The article examines the semantic space of the concept "unak/onak" (guest) in the Bashkir and Kazakh language picture of the world, which is represented by lexical units of language that determine culture, mentality, life, psychology, traditions, customs of the Bashkirs and Kazakhs. The nuclear zone of the "guest" concept is made up of language units expressing hospitality, respect for the owner, honoring the guest, etc. The periphery of the concept of "guest" includes Bashkir and Kazakh folk proverbs and sayings, phraseological units, names of Bashkir and Kazakh national dishes, rituals, holidays, traditions, etc. The author comes to the conclusion that the concept of "guest," being a fragment of the language picture of the world, is a complex, multi-layered mental education, which is of high importance for the Bashkir and Kazakh culture, since it expresses universal and specific aspects of the formation of the socio-cultural sphere of human existence. The linguistic expression of the concept of "guest" in the Bashkir and Kazakh languages ​ ​ is characterized by a variety of speech units, proverbs and sayings, phraseological means of representing the culture of hospitality (meeting, receiving, eating, seeing off guests, etc.).

Sociocultural attitudes in the self-regulation of youth's ideas about the future

The article contains the results of the third stage of the study, revealing the stability and differentiating effect of habitus (mental and modern features of national character, life positions) and migration attitudes on defining the goals that are significant for the future of the country. Based on the comparative analysis of two-dimensional distributions using the χ² statistics, it was revealed that both habitus, ascending to mental traits (love of the fatherland, mercy and compassion, love of neighbor), traditional life positions (collectivism and selflessness), and habitus, genetically associated with modern traits of national character (the desire to defend human rights, openness to everything foreign), and an active life position are stable. Habitus with a traditional value basis sharply divides the expressed carriers of the attitude and those who deny its presence in their choice of goals. Traditional attitudes underlie the construction of a more definite subjective reality of the future than modern ones. The most obvious differentiating effect is recorded in the links between the attitude of love for the fatherland and the social significance of a strong family for the future of the country; love for one's neighbor, mercy and compassion, honor, dignity, selflessness and accessible qualified health care. The semantic content of these attitudes is converted into care for neighbors and empathy for those far away, mainly concerns the satisfaction of the vital needs of health and life. They are also joined by the modern attitude of defending human rights in relation to a comfortable living space as a parameter of the image of the future. The least stable in regulating ideas about the goals of the country's future were shown by the traditional attitude of suspicion towards foreigners and modern attitudes towards the country as a place of residence, demonstrative compassion, rational and pragmatic attitude towards others and individualism. In this case, unformed attitudes have a regulating effect, which explains their instability. The attitudes of young people towards emigration, compared to attitudes towards sedentarization and internal migration, are characterized by a devaluation of key socially significant goals and values (strong family, work, education), but greater support for an active civil society as the most complete expression of agency, the possibility of real influence on the political process and making political decisions.
