Abstract

This paper explores linguo-associative units as key cognitive and cultural structures in the semantic field theory of linguistics. Emphasizing their role in the organization of the mental lexicon, the study reveals how these units help structure thought, language acquisition, and communication. By comparing Uzbek and English associative patterns, it also highlights how cultural differences shape semantic groupings. The research integrates corpus data, associative tests, and theoretical perspectives to support its claims.
