiculous person", "a bottle of noise for a thousand days, a day's break", "Everything is good at its best", "Lying down, lying on a bed, is the principle value of time by which our nation lives.”In the knowledge of the German people, time was grouped by metaphorical models. Linguistic phraseological units were interpreted in two languages as "time" and "time quality". According to linguistic data, it is not difficult to understand that the concept of time is an important part of the Kazakh and German languages. The spiritual heritage of the two peoples since ancient times is closely related to time.
