AXIOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE LEXICOLOGY OF THE ENGLISH AND UZBEKISTAN LANGUAGES

Abstract

This study investigates the axiological aspects of the lexicons of English and Uzbek, focusing on how evaluative meanings reflect cultural values, social norms, and collective priorities. Using semantic, cognitive, and linguo-cultural analysis, the research identifies and categorizes axiological lexical units, including adjectives, nouns, verbs, and phraseological expressions. The findings reveal both universal values, such as honesty and kindness, and culture-specific patterns: Uzbek emphasizes communal, moral, and social values, often implicitly, while English highlights individualistic and explicit evaluations. The study demonstrates the importance of cultural context in language use and provides insights for cross-cultural communication, translation, and foreign language teaching.
