Formation of Linguocultural Direction in Uzbek Linguistics

Abstract

Today, linguo-cultural studies are one of the main branches of anthropocentric direction, one of the leading paradigms in world linguistics. Linguo-cultural studies are the study of the relationship and influence of language with culture, ethnos, and national mentality on the basis of anthropocentric paradigm principles. The serious and systematic implementation of linguo-cultural analysis of language in Uzbek linguistics began in the second decade of the XXI century. During this period, linguo-culturalism began to take shape as a separate branch of Uzbek linguistics. Anthropocentric views of language played an important role in the formation of this industry. As a result of the linguo-cultural approach to language units, research has emerged that reflects new perspectives. In them, the Uzbek language units were studied in harmony with the mentality, national outlook and psyche of the people. The article analyzes the ideas put forward in these studies, identifies the stages of formation of Uzbek linguo-cultural studies and highlights their most important features.
