Abstract

Phraseologisms in the Kazakh language are an active linguistic unit that is used to describe the national mentality, moral qualities, feelings, emotions, human behavior. In modern linguistics, the study of phraseological units in the anthropocentric direction is relevant. The article analyzes scientific opinions about expressive and pragmatic functions, semantic field and thematic groupological units, as well as the evaluative component of phraseological units denoting human qualities. Taking into account the peculiarities of
phraseologisms characterizing a person's personal qualities, character traits, facial traits, body having expressive-emotional assessment, the author grouped them into three groups according to the value of positive, negative and neutral assessment, expressing positive and negative human traits, and classified them into internal semantic subgroups. The results of the study showed that the number of phraseological units denoting a person with a positive evaluative component is greater than with a negative evaluative component, and phraseological units with a neutral evaluative component are even smaller. It has been proved that phraseological units of neutral assessment depend on the context, and based on its meaning, they can acquire positive or negative assessments
