Abstract

This study examines the ethnographisms used in the Navoi region of Uzbekistan from a linguoculturological perspective. Ethnographisms—words that denote culture-specific objects, practices, and traditions—offer valuable insight into how language encodes national and regional identities. Drawing on field data from rural districts of Navoi, this paper explores how local ethnographisms reflect the lifestyle, worldview, and value systems of the Uzbek people. The analysis reveals that these culturally loaded words serve not only as linguistic units but also as carriers of intangible cultural heritage.
