ABSTRACT
Linguocultural analysis of the concept of "heart" in the English, Uzbek and Uzbek-speaking worlds of the world forms
a wide semantic range for this concept. The importance of the heart makes it the center of human spiritual life, the
storehouse of feelings, moods, thoughts, will, and religious beliefs. It should be noted that for linguists the question
of the supremacy of this or that function of emotions is of no fundamental importance. Suffice it to say that the
essence of human existence is manifested in the human mind through emotions, guided and understood by them.

importance. Suffice it to say that the essence of human
existence is manifested in the human mind through
emotions, guided and understood by them.
THE MAIN RESULTS AND FINDINGS
In the linguistic landscape of both worlds, the "heart"
is, first of all, a symbol of emotions, a storehouse of
emotions. Basic emotions include "fear", "anger",
"joy", "pain", "sorrow".
I. Semantic group meaning "fear"-“
Қ
ўр
қ
ув”:
Intimidation; sending fear (e.g., sucking the heart);
with a fallen heart — in fear; with a sense of dread;
One’s heart leaped into one’s mouth (or throat) -fear,
too much fear; his heart fell on his heel (i.e. his heart
jumped into his mouth (or stuck in his throat));
Heart leap out of his mouth, as well as make
somediv’s heart leap out of his mouth — too scared;
fell on the heel of the abdomen (eg, the heart came out
of the throat).
In
the
examples
given,
we
observe
the
"consequences" of fear. In both languages, as the
inner form of the concept is shown, fear “breaks” the
heart, moving it out of place, with the following
consequences:
Heart disappears, the horse does not run.
II. Semantic group meaning "anger"-“
Қ
а
ҳ
р”:
One of the lexical meanings of the concept of heart in
the Uzbek language is portable-anger, rage: over the
heart-anger; in a rage, in a rage:
In the Uzbek language, the component "heart" is
directly included in the concept of "anger":
III. Semantic subgroup meaning "pain", "sorrow":
In Uzbek: -
қ
ай
ғ
у, дард, алам;
Sorrow, pain, anguish;
Apparently, "grief", "pain" have a destructive nature,
their impact on the heart is severe:
"Pain" "beats" the heart, "shrinks" it, "breaks" it,
"turns" it.
In English:
heart-ache-deep sorrow (from heart to “heart” and
ache “pain)”;
heart-break-pain, grief (“heart” and break “break”);
one’s heart is broken; pain is dead;
one’s heart is breaking;
cry (weep
) one’s heart out- bitter weeping; crying all
eyes; weeping for one's own pain (eg, weeping with all
one's heart);
“Pain” is the same in “heart” in both languages, and its
effects are devastating: in English, “breaking
someone’s heart” means ending that person, and,
moreover, it means death.
However, it should be noted that only in the Uzbek
language "heart" is part of the concept of "anger".
IV. “Joy” is a semantic group meaning “pleasure”
In Uzbek: - шодлик, яхши кайфият,
қ
увонч;
Joy, good mood, joy;

In the Uzbek language, "heart" is part of the concept
of "joy". It is he who rejoices, but joy does not appear
to be sad, it does not turn into laughter, it is "inner":
Also, joy is felt only against the background of sorrow,
they are inextricably linked. Everyone’s joy is special.
The joy of the rich is wealth, the joy of the poor is
children.
In the Uzbek language, the effect of "joy" on the
"heart" is observed:
The effect of "joy" on the "heart" is proportional to the
English-speaking worldview:
With a light heart--
енгил кўнгил билан
it’s a sad heart that never rejoices- to grieve for a heart
that is not happy;
a light heart.
V. Semantic group meaning “anxiety”
Anxiety, anxious state;
From "worries" in Uzbek: хавотир олиш, ташвишли
ҳ
олат;
The heart is falling apart (splitting, disintegrating) -
feeling fear, depression, depression;
The heart is not in place- someone is anxious, feels very
restless;
Hell in his heart — too heavy for someone;
Grieve from the heart (from the heart) - to feel anxious,
restless;
In English:
Devour one’s heart (eat one’s heart out or eat out
one’s heart)
Apparently, the effects of "anxiety" are not as
destructive as the effects of "pain" or "sorrow" on the
heart. However, "anxiety" changes its original form,
"squeezes" it, "eats" it, does not give it peace.
Although “anxiety” is perceived as a negative emotion,
there are two different approaches to it in the Uzbek-
speaking world.
In English, "anxiety" "eats" the heart.
VI. A semantic group meaning “doubt”
Doubt poisons the heart and weakens it. In other
languages, no aspects of the concept of "heart"
meaning "doubt" have been observed-“Шуб
ҳ
а”
“юрак”ни за
ҳ
арлайди, уни кучсизлантиради. Бош
қ
а
тилларда “юрак” концептининг “шуб
ҳ
а” маъносини
билдирувчи томонлари кузатилмаган
VII. A semantic group meaning “calm down”, “light
weight”
Calm down ("calm down");
If the "negative" emotions are destructive and "break"
or "excite" the "heart", then "calm down" replaces it:
"passes", "puts down", "calms down".
Your profession is your peace of mind.
Stranger hands - rest on the hands, but not on the
heart.
Beautiful words are pleasing to the heart.
Kind words ease the pain.

