LINGUOCULTURAL DIFFERENCES IN THE PERCEPTION OF THE CONCEPT "HOME" IN RUSSIAN AND UZBEK CULTURES

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the linguocultural differences in the perception of the concept "home" in Russian and Uzbek languages. A comparative analysis of the semantic content of the concept, its reflection in phraseological units, and the cultural-historical context of its formation is carried out. The study revealed that in Russian, "home" is associated with individualism, family comfort, and privacy, whereas in Uzbek culture, it symbolizes collectivism and hospitality. The methods of linguocultural analysis and semantic interpretation were applied in the research. The results emphasize the significance of cultural traditions in shaping the national linguistic worldview and contribute to enhancing intercultural dialogue.
