Abstract

This article examines the verbalisation of the concept CHILD / BALA in English and Karakalpak using contrastive lexicographic and cognitive-semantic analysis. Data from English explanatory dictionaries and Qaraqalpaq tiliniń túsindirme sózligi reveal a differentiated English lexical system and a BALA-centred Karakalpak structure, highlighting universal semantic features, cultural specificity, and linguocultural conceptualisation patterns of childhood representation in both languages.
