Abstract
Among the many words in the lexicon of the Kazakh and English languages, which have different structures, the most frequently used are words related to color vocabulary, which have a wide range of applications and rich meanings. In addition, color vocabulary is the most ancient and simple, has a great cognitive function and is the most commonly used method of logical comparison in the language. Even though reality is a rational means of knowing the world, the names of species and colors are the most meaningful, multifaceted linguistic phenomenon. Color vocabulary, as one of the forms of the mental field, has a special place in the emotional perception of the world and in attaching importance to any object in terms of a comparative assessment of any phenomenon in it. It is a mirror of the life of the nation and, therefore, relies on the national and cultural foundations preserved in it, because something is not something alien from the language. After all, language and culture are phenomena that live in harmony from the earliest stages of the development of civilization. Words related to color vocabulary, being a formative means of linguistic consciousness in connection with nature, today lay the foundation for the research of many scientists. Comparison and analysis of such lexicons have become the subject of fundamental aspects of the scientific paradigm, proving that colors are common units of language and cognition. Taking into account these issues, the article analyzed the cognitive nature of the Kazakh and English languages with the systematization of scientific conclusions on the problem of representing color vocabulary in the language as a cultural and linguistic phenomenon.
