Abstract

This article explores how food-related vocabulary reflects and preserves cultural values in Uzbek and English-speaking societies through the lens of linguoculturology. By analyzing lexical items, idiomatic expressions, and cultural practices associated with food, the study reveals the symbolic and communicative functions of food terms in both languages. The comparative analysis highlights how linguistic representations of food serve as vehicles for expressing identity, social relationships, and philosophical worldviews. The findings underscore the role of food vocabulary as a repository of cultural meaning, reinforcing the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in understanding language and culture.
