The permanent interest of modern linguistics in the human factor in language can be seen from the study of somatic units, the somatic lexicon includes everything related to the human body in its semantics. Being one of the ancient layers of the lexicon, somatisms form the universal lexical fund of any language and are characterized by stability, high frequency of use and branched semantic structure. Somatic vocabulary requires a comprehensive analysis, since the lexical-phraseological fund of any language is rich and distinctive, numerous and complex in its nature. In this connection, it is very important to distinguish those somatic units, the root of which is a part of the human body, and to study its linguistic nature in a special way.
The purpose of the study is to determine the lexical and semantic features of somatisms in the Kazakh language. In the research work, using the dictionary of the Kazakh literary language as a source, the analysis of somatisms in the Kazakh language was made. The research work used methods of mass sampling collection and analysis of materials.
The results and conclusions obtained in the course of the study will contribute to a closer acquaintance with the specific features of the lexicon of the Kazakh language, the scientific completion of the Kazakh lexicology.
The importance of the research work is the interest of modern linguistics to somatism study, belonging to the linguistic universals, in the egocentric direction and the demand for somatic units study within the framework of linguoculture and intercultural relations. The relevance of the research work, first of all, is reflected in the fact that it is combined with the general direction of comprehensive consideration of the lexical-semantic system of language, with topical issues of studying lexical microsystems.
