Abstract 
The object of this research is phraseological units (PU) dealing with the sphere of human mental activity. The 
existence of active, productive components, such as somatisms, is characteristic for component structure of the 
phraseological units characterizing "mental activity of a person". In this paper, we discuss the PU of the studied 
phraseosemantic field, including component-somatism bass/tête and zhurek/coeur which in their turn brightly reflect 
a linguistic view of the Kazakh and French world. Conclusions are drawn about the universal nature and a national 
originality of PU. Practical importance of such studies is very topical in teaching languages to a foreign-language 
audience, in teaching comparative linguistics, when developing thematic dictionaries, in teaching theory and 
practice of translation. Research of this type is closely connected with psycholinguistic problems of teaching the 
language facts and phenomena that are especially relevant for cognitive and comparative analysis.
