THE CONCEPT "WOMAN" IN THE LINGUOCULTURAL PARADIGM OF THE ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

This article examines the linguistic representation of the concept “woman” in English and Uzbek within the frameworks of cognitive semantics and linguocultural studies. The aim of the research is to compare the nominative layers of the concept, its metaphorical models, and its representation in paremiological units. The methodology includes componential analysis, conceptual metaphor theory, contextual analysis, and a comparative approach. The scientific novelty lies in the integrated description of the concept’s value indicators and its discursive profile based on the material of two languages.
