THE ROLE OF LINGUOCULTUROLOGY IN COMPARING LANGUAGES OF DIFFERENT SYSTEMS (WITH REFERENCE TO ENGLISH AND UZBEK)
Abstract
In an increasingly globalized world, understanding languages goes beyond grammar and vocabulary—it involves delving into the cultural and cognitive frameworks behind them. This is where linguoculturology, an interdisciplinary field at the intersection of linguistics and cultural studies, plays a crucial role. It enables a more nuanced comparison of languages, especially those belonging to different language families and typological systems. This article explores the significance of linguoculturology in comparing English, a Germanic Indo-European language, and Uzbek, a Turkic language, and how cultural context shapes linguistic expression in both.
