This article provides a comparative-typological analysis of the semantic categories inherent in nouns in Uzbek and English. As a result of the analysis, taking into account typological data, both similarities and differences between languages are revealed. From this perspective, the comparison explains which categories express the semantics of a noun and how they manifest in the languages being studied. This approach not only reveals the differences between the two languages but also contributes to establishing common principles of semantic systems. The research results can be useful in the field of linguistic theory, applied linguistics, and translation.

The concept of semantic category, that is, the types of meanings expressed in language, is considered on the example of lexical units, in particular, nouns. The study examines the following semantic categories.
