The article examines the study of the concept of “cultural worldview” in linguistics, including methods for studying the linguistic expression of the ethnic perspective. It argues that the formation of information about this concept, organized in the mind of a nation before it is expressed through language, is composed of various worldviews. Human knowledge is intrinsically linked to the environment, nation, state, surrounding nature, religion, national values, and cultural traditions. It is impossible to conceive of this knowledge independently from its context or create a discrete worldview. Therefore, the article explains, using examples, that in the environment where the collective image common to an ethnos is formed, the ethnic image is also formed. The linguistic representation of the Kazakh ethnic worldview is explained step-by-step. The study finds that the presence of ethno-marked units in the language system is a key feature in the formation of ethno-cultural knowledge. Additionally, the effectiveness of using socio-philosophical, cultural, symbolic, and semantic research methods to determine the verbalization of the ethnic worldview is demonstrated. Ethnomarking of material cultural names, precedent names, mythological names and concepts, and zoomorphic and phytonymic names are among the elements that constitute the Kazakh ethnic worldview.
