Linguocultural Characteristic of the Concept of “Family” (Based on the Zarbulmasal)

This article explores the linguocultural characteristics of the concept of "family" in Uzbek proverbs, particularly focusing on Gulkhani's Zarbulmasal. The knowledge gap lies in the limited research on family concepts in Uzbek linguistics, despite extensive studies in Russian. The research employs a linguistic and cognitive analysis of proverbs to reveal cultural insights into family structures and relationships. Findings highlight how proverbs encapsulate national values and traditions, showing the evolution of familial roles in Uzbek society. The results emphasize the importance of proverbs in maintaining cultural heritage, with implications for preserving national identity through linguistic elements.
