Abstract:
This article presents theoretical information
on the concept of a concept. Cognitive linguistics is a
science that studies the nature of a certain concept in
the linguistic representation of the world and its
connection with world realities. The concept is one of
the main categories of cognitive linguistics, an element
that establishes a connection between culture and man.
The term “concept” has been used in linguistics since
the 90s of the 20th century. The concept of a concept
still does not have a single general explanation or
interpretation.
Keywords:
Concept definition, essence of the concept,
cognitive linguistics, linguocultural studies, culture,
language and ethnicity, language and mentality.
Introduction:
Linguocultural studies can be interpreted
as a new direction of linguistics that is rapidly
developing today, finding its expression in language and
stabilizing.
According
to
NM
Makhmudov,
“linguocultural studies studies language as a cultural
phenomenon. This is a unique view of the world through
the prism of the national language, in which language
participates as an expression of a separate national
mentality. Today, linguocultural studies is forming and
developing as a separate linguistic direction in Russian
and world linguistics. Its task is to describe and study the
relationship between language and culture, language
and ethnicity, language and mentality. This direction is
only now beginning to be explored in Uzbek linguistics
in more comparative aspects. Language as a semiotic
system is a system that has emerged empirically at a
certain stage in the development of human society and,
according to many experts, has developed in the form
of a phenomenon with a polyfunctional nature in the
system of signs. The 21st century began as a period of
renaissance in linguistics, and each passing era
witnesses changes and progress in the human mind. For
example, the 19th century was the century of

comparative-historical linguistics, while the 20th
century was the era of structuralism in linguistics.
On the other hand, cognitive linguistics is a science that
studies language as a semiotic system - the essence of
a certain concept in the linguistic representation of the
world and its connection with world realities. The
concept is one of the main categories of cognitive
linguistics, an element that establishes a connection
between culture and man. The term “concept” has
been used in linguistics since the 90s of the 20th
century. The concept of a concept still does not have a
single general explanation or interpretation. One of
the most prominent linguists in the study of concepts
is SAAskoldov. He defines a concept as “a unit that
reflects the process of thinking about one type or
another of concepts”
.
The concept is a very broad concept, and scientists
have considered it differently. The concept reflects the
interdependence and cooperation of the disciplines of
logic, psychology, linguistics, and philosophy. More
precisely, the concept is a multifaceted, integrative,
that is, logical-linguistic-epistemological term.
A concept is the sum of culture in the human mind; it
embodies the form in which this culture enters the
human mind. For example, the word "law" is different
from the concept underlying this term (decree, legal
document, text of the law, etc.), while a "concept" is a
sum of imagination, understanding, knowledge,
associations, and experiences that arise in the mind
with the word "law".
The study of concepts in psycholinguistics is diverse
and is characterized by the complexity and
multifaceted nature of research. A concept is
interpreted as a perceptual, cognitive and affective
phenomenon that is subject to the laws of human
psychic life and has a dynamic nature in the process of
cognition and communication of an individual.
According to NDAryutunova, the concept is a practical
concept in philosophy, reflecting the relationship
between many facts and the process of thinking, such
as national tradition, life experience, religion, ideology,
folklore, artistic images. He explained that the concept
reflects "the cultural layer that establishes a
connection between man and the world. "
One of the Russian linguists, D.S. Likhacheva, in her
scientific work "The Concept Sphere of the Russian
Language," shows that a concept is a product of a
thought process that arises as a result of a person's
collision with the lexical meaning of a word and his own
national views.
In
linguistics,
there
are
various
scientific
interpretations of the term “concept” by scientists
,
which are explained by its extreme abstraction and
essentially different existence. However, the definition
of the concept given by VA Maslova more accurately
reflects the essence of the “concept”, namely, “a
concept is a semantic structure that has a linguocultural
identity, suggesting representatives of a certain
ethnoculture in one way or another”
.
S.G.Vorkachev defines this concept as “A concept is a set
of ideas, representations, and knowledge that has its
own expression in language and linguistic and cultural
specificity.” This cultural concept and of imagination
verbalized It also means idea. Concept national
language and national to think relevant is an element of
abstraction. high in the phase semantic formation to the
concept itself " it is unique," he explained. will pass.
Yu.S. Stepanova's opinion is that "a concept is a form of
one of the elements of culture formed in a person's
thinking, and it is in this form that culture enters a
person's mental world. "
The word "concept" was introduced into the field of
modern humanitarian knowledge by the Russian thinker
SA Askoldov, who understood the concept not as an
individual concept, but as a "generality" in it. SA
Askoldov 2 main points of the concept type separates:
-
to science related;
-
artistic (to art) (regarding)
Russian linguist VZDemyankov, in his scientific work
“The Concept and Concept in Artistic Literature and
Scientific Language,” examined the use of the term
“concept” in Latin, French, Italian, Spanish, German,
English, and Russian and came to the following
conclusions: a) initially, the term “concept” was used in
Latin in the sense of conceptus “primitive, initial state.”
In Italian and Spanish, the concept (concetto, concepto)
has long been found in literary texts and is found in
many idioms: b) in German, the term concept ( Koncept,
концепт) was used in the sense of “homkolip,” that is,
“konsept” in Russian. In English, the concept (concept)
was used as a philosophical term. In Russian, the
concept was used as a synonym
for the term “concept”
from the 1920s to the 1970s.
Having studied the above, the scientist VZ Demyankov,
taking its Latin meaning as a basis for interpreting the
meaning of the term concept, comes to the conclusion
that the term concept has the idea of "primary
meaning".
A concept is a unit of thought, based on understanding,
meaning, and image, and is called a generalization or
"quantum" of knowledge. It has a high level of
substantive generality.
In Chinese, beauty expresses its integrity and harmony
through morally positive qualities (such as kindness) and

light emotions (such as smile, sadness) that emphasize
and emphasize beauty. It is known that beauty
attracts, while ugliness repels. However, when
morality interferes with aesthetics, the situation
becomes more complicated.
According to Chinese aesthetes, beauty has many faces
and is inherently like water. It is elusive and changes
shape along with its container. It is like a river that
caresses bathing children, a puddle in the desert saves
the life of a traveler, a lake in the imperial palace flirts
with nobles, the sea storms sailors during a storm ...
Admittedly, these considerations can be considered
impressionistic, but they adequately reflect the idea of
beauty in the Chinese concept of the world: the power
of beauty lies in its changing nature.
If external beauty and attractiveness contradict the
moral character of a person, beauty comes into contact
with its opposite - ugliness. ND Arutyunova notes that
“in the demonic beauty of a person,
a beautiful
appearance is combined with evil and vices, boundless
passions and sensual desires, cruelty and aggression,
which destroy the harmony of the inner world, but give
this type of beauty a special attractive appearance.
strong power. It is difficu
lt to resist its influence”
.
Leonid
Stolovich,
having
considered
various
philosophical considerations surrounding the phrase
"Beauty will save the world", came to the following
conclusion: If the world saves beauty, then beauty will
save the world. Preserving beauty means creating new
beauty in human life.
