The article describes lexical, semantic and linguocultural features of the Khakas, Buryat and Khanty phraseological units with the “heart” component. As a significant and basic fragment of the phraseological picture of the world, this layer of the lexical system is formed on the basis of the cultural and ideological competence of the ethnos. The universal feature of somatic phraseological understanding, which has received a figurative expression in the Khakass, Buryat and Khanty linguistic cultures, is that the heart symbolizes not only “a reservoir of experienced emotions and innermost thoughts”, but also the absolute center of everything connected with the human being. At the same time, each of the languages studied contains the national specifics of seeing the world through an associative image of the heart. In Khanty, it is body’s physical need, in Buryat it is a container filled with liquid that can spill over. While experiencing positive emotions, in Khakas, the heart goes up but in Khanty, it falls down and oil flows down it.
