The role of phraseological units with proper names in linguistic worldview

Summary/Abstract: The article investigates the interrelation between culture and phraseological units including proper names on the base of the English, Russian and Kazakh languages. The topicality of the research article is determined by: 1) continued interest in learning various relations of language, thinking and culture as well as representation mechanisms of stereotypes in language; 2) integration tendencies of research paradigms in linguistics, in particular systematic and functional approaches; 3) constant tendency to order the system of expressive means in language; 4) trinity of Three Language Policy (the Kazakh, Russian and English languages) 5) multilingualism and its effect on people’s linguistic worldview. The article states several definitions of the term ‘stereotype’ in modern linguistics thus emphasizing its significance and multiversity. To indicate the reflection of history and culture in language the etymology of a number of set phrases is given as well. Methodological base of the research paper is formed by the system of fundamental representations of general interrelation of language and thinking, language and person, language and culture and their interdependence. The basic methods of the research paper are methods of linguistic observation and description which intend to interpret peculiarities of the investigated language units, an explanatory method and component-semantic analysis. It should be noted that the analysis has been conducted in an integrated way by using the methods appropriate to the given aim and tasks on each stage of the work. General scientific base of the paper is formed by principles of anthropocentrism, systematization and determinism.
