Abstract

Lingua-cultural study explores the relationship between language and culture in their functioning as the "cultural identity" of the nation as a whole, and of a single linguistic personality and describes the structure of the linguistic picture of the world. The interaction of language and culture is especially clearly traced through the functioning of the word-concept in proverbs and sayings, phraseological units, literary texts, folklore. Culturological study of concepts is associated with the study of texts in which these concepts are fixed and verbalized as a reflection of national culture and consciousness. In this regard, the study of the concepts of culture on the material of folklore texts seems to be especially relevant. Folklore is the repository of national culture. Folklore texts are an integral part of the vocabulary of the language, reflecting the specific features of the material and spiritual culture of the people, their national mentality. Fairy tales have a special place among folklore texts. This article is dedicated to analyzing culture-specific lexical units as a means of reflecting the realia of the world around us (on the material of Kazakh, English, Russian and Turkish fairy tales).
