This article considers the toponymic space as a cognitive basis for the manifestations of national linguistic consciousness. Special attention is paid to mythotoponyms, the structure of which contains mythological and symbolic-cultural elements reflecting the peculiarities of national worldview. By analysing and comparing mythotoponyms of Kazakh and English languages, the characteristic features of the national picture of the world, reflected in toponymy, are revealed. The aim of the study is to examine the mythotoponyms of Kazakh and English languages as a result of cognitive processes that form the image of the world in the minds of the speakers of these languages. As a result of the study, the mythical nature of Kazakh and English toponyms and new perspectives are proposed that allow us to understand the cultural values and worldview of each people. As a result of the study, through a cognitive comparative analysis of Kazakh and English mythoponomies, the national worldview features of the two peoples were identified.
