LINGUOCULTURAL ANALYSIS OF UZBEK LEXEMES OF ETIQUETTE

Abstract

The study of lexemes associated with etiquette in the Uzbek language reveals a profound interplay between linguistic structures and cultural norms. This article investigates the linguistic and cultural aspects embedded in the expressions of politeness, respect, and social interaction in Uzbek. Drawing from examples of greetings, honorifics, and politeness markers, the analysis demonstrates how these lexemes reflect the values and traditions of Uzbek society. Particular emphasis is placed on the influence of Islam, kinship dynamics, and hospitality norms. The article also considers generational, regional, and global influences on the use and evolution of these lexemes.
