World linguistics conducts research aimed at studying linguistic units within the comparative-historical and systemic-structural paradigm. Additionally, special attention is given to the study of the anthropocentric paradigm - specifically, investigating the semantics of linguistic units based on cognitive, psycholinguistic, and pragmatic approaches. Of practical significance are the analysis of speech mechanisms, worldview, processes of reflecting existential information in linguistic consciousness, assimilation of word meanings and retention of concepts in linguistic memory, perception of object and event characteristics, semantic development of lexemes, and lexical clarification of the form-content relationship in understanding meaning through a linguacognitive approach.

This article analyzes the linguacognitive characteristics of homonyms and their usage statistics in the Uzbek and Turkish languages.
