Abstract

The article explores the perception of the concept of wealth in the worldviews of unrelated peoples, as reflected in works written in Kazakh and English. Linguistic consciousness represents the worldview of a people through language and linguistic stereotypes. By studying and comparing Kazakh and English literature, we gain the opportunity to broaden our understanding of both languages, customs, and the history of the cultures, while also appreciating folk wisdom and universal moral values. The concept of wealth is explored through the works of Kazakh writer G. Musirepov's novel "Ulpan" and American author Margaret Mitchell's "Gone with the Wind." The lexical units representing the concept of wealth are structured into the core, near periphery, and far periphery. The concept is often defined by language units denoting material values. The analysis concludes that in the Anglo-American worldview, the concept of wealth is primarily associated with material aspects. Comparing the two literatures fosters mutual understanding and promotes the study of cultural values.
