GENDER FEATURES OF THE CONCEPT "MIND" IN THE SYSTEM OF THE TURKIC INTELLECTUAL CONCEPTOSPHERE

Abstract

On the basis of following the achievements of such sciences as cognitology, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics aimed at studying human existence, the direction of gender linguistics has been developing at a special pace in Kazakh linguistics over the past 20 years. Gender factors in language served as the basis for determining the relationship between a person and linguistic existence using the methodology of these sciences. Including the study of the intellectual conceptual sphere of a person from the point of view of gender characteristics – will certainly contribute to the methodological sphere of Kazakh gender linguistics.

The purpose of this study is to define the Turkic intellectual conceptosphere in terms of gender characteristics of men and women based on the concept of "mind". The article examines the gender features of the concept of "mind" in the Turkic languages on the basis of proverbs and phraseological units. Proverbs and phraseological units reflecting gender semantics are taken as the object of research, and their cognitive models of gender character are determined. In the course of the study, in addition to general scientific and theoretical methods (such as description, interpretation, systematization, comparison), special methods such as generalization and sorting of research materials, semantic classification and grouping, statistical analysis, component analysis of meaning, cognitive modeling, and the method of opposition were used.

The studied concept of "mind" is undoubtedly an urgent problem, which is considered comprehensively from the point of view of cognitive analysis, intellectual conceptosphere, gender linguistics and Turkic linguistics. The characterization of the concept "mind", which is the nuclear part of the Turkic intellectual conceptosphere, from the point of view of gender factors emphasizes the relevance of the study.

As a result of the study, it was found that the concept of "mind" as a semantic macropole distinguishes semantic cluster micro-supports in its composition and, as a linguocultural and cognitive category, in the process of including gender factors, turns out to be among the categories of gender linguistics. In the conclusion of the analysis, it is formulated that the identified cognitive models of the concept of "mind" determine the features of gender existence in the Turkic linguoculture of this concept. 

Such studies are important for the further study and development of the gender and intellectual conceptual sphere of the Turkic languages and are necessary for the scientific study of the conceptual sphere of the Turkic languages from the point of view of the national code, ethnic character, linguistic cognition of our cultural and social identity.
