Frame structure of mental vocabulary of the Kazakh language

Abstract

The frame structure of the mental vocabulary in the Kazakh language is considered in this article by comparing the lexical-semantic groups of verbs in the Kazakh and other Turkic languages. Their semantic field is analyzed based on semantic, functional, emotional and expressive features of verbs in the Kazakh language. When defining thematic groups, particularly, verbs that nominate the spheres of mentality, the authors use as a basis the main features, meanings and functions in the context, as well as the functional characteristics of each word. Particular emphasis is placed on the fact that the main feature of the verb is clearly seen in its semantics. The authors classify the verbs of the Kazakh language into eight groups depending on the features of the semantic field. Taking into account the issue of the complexity of verbal semantics in linguistics, it is concluded that the classification of the meanings of mental verbs is very difficult; the definition of its essence and grouping according to their semantics is also a complex linguistic phenomenon, therefore the proposed classification may be conditional and cannot completely solve the problem of classification of mental verbs.
