The Yakut language is a Turkic language of the Uyghur group. It has a special place among the Turkic languages due to its archaic nature and unique characteristics of vocabulary and grammar. It is distinct from related Turkic languages by abundance of Mongolian parallels. Figurative verbs take a special place among Mongolian loanwords in Yakut due to their quantitative prevalence and specific nature as compared to other sections of Yakut vocabulary. It is of great importance to study Yakut-Mongolian contacts further to reveal the historical development of the Yakut language. The purpose of this study is to find common and specific semantic characteristics of Yakut figurative verbs and their Mongolian parallels. It is the first study to undertake this comparison. Verbs with figurative meaning borrowed from Mongolian are studied by example of verbs denoting parts of human body in comparison to their Mongolian parallels. Common and specific features are revealed in terms of semantics. 20 percent of linguistic units fully coincide. Concretization of word semantics in Yakut shows a high rate. It has also been revealed that Mongolian loanwords with figurative meaning are involved in description of practically all parts of body, thus forming a separate microsystem of somatisms in the Yakut verbal system.

The article analyzes metaphors in the linguistic image of the world using the description of the sky (айыы) and underground (абаасы), mythical creatures represented in phraseological units with numbers in T.V. Zakharov-Chääbij's Epic (2018) "Bulkun Wing the Hero". Compositional analysis, context analysis and the method of phraseological identification were used. The general method of investigation is induction-deduction, with theoretical conclusions drawn from the analysis of the material. The study of the linguistic image of the world in the Yakut epic Olonkho provides insight into the hidden creative process of an Olonkho narrator that recreates the structured and almost canonized oral tradition embedded in his repertoire. Phraseological units (PU) with a numerical component reflect a specific worldview through two opposing forces. PU animates the epic image of the world, representing a unique and rich language, and preserving the distant world of ancestors for us and future generations

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.
