Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study investigates how cultural contexts contribute to the formation and development of lexical layers in English and Uzbek. The research focuses on culturally specific vocabulary—terms related to traditions, religion, and daily life—and examines how such lexicon reflects the values and worldviews of each speech community. By applying comparative and descriptive linguistic methods, the paper highlights both similarities and differences in lexical stratification, offering insights into how language mirrors culture. The study contributes to cross-cultural linguistics and supports deeper understanding language teaching.
