Abstract

Linguistics deals with the problem of onomastics, the object of research is
zoonimic names. From the scientific point of view, the peculiarities of the study, partial
classification of zoonimic names have been demonstrated. Several reasons for the insufficient study
of this field in the language have been identified. Internal and external extralinguistic factors have
been singled out in the consideration of zoonim names. The ethnolinguistic nature of zoonymic
names in the Kazakh language, especially those related to animal names, has been analyzed.
Zoonymic names are of great importance in our language as one of the ways of defining national
identity and worldview. We can notice that the names of four cattle of our people contain certain
ethno-cultural information. The basis of national peculiarities in zoonimic names originates from
Turkic cognition and is also manifested in the language of modern Turkic peoples. By considering
the semantic ethnocultural character of each of the zoonimic names, we can make a huge
contribution to modern ethnolinguistic science. Today it is known that the science of language
develops in an external extra-linguistic direction rather than an internal factor.
By taking each name in a language as national-cultural information, we can look into the past
and present of our language. Zoonymic names are also very rich in linguistic units that convey
information from our national existence. Therefore, the study of this area complements the field of
etymology, ethnolinguistics. The issues discussed in the article contribute to the future development
of the ethnolinguistic branch of language science.
