LINGUICOGNITIVE PROPERTIES OF THE CONCEPT OF “PERSON” IN SPANISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

Abstract

In contemporary linguistics, the study of concepts has become one of the leading approaches for understanding the interrelation between language, thought, and culture. Conceptual analysis enables researchers to identify how language reflects national identity and social consciousness. Among anthropocentric concepts, “shaxs/persona” occupies a central position because it represents an individual not only as a biological being but also as a social, moral, and psychological entity.
