This article investigates linguistic markers of the Kazakh national mentality, focusing on the conceptual field «ел/people» and the analysis of the concepts «қонақжайлылық/hospitality» and «бата/blessing». It explores specific elements of the Kazakh language that reflect the worldview, values, and cultural norms of the Kazakh people. Linguistic markers of Kazakh national mentality are embedded in words, phraseological expressions, and grammatical structures, serving as indicators of the deeper meanings and traditional perceptions of the world characteristic of the Kazakh nation. These markers reveal the cultural, historical, and social experiences shaping the Kazakh linguistic worldview. The purpose of the study is to describe the substantive and structural features of the linguistic organization of the conceptual field «ел/people» as a core unit of the Kazakh linguistic mentality, and to analyze the associated concepts of hospitality («қонақжайлылық») and blessing («бата»). The article also considers key principles for modeling the conceptual field «ел/people» in the context of studying the national linguistic mentality. The practical significance of the study lies in its applicability to university teaching within the linguocultural cycle and in the compilation of dictionaries of concepts and linguocultural thesauri, providing tools for understanding and preserving the cultural and linguistic heritage of the Kazakh people.
