This article was retracted: Abay's Ideas on Mentality

Abstract

Despite the fact that the mentality has a strong influence on the language, linguistic vocabulary deviates from the linguistic object if the linguist tracks the language. In addition, language is not a direct photographic depiction of the mentality. Therefore, the vocabulary of mentality should be considered only as a small part of the big humanitarian problem as a whole. However, this time in our article we restrict ourselves to an analysis of Abay's arguments regarding the psyche. We are well aware of the views of the West and Russians on the relationship of mentality and language. It's no secret that we are following in their footsteps. However, since
the inventory of what is on our earth has a great influence on the natural development of science, its authenticity, we tried to interpret the language and mentality in this way. From this point of view, the origins of the question of the relationship between reason and language in Kazakh linguistics can be seen in Abay.
