LEXICAL-SEMANTIC VERBALIZATION OF THE FAMILY CONCEPT IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK

This article presents a comparative analysis of the lexical-semantic verbalization of the “family” concept in English and Uzbek. The study is conducted within the framework of linguacultural and cognitive approaches. Particular attention is paid to the ways in which the family concept is expressed through various lexical units, as well as to the identification of their semantic fields and evaluative components. The results of the analysis reveal both common and culture-specific features in the conceptualization of the notion of family in the two languages, reflecting the influence of cultural, social, and historical factors.
