Keywords:
Landscape terms, structural analysis, semantic analysis, Uzbek language, linguistic comparison, morphological structure, syntactic structure, lexical composition, cultural perceptionsAbstract
This article explores the structural and semantic characteristics of landscape terms in Uzbek and English, analyzing their linguistic, cultural, and cognitive dimensions. The study examines the morphological and syntactic structures of these terms, focusing on how they reflect the natural environment and cultural perceptions of landscapes in both languages. A comparative approach is employed to highlight similarities and differences in the lexical composition, metaphorical usage, and semantic nuances of landscape terminology. By integrating insights from linguistics and cultural studies, the research sheds light on how language embodies environmental realities and cultural values. The findings contribute to cross-linguistic studies of landscape lexicons and provide a framework for understanding the interplay between language, culture, and nature.
