ARTISTIC AND SEMANTIC CHARACTERISTICS OF LINGUOCULTUREMES IN THE WORKS OF TOG‘AY MUROD

The article examines the artistic-aesthetic and semantic features of linguocultural units in the prose of Togay Murad from anthropocentric and linguocultural perspectives. The analysis focuses on culturally marked lexical units, phraseological expressions, proverbs, ethnographic terms, kinship vocabulary and symbolic images found in the novel “Otamdan qolgan dalalar” and the writer’s short prose. The study shows that such units as land, field, father, mother, horse, wrestler, wedding, blessing, honor and homeland function not only as nominative words but also as linguocultural signs embodying historical memory, ethical norms, social experience and emotional evaluation. These units contribute to characterization, strengthen the national spirit of the text, reveal its socio-historical background and shape the writer’s individual style.
