Abstract
Comparative analysis of zoonyms, primarily the description of the national language picture of the world, is of undoubted scientific interest. After all, the comparison of any languages serves as the basis for identifying three main qualities such as commonness, similarity and difference. The article analyzes one of the most ancient images of the Kazakh and Turkish culture - the zoosymbol "wolf" through proverbs. Proverbs are a kind of oral literature with the accumulated life experience of the people. They help to understand better the national identity, interests, attitudes, lifestyle and traditions of the people who created these proverbs. The study of this type of folklore gives a deeper understanding of the characteristics and relationship of different cultures.Proverbs about animals make up a large layer in the paremiological fund of different peoples and are distinguished by great thematic diversity. The main task of the entire structure of proverbs as a whole is to show the thoughts of the people in a complete, concise and clear form. Proverbs about animals are an example of archaic brevity and figurativeness. On the basis of proverbs about wolves in the Kazakh and Turkish languages, the ethno-cultural content of the zoonym "wolf" is determined, and a comparative analysis characterizes the complete preservation of the common Turkic line in the worldview of the two peoples. The article analyzes the contextual semantics of the Kazakh zoonym "wolf" and its Turkish equivalents in proverbs. The purpose of the study is to determine the features of the linguistic representation of the concept "wolf" in the Kazakh and Turkish languages by means of a comparative analysis. As a result of the analysis, metaphorical meanings with positive and negative connotations were revealed. The semantic similarities and differences of proverbs associated with the zoonym "wolf" in the Kazakh and Turkish languages are considered.
