This thesis investigates the connotative meanings of English and Uzbek languages, emphasizing their cultural, historical, and linguistic significance. Connotation, as opposed to denotation, conveys emotional, cultural, and situational overtones that differ between languages. While English has a wide range of implications due to its global reach and numerous language borrowings, Uzbek reflects well ingrained customs, social conventions, and historical circumstances. This study uses comparative analysis to investigate the variations and similarities in connotative meanings, stressing how cultural perception impacts language. The findings help to advance cross-cultural understanding and practical applications in translation, language instruction, and intercultural communication.
