The Linguocultural Comparative Aspect of the Concept of Time in English and Uzbek Languages
Main Article Content
Abstract
A deep theoretical and linguistic conceptualization of the concept of time requires a comparative study of communicative behavior and cognitive dynamics. In recent trends in the study of time, this approach is clearly visible in emphasizing the role of linguistic material for revealing modal-status meanings, for the systematics of ethno-cultural stereotypes. In this study, it is aimed to describe the national components, as well as linguistically research the characteristics of time as an image in artistic texts. The concept of time essentially applies to everyone regardless of religion, nationality, or region. Time, as a concept, regulates the entire system of human worldview. On the other hand, it is considered the most important and the most ancient concept, which is the basis for the characteristic conceptual form of the society. Certain methods are used to verbalize a defined or desired concept. In particular, studying the rate of formation and development of that concept in the language helps to determine the importance of this concept in the hierarchy of social values. In addition, comparing the common features of this concept with other concepts, dialects and sister languages, it will be possible to observe how ancient and valuable it is. That's why in the article, tasks such as analyzing the relationship between language speakers, their worldview and national character are defined in the understanding of time.
As a result of this scientific work, it will be possible to determine the unique cultural characteristics of Uzbek and English societies by analyzing the concept of time from a linguistic and cultural point of view. Time, like space, has an objective, universal and general character, it is inseparable from matter. Time is a continuous sequence of events. Time is one of the main categories of existence, and its linguistic interpretation is a way of explaining reality that reflects a universal and national character. One of the most complex, controversial and interesting considerations for the concept of time can be made by studying its linguistic and cultural characteristics.
