ABSTRACT
One of the current topics of modern linguistics is the concept. This is one of the important categories of linguistic and
cultural studies. In this article, the study of these two areas of the concept topic will be investigated. Although the
concept concept is a general term for linguistics and culture, it means two different concepts for both disciplines.
KEYWORDS
Cognitive linguistics, cognitive grammar, linguistic culture, concept, concept, paradigm.
INTRODUCTION
In world linguistics, the linguistic representation of the
world and its main structure, the "concept", is realized
in modern linguistics in connection with the function of
the language, the development of the culture of a
certain nation, and requires conducting scientific and
theoretical research within the framework of this
problem. In particular, the identification of the corpus
of language units as a component of the concept in
different linguistic cultures, the reflection and
verbalization of the concept in the image of the
linguistic landscape of the compared languages makes
it possible to coordinate intercultural communication.
The development of the anthropocentric paradigm
increases the need for research on the linguistic tools
of the language, the effectiveness of the word, the
linguistic image of the world and its place in the
formation of its basic structure, rather than the natural
existence in a comparative and comparative aspect. In
most cases, the issue of the relationship between

connection between the common (universal) and
specific features in the understanding of the existence
of the representatives of different linguistic and
cultural traditions.
THE MAIN RESULTS AND FINDINGS
Since the beginning of the 21st century, analysis with
the help of linguocultural, linguocognitological,
sociolinguistic and psycholinguistic principles has
increased. In particular, the date of emergence of
linguo-cognitology, which deals with human cognitive
activity, is recognized as 1956. At the moment, the
anthropocentric approach to language embodies the
latest achievements of the field of linguistics and is
increasingly strengthening its status as an independent
paradigm. According to many researchers, cognitive
linguistics and linguoculturalism are the leading
directions of the anthropocentric paradigm. A.
Abduazizov said that the centre of complex
phenomena such as formation, transmission, and
conscious storage of speech is carried out through
brain neurons. By differentiating the form and content
of different units in the language, using different
concepts, frames, and defining national-cultural and
social characteristics, phonological tools are of great
service for each nation or ethnic group. Human
language is "voiced" and its great importance in
creating content is studied in cognitive phonetics and
phonology, so it should be recognized as the main
component of cognitive linguistics. Cognitive
linguistics, which took its first steps in the last quarter
of the last century, managed to become one of the
leading fields of linguistics at the beginning of the 21st
century. The emergence of modern cognitive
linguistics is connected with the scientific works of
American scientists J. Miller, J. Bruner, J. Lakoff, R.
Langaker, R. Jackendoff and others. By the end of the
20th century, a new field of linguistics -
linguoculturalology - developed rapidly, aiming to
study the problem of language and culture. Linguistics
is a general science between the sciences of cultural
studies and linguistics, which studies phenomena such
as the interaction and connection of language and
culture, the formation of this separation and its
reflection outside language and language as a whole
system. deals with.
The desire to understand the phenomenon of the
linguocultural content of language and culture as one
of the forms of existence of the surrounding linguistic
factor causes the formation and development of the
linguocultural direction. Its linguistic and cultural space
has its own interpretation, and it is considered the
torus of not only national but also world culture.
Scholars express their different views on linguistic and
cultural issues.
According to V. I. Karasik, the emergence of linguistics
into linguo-cultural studies is explained by the

inevitable problem of what is considered a component
of language. Being a versatile natural product,
language is the most general phenomenon of
existence. Language is an important means of
communication, it is a component of communicative
activity; Language is the main component of culture as
an important component of the creation of the world,
as a means of providing information and managing
interpersonal relationships, as a means of influencing
people, as a guide to one or another action, as a record
of social relations, as an important keeper of collective
experience.
According to V.T. Klokov, in the development of the
linguistic and cultural direction, the desire to
understand the essence of the cultural phenomenon is
conditioned by human existence and a special form of
society in the world. At the same time, the author
emphasizes the scientific nature of the facts of a
philosophical character to this day. The understanding
of culture as a semiotic system, on the one hand,
contains a certain part of information useful for
society, and on the other hand, as a means of finding
and satisfying society itself, the scientific approach has
manifested itself.
Cultural words are tools for thinking and acting in
certain ways about various things that encompass the
concepts of a society's experience, and they enable the
perpetuation of these ways.
V.Z. Demyankov "tried to consider concepts and
concepts in literary and scientific language and came to
interesting conclusions” .
The modern meaning of the concept "concept" is
foreign to classical Latin. In medieval Latin, when the
original meaning of the word was still alive, the
metaphorical transference of the "fetus concept" was
apparently very lively, which is why it was not used
much, even in medieval philosophical texts. conceptus
was not used as a noun meaning "concept" but mainly
as an adjective meaning "fertilized". Later, when the
Latin language became not the only language of
science, but one of the languages of science, the term
"conceptus" is rarely found.
Prof. In one of his articles, N. Mahmudov commented
on the term "concept" and wrote: "In linguistic and
cultural studies, a lot of attention is paid to the
problems of the expression of the concept, when you
get acquainted with the Internet materials, for
example, you can see that this direction is extremely
widespread in Russian linguistics. it is possible, it is
difficult to enumerate the works in this regard. Even in
recent years, a very large number of candidate theses
are dedicated to the linguistic and cultural research of
the concept in this or that language” .
Linguistic-cultural approach to the concept requires
taking the concept as the basic unit of culture and
reflects the concepts that are important for a certain

