This article examines the linguistic representation of the "knowledge" concept within the framework of cognitive linguistics, one of the most pressing areas of modern linguistics. Lexical units, phraseological expressions, and proverbs representing the notion of "knowledge" in Uzbek and English are selected as the object of research. The article provides a comparative-typological analysis of the attitudes of speakers of both languages toward intellectual activity. As a result of the analysis, the national-cultural characteristics, similarities, and differences of the "knowledge" concept are identified. The findings of the research serve as a theoretical resource for specialists working in the fields of cognitive linguistics and translation studies.
