The study of the value concepts of autochthonous culture as key components of the national worldview, as well as the concept of family as the formation centre of an axiological worldview, is of particular relevance. The study is aimed at identifying and interpreting the conceptual family values in autochthonous literary discourse. The analysis demonstrates that the conceptual values of the family are a multi-layered semantic structure that encompasses a set of personal, social, and cultural aspects. This article employs a cognitive-discursive interpretation of the discourse-generating concept of "samovar" in Didakhmet Ashimkhanuly's autochthonous narrative "Grandmother's Samovar". The universal symbolism of the “samovar” concept is manifested in its culturally specific meaning, as evidenced by its integration into the model of the traditional Kazakh family. Within this paradigm, the image of the grandmother as the guardian of the family hearth serves to actualize the axiological significance of generational continuity and the preservation of ethnocultural traditions. The value potential of the concept “samovar” is revealed in its interpretation as a mediator in family and generational interaction (family); the center of sacred space (home); the keeper of family history (memory); a marker of the continuation of the family line (generational continuity), and the heritage preservation (traditions).
