Linguocultural Characteristics Of The “Bread” Cultureme In Uzbek National Traditions
Abstract
This article explores the linguocultural features of the Uzbek people's national culture, customs, rituals, and traditions associated with the concept of “bread.” Preserved throughout centuries and functioning as a distinguishing marker of Uzbek ethnoculture, the "bread" cultureme emerges as a symbol, model, and stereotype within national customs and practices. The study demonstrates how this concept operates as a linguistic and cultural constant and reflects broader sociocultural values deeply embedded in collective consciousness.
