COGNITIVE AND LINGUOCULTURAL ANALYSIS OF UZBEK AND ENGLISH LEXEMES OF ETIQUETTE
Abstract
The study of etiquette lexemes holds significant importance in understanding the cognitive and cultural frameworks that underlie human communication. This article explores the cognitive and linguocultural characteristics of etiquette lexemes in Uzbek and English languages, emphasizing their role in maintaining social harmony and reflecting cultural values. Using cognitive semantics and cultural linguistics as theoretical frameworks, this study highlights both similarities and differences in the conceptualization and usage of these lexemes. Examples are provided to illustrate linguistic nuances and cultural practices.