As can be seen from the examples, calming down can
also be found at work. Moreover, the “heart” cannot
be at peace. We have to do it all ourselves: alien hands,
no matter how much they help, remain alien anyway.
Sweet words also bring calm.
In this sense, rest brings "relief" to the "heart", takes
away the worries and emotions that affect it. It is
noteworthy that the calming of the heart also brings
peace of mind, that is, the heart and soul are closely
intertwined, which is especially characteristic of the
Uzbek-speaking worldview.
Calming in English affects the heart in a similar way:
Set one's heart at rest
-
тинчланиш,
ҳ
аяжонланмаслик,
хавотир олмаслик (айн.: юракни оромга бериш).
VIII. A semantic group meaning “compassion”
The concept of "heart" in the Uzbek language includes:
Mercy mercy; mercy
The semantic field of the concept of "heart" in the
Uzbek language also includes the concept of
"compassion":-“юрак”
концептининг
семантик
майдонига, шунингдек “шаф
қ
ат” концепти
ҳ
ам
киради:
In other words, you need to have a “compassionate”,
“kind” heart to help others. The meaning correlated
with the meanings in the Uzbek language has the
following concepts: Compassion is empathy for the
plight of others; Compassion, compassion, emptiness.
Thus, it is not enough to have a compassionate,
compassionate heart, it is also necessary to sincerely
grieve for others.
No such meaning of the concept of "heart" has been
observed in English.
IX. A semantic group meaning “feeling”
1. In Uzbek, the concept of "feeling" itself has a "heart"
component:- туй
ғ
у;
севги;
1. feeling;
2. love;
But the feeling, in general, is what lies in the heart:
A feeling kept secret in the heart, a dream; love
In other words, the small form of the word is directly
related to the feeling inside the heart, exactly "heart",
"feels", exactly the heart "feels".
Thus, emotions "grow" in the heart, "enter" it, "sink"
it, "are done in it", "he knows them", "pass through it",
forcing him to go astray. It is the location of emotions
in the "belly" that keeps them secret.
In this case, emotions can have a different nature, each
word has its own meaning: - feeling, love; - a feeling
hidden in the heart, a dream; love, that is, a relatively
wide, thin layer that requires a separate, careful love.
In Uzbek, feelings fill the "heart":
In English, perceptions play on the "strings" of the
heart:
Heart-strings
tongue strings, deep feelings.
As they open
their hearts, they talk about their
feelings:

open (uncouver) one’s heart to smb (e.g. pour out
one’s heart to smb) - to open one’s heart, to pour out
one’s heart (i.e., one’s heart to smb)
one’s heart warms towards her (him);
move (stir or touch) smb’s heart - to impress someone,
to touch someone’s heart;
lay one's heart bare;
have smth at heart
- to get close to the heart (e.g. to
have something around the heart);
have a soft (warm
) spot in one’s heart for smb- feeling

