ABSTRACT
This article delves into the fascinating world of cognitive linguistics, an interdisciplinary field that explores the intricate
relationship between language, thought, and conceptualization. Like a vibrant tapestry woven with threads from
cognition, pragmatics, and function, cognitive linguistics views language as a powerful cognitive tool, encoding and
transmitting information through symbols and signs. Within the depths of the human mind, concepts take shape,
forming a mosaic of interconnected ideas that find expression in the rich tapestry of language. Cultural experiences,
customs, and historical contexts add hues and shades to this linguistic picture, creating a diverse and captivating
conceptosphere that reflects the beauty and complexity of our shared human experience.

INTRODUCTION
The study of the relationship between language and
thought by linguists created the ground for the
emergence of macro-linguistics, in particular, cognitive
linguistics. Cognitive linguistics appeared in the 70s of
the 20th century, not based on the internal structure of
the language. linguists made a great contribution to
the development of this field, in contrast to the
structural paradigm, cognitivists emphasized that it is

not enough to study language according to the internal
structure of the language, dividing it into categories by
external factors, in particular, the human mind ability,
pragmatic, interactive, functional principles, they paid
attention to its connection with symbolic and
economic features. Cognitive linguistics is considered
an interdisciplinary approach that includes concepts
from
various
disciplines,
and
the
American
psychologist H. Gardner noted that cognitive
linguistics connects 6 disciplines. In the diagram below,
solid lines indicate strong connection, solid lines
indicate partially lower connection, and this
connection constitutes cognitive linguistics. Technical
progress has led to historical changes in linguistics, and
cognitive linguistics, like the working system of
computer algorithms, tries to determine how
information undergoes processes in the human mind,
like algorithms. While the connection between artificial
intelligence, anthropology and philosophy is realized
indirectly, linguistics has a direct relationship with all
fields, and cognitology, that is, is the central focus of
the science of human cognition, which forms the basis
of this science. one of the fields: computer science -
creation of programs capable of performing actions
performed by humans; cognitive psychology-
psychological aspects of the cognitive process;
emergence of the theory of generative grammar in
linguistics[1].
The connection between language and thinking is
widely revealed in this field, and now the focus is not
on the structural study of the language, but on the way
information is received, perceived, and new ones
appear in the mind of the user, language or speaker. It
should be noted that the emergence of cognitive
linguistics is connected with the invention of the
computer in the 20th century. representatives made it
possible for linguists to make a new turn within their
discipline, the operation of algorithms on a computer
increased interest in what processes it covers in the
person who is its creator. Cognitive linguistics,
according to Papova and E.S. Kubryakova, is a branch
of linguistics that views language as a general cognitive
mechanism, a cognitive tool of the sign system that
plays an important role in the representation
(encoding) and transmission of information[2].
First of all, it is necessary to dwell on what the symbol
and code are. Academician A. Nurmonov defines
symbols as any representatives of social information.
The sign, considered a unit of semiotics, was studied by
linguists before the emergence of cognitive linguistics.
Ferdinand de Saussure, a scientist who studied as a first
and made a new turn in linguistics, emphasizes that
there are two sides of the linguistic sign, its material
side (signifier/significant) and its meaning, conceptual
side (signified), they are inseparable from each other.
and one requires the other. For example, if we take the
word "house", its material side is in the form of a word,

and its meaning or concept side is its image in the
human mind. It is from here that this concept was
embodied in different ways for different people as a
well-known concept. For some, a residential building
comes to mind, while for others, family members, hot
food, a place of happiness, or, on the contrary,
livelihood concerns come to mind. F. Saussure
considers these two sides as psychological
phenomena, and he says not the connection between
the thing and the name, but the connection between
the side of the image or acoustic image (material) and
the side of the concept.[3]
Sh. Safarov in his work entitled Cognitive Linguistics,
while touching on the notion and concept, which is the
result of logical activity, the starting point of these two
terms is related to its perception and the emergence of
a figurative image in the human mind. In the higher
stages, they generalize and abstract to form a single
code for everyone, i.e. a symbolic sign[4]. For example,
at the lower level of human thinking, a book is
understood as an object designed to flow, while at a
higher level, it is information or a general code, such as
a library, knowledge, or a tool for achieving success.
When a flower goes from concept to concept level, it
can cover different meanings, for example, red rose is
symbolic of love, yellow rose is separation, white rose
is symbolic of friendship.
Such views clarify the difference between concept and
concept, but at the same time there is a similarity. The
above-mentioned generalized code does not apply to
the concept, which is the composition of each concept,
but the symbolic signs are reflected in the concept. For
example, a ring is a type of jewelry worn by women
(men) on the fingers, and it is an image in the mind in
the state of the concept, then the ring on the 4th finger
of the hand gives us information about being married,
going to be married, in which the ring as a concept
gives certain information.
Let's find answers to the questions of how the concept
appears and how to express it in words. In our mind,
the object that is happening is distinguished by its
different aspects, and then, by generalization, it is
combined into a known group and a general image is
formed. At the next stage, this image is processed
logically, turns into a concept, before receiving a
linguistic dress, an imaginary model appears in the
human mind, and a method of implementation is
sought in order to realize it, says Sh. Safarov with this
idea divides the note into internal (inner) and external
(external) types, or rather, from these two stages, the
concept moves from human imagination to language
reflection.
Before the verbalization of any concept, it has its own
representation in the human mind and takes different
forms in the speech of the speakers.
In today's anthropocentric linguistics, the concept
concept is gaining importance, and first of all, it is

necessary to dwell on the meaning and content of the
word concept.
The term concept is one of the most widely used terms
in modern linguistics, despite the fact that it has been
the object of many studies, but it still remains
essentially abstract.
If we look at the history of the word concept, the
ancient Greek scientists Aristotle and Socrates defined
the concept concept and founded the direction that is
considered a classical theory in linguistics. In this, the
concept concept was approached from a philosophical
point of view, and it was believed that there are
legitimate answers to philosophical questions about
the nature and essence of things. It is suggested that
there must be necessary and sufficient conditions
when explaining a concept and that there is a clear
boundary between concepts[5].
D.S. Likhachev, in his article "Conceptosphere of the
Russian language", said Askaldov, who was the first to
study the concept in Russian linguistics, to clarify the
nature of concepts. It is necessary to pay attention to
the fact that it is the most important aspect of
understanding, and he pointed out that it is possible to
see the concept as a substitute. shoots For us, the
concept is defined as a mental formation that replaces
a vague set of objects of a kind in the process of
thinking. D.S. Likhachev cites as an example of this idea
that when a general idea is expressed for a plant
organism, we ultimately mean all the defined set of real
or at least imaginary plants[6]. It is because of this that
the difference between concept and understanding is
clearly felt. Different people have different images of
the concept under the influence of factors such as their
religion, culture, customs, lifestyle, life experience, age
and gender.
The less cultural experience a person has, the poorer
not only his language, but also the "conceptosphere"
of active and passive vocabulary. As the culture of the
nation - its literature, folklore, science, fine arts -
becomes richer, so does the conceptual sphere of the
national language, which is especially related to all the
historical experience and religion of the nation.
