Linguoculturological Conceptualization Of Language, Text, And Meaning In English And Uzbek Discourses

Rafael Monteiro , University of Lisbon, Portugal

Abstract

Linguoculturology has emerged as one of the most influential interdisciplinary paradigms in contemporary linguistics, integrating cultural studies, cognitive linguistics, semiotics, and discourse analysis in order to explain how language encodes, preserves, and transmits culturally significant meanings. This article explores the theoretical, methodological, and applied dimensions of linguoculturology through a systematic and in depth engagement with the foundational and applied works of Sabitova, Telia, Nurmonov, Mahmudov, Maslova, Slyshkin, Pimenova, Salieva, Artemova, Mohiraxon, and Tursunboeva. Drawing on both Russian and Central Asian traditions of linguistic thought, the study investigates how linguistic units such as words, phraseological expressions, texts, and discourse function as carriers of national and cultural conceptualizations. Particular emphasis is placed on the notion of concept as the central analytical category of linguoculturology, and on the role of precedent texts, symbolic language, and culturally marked expressions in shaping collective consciousness. Using a qualitative, text based comparative approach, the article examines how English and Uzbek linguistic systems encode cultural values through conceptual structures, phraseology, metaphor, and stylistic devices. The methodology integrates theoretical synthesis, interpretive analysis of linguistic data, and comparative discourse evaluation. The findings demonstrate that linguistic meaning cannot be adequately explained without reference to culturally embedded conceptual frameworks, and that both English and Uzbek exhibit rich systems of cultural coding that reflect their historical experiences, social norms, and worldview structures. The discussion situates these findings within broader debates in humanities and social sciences, highlighting implications for translation, education, intercultural communication, and professional language training. The article concludes that linguoculturology offers a powerful framework for understanding language as a cultural phenomenon and provides a necessary bridge between linguistic form and human experience.