smb’s heart, i.e. go to smb’s heart- touch to the bottom
of the heart; reaching the heart; echoing someone’s
heart (e.g., reaching someone’s heart home);
bring home to smb’s heart
; touching the bottom of the
heart; to reach the heart; to resonate with someone; in
the fullness of one’s heart;
Feelings warm the "heart", and the warmer the
feelings, the higher the "temperature" of the heart. In
both languages, opening the "heart" means pouring
out feelings.
It is noteworthy that the English word "heart" is
translated into Uzbek as "heart". This confirms our
view that the Uzbek “heart” plays the role of the
English “heart”.
The English landscape describes the "heart" as home.
The house is sacred with all its possessions, they always
return home. Reaching the home of the heart means
reaching the center of man, his essence.
X. A semantic group meaning “love”
The concepts of "love" and "heart" are observed in
both languages.
1. In Uzbek, we return to concepts: 1.Туй
ғ
у; 2. Севги;
1. Emotion; 2. Love;
In the passion of love, we go through many paths, and
the important thing is to find the path that leads to the
"heart", that is, to love. To love and be loved is to be in
each other's hearts. The heart burns with love,
In English:
Steal smb’s heart
- stealing someone’s heart;
Lose one’s heart to smb
); 1) (smth) to give one's heart
to someone; to fall in love with someone (e.g. give
one’s heart to smb); 2) (smth) to be interested in
someone, to love something (eg, to give one's heart to
someone, to lose, to give);
goin smb’s heart
- to reach someone’s love; to win
someone's heart (e.g., to win someone's heart);
When you fall in love, you lose your heart, but in return
you win the heart of the person you love. It is
impossible to go out against love.
lie near one’s heart
(of) - to be close to someone’s
heart. In Uzbek, people are spiritually close, in English -
"with their hearts." Love cannot be forgotten:
The heart that once truly loves never forgets (old love
never rusts)
XI. “Ranj” means semantic group
The component "heart" in the Uzbek language is part
of the concept of "ranj":
Resentment, sadness

sandness remains in his heart without giving him
peace:
In other languages, this semantic field is not defined.
XII. Semantic group meaning "mood", "state".
In Uzbek: хуш кайфият; ёмон кайфият;
Good mood;
Bad mood;
The mood and condition of a person is reflected in the
heart, at the same time subject to it. If it is bad for the
heart, it is bad for the person, if the heart is "cleansed",
"flies", "grows" - the mood rises. In this case, the
person is inspired ("heartbroken", "uplifted").
In Uzbek, a boring mood affects the "heart" in a similar
way:
Disruption of the rhythm of the "heart" leads to a
violation of the balance of the whole state of mind.
In English, if the heart is broken, the "heart" hurts, it
gets worse:
heartsickness (from heart to “heart” and sickness to
“disease”);
with a heavy (sore) heart;
And, conversely, to please the "heart" is to please man:
cheer (delight, gladden, rejoice, warm
) the cockles of
one’s heart (t.j. do one’s heart good) cheer the heart
(e.g. do good); to please someone; To see you all so
happy cheers the cockles of my heart
XIII. Semantic group meaning "kindness", "care"
In the Uzbek language, the concept of "heart",
"kindness" includes: “юрак”, “эзгулик”
Compassionate, compassionate;
For the Uzbek Academy of Sciences, "compassion" is a
special nature of the "heart", along with mercy and
compassion.
English "warms" the heart of kindness:
heart warming - warm, affectionate (from heart to
“heart” and warm “warmth”);
A "cold" heart also means tolerance:
cold-heartedness-
coldness, tolerance (from cold
“cold” and heartedness “willingness”).
XIV. Semantic group meaning "anger"
An angry man in Uzbek LPW is a ruthless man;
Compassionate, ruthless;
An angry man in English LPW is a heartless, ruthless
man.
XV. A semantic group meaning “hate”
Dislike and dislike of the Uzbek-speaking LPW change
the "heart".
In Uzbek science, the concept of "heart" is used to
increase the power of emotion; There is hatred in the
heart.
XVI. Semantic group meaning "pleasant / unpleasant"-
“Ё

Cute, pleasant, sincere, voluntary, close
In other words, it’s close to the heart.
They also follow their own heart in the English LPW:
after one’s heart
(soul) - from the heart.
Our attention is again drawn to the fact that in this
context, the concepts of "heart" and "language" can
be interchanged.
It should be noted that in the languages studied,
different grammatical forms of the concept of "heart"
are observed, which is evidence of its effectiveness.
CONCLUSION
Thus, the common semantic groups of the concept of
"heart" in Uzbek and English, meaning "fear", "pain",
"joy",
"anxiety",
"feeling",
"love",
"mood",
"compassion". However, despite the semantic
commonality of the given concepts, the concept of
concepts in the LPW studied is different. In the Uzbek
and English worldview, "heart" is, first of all, a
storehouse of feelings and emotions. In other words,
the "heart" is the center, spiritual, emotional, spatial
and ethical orientation of the Uzbek mentality.
