Abstract

One of the
main tasks of Altaistics in the XXI century is to study the interconnection and
relationship between the large language groups, ​​such as Turkic, Mongolian,
Tungus-Manchu and Japanese-Korean, connecting ethnogenesis,
history, traditions and customs, spiritual and cultural heritage and world
outlook of the people speaking these languages, and an interdisciplinary
approach to Altaistics on this basis. It is important to take the
phraseological fund of Altaic languages ​​as the goal of comparative studies,
based on interdisciplinary complexity.

In this
regard, studying mythological-symbolic code of Turkic-Mongolian language
picture of the world by comparing the Kazakh and Mongolian equivalent
phraseologisms, based on kıiz
úı [ki:iz ui] ‘felted
mat house’,
‘yurt’, in the context of “language and culture”, we identify the similarities and
distinctive features of ancient cognition of the Turkic (Kazakh) and Mongolian culture in Central
Asia, historically, culturally and linguistically connected since ancient
times. Kıiz
úı is not just a house,
comfortable for moving from one place to another, but also can
symbolise of
binary oppositions of the universe.  

In nomadic worldview kıiz úı – the micro image
of the world, shаńyraq [ʃahyraq] ‘wooden circle forming the smoke opening of a
yurt’ in this image is the micromodel of the Sky, кúldireýish [kuldireuiʃ] 'cross racks on the top side of yurt’ which is connected to shаńyraq like arks symbolises “the
unity of the Space and the Man”, ýyq [uwwq] ‘flexed racks connected to shаńyraq is the symbol of the Sun rays that lights the world. 

Keywords
