Blessings, comparative analysis, worldviewAbstract
This study presents a comparative analysis of Uzbek and English blessings from a linguocultural perspective. The research examines their semantic structure, cultural symbolism, connection with national values, and role in communicative etiquette. Although both traditions share universal themes such as wishing prosperity, health, and protection, they differ in imagery, stylistic forms, and metaphorical patterns that reflect each nation’s worldview. The comparative methodology reveals both common human concepts and culturally specific features embedded in the linguistic identity of Uzbek and English communities.
