The image of a dog holds a special place in the culture and mythology of many peoples. This study examines how the dog became a sacred symbol associated with the afterworld, ancestral land, and subterranean realms. Using mythological texts, archaeological data, and linguistic analysis, the research identifies unique cultural and universal patterns in stable expressions about dogs in Kazakh and English. The study employs S. Qondybay's mytholinguistic method and comparative analysis to uncover the sacred and symbolic meanings of these expressions. The findings reveal that the dog is often seen as a guardian of the afterlife and a protector of human souls. The research highlights how specific cultural and linguistic features—unique to certain ethnic groups—are preserved in language. It also demonstrates the continuity of ancient mythological beliefs in modern expressions and rituals. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the connection between language, culture, and mythology, offering new perspectives for mytholinguistic and cultural research.

The aim of the studyis to identify the national and cultural features of the concept of "qonaqjailylyq" (hospitality) within the Kazakh linguistic worldview. To achieve this aim, methods of conceptual analysis, lexicographical research, and a free associative experiment involving 109 respondents were employed. The research is based on the analysis of lexicographical data, examples from literary texts, and the results of the associative experiment, which made it possible to reveal the key semantic and symbolic meanings of the studied concept. The findings indicate that hospitality in Kazakh culture encompasses material, emotional, and ritual elements, reflecting key national values such as respect, generosity, and warmth. The concept of "qonaqjailylyq" is closely linked to the traditions and cultural code of the Kazakh people and retains its significance in contemporary contexts. The study highlights the importance of hospitality as a component of intercultural communication and national identity, offering new approaches to its investigation.
