Contrastive-comparative, ethical, linguistic and cognitive analysis of ethical concepts "Imandylyk" and "Imansyzdyk" (on the material of Abay's works)

Abstract

  The article presents a research study on the ethical concepts of "Imandylyk" and "Imansyzdyk" within the fields of contrastive-comparative linguistics, ethical lingvo-ecology, expansionism, and functionalism. By exploring contrastive ethical concepts, evaluating their ethical aspects, and conducting cognitive and discursive analyses of Abai's works, several outcomes were achieved. The research offers insights into the characterization of ethical concepts, their values, and their roles in shaping moral development or undermining personal values. The study's significance lies in its potential contribution to the advancement of contrastive-comparative linguistics and ethical lingvo-ecology, as well as enhancing the application of an integral methodological paradigm to cognitive linguistics. The objective of the research is to examine these concepts within the ethical conceptosphere of Abai's works as representative values and anti-values of Kazakh culture. The scientific significance of the study lies in the ethical and non-ethical descriptions of the value concepts of "Imandylyk" and "Imansyzdyk". The practical significance is attributed to the methodology employed, encompassing complex methods such as contrastive-comparative analysis, conceptual analysis, and the ethical and linguistic method. The research adopts an integral methodological paradigm rooted in anthropocentrism, expansionism, and functionalism.
