Abstract

This study explores English, German, and Kazakh similes, focusing on their linguistic structures, cultural significance, and communicative functions. Similes are a fascinating aspect of language that adds depth and color to communication. They are unique expressions that combine familiar elements in unexpected ways, often drawing on cultural references and linguistic creativity. In this article, we will consider similes' lexical and semantic features in three diverse languages: English, German, and Kazakh. By examining how these languages utilize similes for various purposes, we can gain insight into the nuances of their respective cultures and linguistic structures. The comparison of similes across these languages will not only highlight similarities and differences but also shed light on the rich tapestry of expressions that exist within each language. Through this exploration, we aim to deepen our understanding of how language shapes perception and thought, showcasing the beauty and complexity of similes in English, German, and Kazakh. Analyzing and comparing the structural and semantic systems of similes in different English, German, and Kazakh languages in terms of their genetic and typological structure in this matter, determines the unique features of each language.
