Journal Title: Intercultural Communication - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The analyzed materials confi rm widespread penetration of Koran stories, myths, characters and fi gures, biblical and Koran worldview, recoding of sacred lexis’s into Kazakh folklore and the formation of new religious and mythological syncretism indicate profound changes in the mentality of the Kazakh people, caused by entry into the sphere of Islamic culture (transition to conscious religion) that up to XX century was accompanied by mixing elements of pagan (pre-Islamic) and Muslim worldview. Purpose. The article presents a fragment of complex (linguoculturological and semantic-cognitive) study of the concept Islam in Kazakh linguoculture. As exemplifi ed in the texts of Kazakh oral folk arts, in which the Muslim stories are intertwined with archaic, pre-Islamic views, the thesis about specifi c character of religious (Muslim) worldview of the Kazakhs is being proven. Methods. In the course of the study the different methods, widely used in the process of linguistic and cultural analysis of the concept, were used, in particular, the elements of contextual analysis, lexicographical and of comparative method. Results. There are a lot of different examples that show us the widespread penetration of Quranic stories, myths, images and figures, biblical-Quranic worldview into the Kazakh folklore. Recoding sacred language and the formation of new religious and mythological syncretism indicate profound changes in the mentality of the Kazakh people, due to the entry into the sphere of the Muslim culture (the transition to a conscious religion) and until the twentieth century, accompanied by mixing elements of pagan (pre-Islamic) and Muslim world views.
