The analysis of the semantics of phraseological units, the identification of specific phraseological meanings, the study of systemic relations between phraseological units of related and unrelated languages, the study of the most important processes of phrase formation, the study of thematic groups of phraseological units contribute to a deeper penetration into the semantic processes occurring in the phraseological unit. The study of the scientific and theoretical basis of linguistic units of the indirect nomination made it possible to determine the stratum of phraseological units of the Yakut language with components that denote spatial objects, spatial reference points such as the location of the object in the vertical and horizontal axes, object location relative to other objects, movement in space, movement in space; to identify somatic, zoonimic phraseological units with spatial semantics, as well as phraseological units that signify a temporary space for describing universals and unique spatial images of the world of the Yakut and Kazakh peoples. Of all the types of explication of space, a special place belongs to the zoonimic phraseological units of the languages being analyzed. The purpose of this work is to study the representation of the spatial image of the world in the zoonimic phraseological units of the Yakut and Kazakh languages. In the course of the work, the method of component analysis and the method of phraseological identification were used.
