Modern linguistic research emphasizes the national and cultural aspects of language, recognizing it as an integral part of culture that reflects historical insights into a nation’s mentality and the dynamics of linguistic community development. In this context, phraseological units serve as a significant source of cultural information, embodying traditions, rituals, and stable models of world perception. Their interpretation is a cognitive process of decoding that reveals deeper cultural meanings. This study aims to examine the pragmatic potential of phraseological units and their role in conveying authorial intentions in 20th-century Kazakh literature. The research focuses on uncovering the relationship between the systemic meaning of phraseological expressions and their situational interpretations within texts. It also analyzes their cognitive and cultural content. The methodological framework of the study includes the phraseological description method, discourse analysis, the cognitive-discursive approach, and pragmatic-stylistic analysis. The materials analyzed comprise literary works by Kazakh writers Magauin, Zhumadilov, and Bokey, who are renowned for their vivid and figurative language. The findings reveal that phraseological expressions in the texts perform both communicative and cultural functions. They reflect national identity, worldview, and the authors’ individual styles. It was found that the transformation of phraseological units through context and modifications enhances their aesthetic impact. This transformation provides deeper insights into the authors’ personalities and artistic intentions. The conclusions underscore the importance of phraseological units as tools of literary creativity. They not only enrich texts stylistically but also convey emotional and evaluative meanings, facilitating the understanding of the embedded cultural codes. Copyright
