CULTURAL CODES IN THE UZBEK NATIONAL LINGUISTIC WORLDVIEW: RELIGIOUS-MYTHOLOGICAL, MATERIAL, AND ONOMASTIC LEXICON

Abstract

This article examines cultural connotations embedded in the Uzbek national linguistic worldview through religious-mythological, verbal-ritual, material-cultural, and onomastic lexical units. The study analyzes the linguocultural meanings of such concepts as baraka (divine blessing), savob (spiritual merit), hadith, duo (prayer), and curse, demonstrating that they reflect the transcendental worldview, ethical values, and collective beliefs of the Uzbek people. The research further explores lexical units associated with everyday life, including household objects, traditional clothing, jewelry, and national cuisine, as manifestations of the material cultural code. Particular attention is given to onomastic units—anthroponyms, toponyms, and ideonyms—which preserve historical memory, national symbolism, and cultural identity.
