This article examines language as a means of representing ethnocultural meanings based on the material of the English and Uzbek languages. The main focus is placed not on external cultural realia, but on internal linguistic units through which national worldview, value systems, social hierarchy, communicative distance, and moral evaluation are expressed. The analysis of Uzbek concepts such as andisha, hayo, oriyat, oqibat, ko‘ngil, yuz, gap-so‘z, egachi, quda, ovsin, boja, fotiha, rozi-rizolik and English concepts such as privacy, personal boundaries, understatement, self-reliance, and fair play reveals specific features of the ethnocultural consciousness of the two peoples. The theoretical basis of the research is formed by the works of Russian and Uzbek linguists in the fields of linguoculturology, ethnolinguistics, cognitive linguistics, and intercultural communication. The article concludes that language not only reflects culture but also fixes ways of social evaluation, speech behavior, and interpretation of human relations.
