A comparative study of the “tradition” concept in Uzbek and Russian linguistic frameworks
Mokhinur Sirojiddinovna Umarova , Lecturer at the Department of Russian language and literature, Bukhara State Pedagogical Institute, UzbekistanAbstract
This comparative linguistic study delves into the semantic and cultural representations of the concept of “tradition” in Uzbek and Russian languages. Employing methodologies such as semantic field analysis, cognitive linguistics, and corpus linguistics, the research elucidates how “tradition” is lexically encoded and culturally contextualized within these distinct ethno-linguistic frameworks. The findings reveal that the Uzbek term “an’ana” predominantly conveys communal and familial customs, reflecting the society’s collectivist ethos, whereas the Russian «традиция» encompasses a broader spectrum, including institutional conventions, indicative of a more centralized cultural narrative.