culture. The structure of the concept is complex. Y.S.
Stepanov distinguishes three structural layers of the
concept: (1) the main character; (2) an additional, or
several additional, "passive" signs: (3) an internal form
that is reflected in the external, linguistic form, which
is usually not taken into account at all. Most of the
scientists (S.G. Vorkachev, V.I. Karasik, Maslova V .A.),
note that the concept is a complex structure and state
that it is based on: 1) meaning; 2) image; 3) value.
Constituents in the structure of the concept form a

vague, incomplete, sometimes vague, only relatively
fair, valuable and non-contradictory ideas that model
real human concepts (reflected in scientific research)
and give a unique interpretation.
Sh. Makhmaraimova notes that "The semantic scope of
the language, its main unit, finds its interpretation
through the study of meaning. In cognitive linguistics
and cultural studies, this issue is directly related to the
scope of concepts. On the other hand, it will be
possible to solve this issue positively only by studying
the concept, which is the main element of the scope of
concepts. In this case, it is necessary to distinguish
between concepts and concepts, and even when they
are differentiated, it is necessary to understand that
they are units of the same order, comparative
character, but with different
meanings.” If we
compare this, the words "heart" and "heart" in Uzbek
and the related concept and
It should be noted that the term "concept" entered the
Uzbek language relatively recently and is used in its
linguistic and cultural sense.
The concept has a twofold nature. Because, on the one
hand, culture enters the mental world of a person in
the form of a concept, on the other hand, a person
enters culture with the help of a concept and
sometimes affects it. The concept was defined by the
famous Russian linguist V.A. Maslova as follows: "it is a
semantic structure in which the linguistic and cultural
identity is recorded and describes the owners of a
certain ethno-culture in one way or another." The
linguist scientist N. Mahmudov in his article entitled
"Research of the language system" on the topic "In
search of the ways of the perfect study of the
language..." wrote that "...the concept is related to
thinking, a meaningful mental concept, but it is a
phenomenon that is completely free of national and
cultural elements. the view is very controversial," he
writes. Consequently, "Concept" is considered the
most actively used unit in linguistic culture, and
important scientific works such as linguocognitive and
linguocultural characteristics can be cited in this
regard. We can often find among Uzbek linguists that
the concept as a linguistic and cultural unit has the
ability to reveal the unique aspects of this or that

national culture. For example, Zahida Amirova's cross-
sectional analysis of the concept "Heart" in English and
Uzbek, M. Sadoqat's linguistic and cultural features of
the concept "Astana" in Uzbek, "Hombria" / "courage"
in Spanish and Uzbek by H. Adilbek. concept is used,
and we can cite many other works as an example.
Concepts appear in the minds of the people as the
heritage of the community, as its spiritual property,
culture. It is the collective consciousness (thought)
that is considered one of the important tools that
ensure the viability of the concept. A simple concept
and a concept have their differences and similarities. If
the concept represents the most important features of
things and events in material existence, the concept
can also represent their superficial (not very
important) aspects. The concept is expressed through
words. But concept and word are not the same thing.
The concept is formed on the basis of the
generalization of subjects belonging to a certain class
and the set of general and distinguishing features of
this subject.
The concept is supported by a complex prototypical
representation of interactions at the level of the
individual's nervous system: "the interaction of the
learning organism with the environment leads to the
formation of simple representations. As the number of
interactions with the same type of components in the
environment increases, the representation of such
interactions becomes more complex...
As the experience of joint actions with the
environment
increases,
simple
prototypic
representations begin to function only as a component
of complex prototypic representations. The structure
of the complex representational structure leads to the
fact that, if in the process of interaction with the
environment, in the nervous system of the organism,
according to its parameters, it is included in the
complex prototypical representations (memory
structure), it corresponds to the existing simple
representation to a large extent. if a specific state of
activity arises, then this will lead to the activation of the
entire complex realization.
All the views presented above, according to the
author, are considered philosophical in one way or
another, because they concern the problem of the
concept. Without the idea of some nebulous, moment-
to-moment, but never-abstract thing that unites them
all in this standardizing statement, these "points of
view" would have no internal connection. Therefore, it
becomes something only by appearing as an image - a
concept - a sign in its meaningful forms.
CONCLUSION
Thus, the term concept is synonymous with the term
meaning. The term meaning is essentially synonymous
with the content of the concept. In the culture of terms
in science, it should be noted that the term concept is
used only when the cultural content is abstracted, but

only about its structure. Also, the structure of word
content is understood in modern linguistics. The first
form of concept manifestation is images. The
meaningful form of the concept is a symbolic sign. A
real sign cannot be acquired from others, it grows out
of the language as a result of natural language
development. The image can be described, the
concept can be defined, but the symbol needs to be
interpreted. A sign is not only a synthesis of image and
understanding, but deeper than that, it is a synthesis of
presence and being that approaches the concept as
one of its forms.
From the above-mentioned ideas, it is possible to
create the following idea that the concept cannot be
polysemous while being a "pure meaning" by itself - it
is syncretic. The concept appears as a semantic
dominant that connects knowledge of reality - object
and potentiality - subject, it is a dialectic of whole and
parts.
That is why the concept does not have a form: it is an
internal form that is derived from an external form,
regardless of the word.
