COMMON AND DISTINCTIVE LINGUOCULTURAL FEATURES OF THE CONCEPTS OF NATION AND PERSONALITY IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK

Abstract

The article examines the common and distinctive linguocultural features of the concepts of nation and personality in English and Uzbek. The relevance of the study is determined by the growing interest in intercultural communication, cognitive linguistics, and linguoculturology, as well as the need to identify the nationally specific features of the linguistic worldview. The aim of the work is to identify similarities and differences in the verbalization of the concepts of nation and personality in the two linguocultures. The study employs methods of conceptual, semantic, and comparative analysis. The results show that, despite the presence of universal characteristics, these concepts have pronounced national-cultural specificity, reflecting the value orientations of English and Uzbek societies.
