Modeling of Ethnocultural Units in the National Corpus of the Kazakh Language

The article addresses the issue of incorporating ethnocultural units identified in the National Corpus of the Kazakh Language into a specialized subcorpus. In this regard, particular attention is paid to identifying the cumulative function of ethnocultural units in preserving national identity, traditions, worldview, and the spiritual and material values embedded in the Kazakh language. The study examines the ritual “tusaukeser” as a representative example of ethnocultural nomenclature, analyzing its manifestations at the lexical, cultural-semantic, and textual-contextual levels, and elucidating its cultural code. Based on this unit, the research explores the linguistic representations of the national cultural code, as well as its symbolic meaning and pragmatic function. This, in turn, demonstrates the importance of systematizing linguistic data not only from a structural perspective but also from a content-oriented and cultural standpoint. The research employs methods of lexical-semantic analysis and modeling based on an algorithmic programming approach. The relevance of the study is determined by its focus on the digitalization of ethnocultural units, their systematization within the framework of the national corpus, the preservation of the national identity of the Kazakh language, the advancement of the unity of language and culture at a new technological level, and the expansion of the methodological framework of contemporary linguistics. The results of the study contribute to the further development of the National Corpus of the Kazakh Language, the digitalization and systematization of ethnocultural units, and the enhancement of the continuity between language and culture at a new level.
