ELEMENTS OF NATURE «EARTH», «AIR» AND «FIRE»:SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LINGUACULTURES
Abstract
The scientific article investigates the elements of nature - earth, air, and fire - within the context of English and Uzbek linguacultures, highlighting both similarities and differences in their representation and significance. By examining linguistic expressions, folklore, and cultural beliefs related to these elements, we uncover how each culture imbues these natural components with unique meanings while also recognizing shared human connections to the environment. The research reveals that while both cultures celebrate the foundational role of these elements in life and spiritual activities, they diverge in their symbolic interpretations and associated rituals. Ultimately, this comparative analysis enhances our understanding of how language and culture shape perceptions of the natural world, providing insights into broader themes of human experience and ecological awareness.
