Comparative study of the concepts of nationality and personality in english and uzbek linguocultures

This article is devoted to a comparative study of the concepts of nationality and personality in English and Uzbek linguocultures. The research is conducted within the framework of linguocultural and cognitive approaches, which consider language as a means of reflecting national consciousness and the cultural worldview. The paper examines the peculiarities of the linguistic representation of the selected concepts through lexical units, phraseological expressions, and culturally marked language means. The study identified both universal and culturally specific characteristics of the concepts under investigation. The findings demonstrate that English linguoculture is predominantly oriented toward individual values, personal autonomy, and self-realization, whereas the Uzbek linguistic worldview reflects collective cultural attitudes, social responsibility, and the significance of interpersonal relationships. The obtained results contribute to a broader understanding of the mechanisms underlying conceptual space formation across different linguocultures and may be applied in cognitive linguistics, intercultural communication, and translation studies.
