Abstract

The article examines the metaphorical and metonymic interpretations of the concept “zhүrek/ chүrek” in the Kazakh and Tuvan languages. A set of meaningful conceptualization parameters has been developed to compare the two concepts against. Most of the parameters indicate the universal nature of the cognitive understanding of the anatomical concept in different languages and cultures: “zhүrek/ chүrek” is seen as a vessel for emotions; as the seat of permanent human qualities; certain colours, not necessarily related to the real colour of the internal organ, are attributed to it; it has an ability to move within the body and be made of different materials. In some parameters, there is a similarity between the Kazakh and Tuvan languages, due to the genetic commonality of the Turkic culture. Comparing the idioms from both languages demonstrates original conceptualizations of the notions of “zhүrek/ chүrek”.
