NTRODUCTION
Concepts specific to the mentality of each nation
are well preserved in folk proverbs. In particular,
each nation has its own reality and they are
expressed using language tools. Proverbs are an
important resource in this regard. This problem is
studied in cognitive linguistics.
Cognitive linguistics is a branch of linguistics that
focuses on language interpreted as a cognitive
mechanism, a cognitive weapon (instrument), a
system of knowledge that plays an important role
in encoding and reshaping information [1, 53].
Therefore, the main problem of cognitive

linguistics is to create a model of the basis of
language communication and exchange of
knowledge.
V. Humboldt has already emphasized that
language is the most important main activity of
the soul that permeates human life and
knowledge. And finally, the attention of scientists
is directed to the determination of the role of
language as a condition and tool of knowledge in
cognitive linguistics. Any language is creative in
expressing something in the world because it
shapes the worldview for the speaker of that
language.
Conceptual structures built with the help of
language relate more to the probable experience
of the individual than to the actual experience [2,
114]. Different concepts of the same system can
be expressed by exactly one linguistic form. This,
in turn, reflects the fact that language is not a
means of expression. We say that man and horse
are running, time is running, thoughts are
running, life is running . But linguistic expressions
in any case correspond to a certain concept (or its
construction). Therefore, the understanding of
linguistic expression is considered by R. Pavilenis
as its interpretation in a certain conceptual
system, not in terms of a specific set of semantic
objects.
Human cognitive activity (cognition) should be
considered as a phenomenon that develops his
ability to determine his place in the world. And
this activity is closely connected with the need to
generalize and distinguish between objects:
concepts arise to ensure the performance of such
work. In order to define and describe concepts, it
is necessary to be able to evaluate the mutual
separation of certain signs, the relationship of
actions with objects, and their final goals. But
although cognitologists know the role of these
factors, they cannot answer the question of how
concepts arise and are often limited to general
considerations[4,25].
The notion of a concept is a response to the idea
of the meanings used in a person's thought
processes, which reflect the content of experience
and knowledge, the results of the processes in the
form of certain "quanta" of the human activity and
knowledge of the world (Petrov 1979, 55;
Khintikka 1980, 90-92).

Now in linguistics it is possible to show
three main approaches to the understanding of
the concept, which are based on the general
situation: the concept is a representative unit, a
synonym of the meaning. The first approach
(represented by Yu.S. Stepanov) focuses on the
cultural aspect in the study of the concept.
Because in this, the whole culture is understood
as a set of concepts and relations between them.
Therefore, the concept is the main link of culture
in the human cognitive world. It presents
concepts as a component of European culture.
Concepts are central to collective linguistic
consciousness, and thus learning them becomes a
daunting task.
V.N. Telia also believes that "a concept is
what we know about an object taken in its
extensive state. Such an understanding of the
term "concept" relegates the role of language to
the second line. In fact, it is an auxiliary tool - a
form of linguistic (transition) of the cream of
concept culture.
The second approach to understanding the
concept (N.D. Arutyunova and her school), T.V.
Bulygina, A.D. Shmelev, etc.) interprets the
meaning of the linguistic sign as the only means of
forming the content of the concept. A similar
opinion was expressed by N.F. Alefirenko. He also
emphasizes that a semantic approach to the
concept is preferable and understands it as a unit
of cognitive semantics.
Proponents of the third approach are D.S.
Likhachev, E.S. Kubryakova and others. According
to them, the concept does not appear on the basis
of the meaning of the word, but is a derivative of
the collision of the meaning of the word with the
personal and life experience of a person, that is,
the concept is a medium between words and
existence.
Concept, according to E.S. Kubriakova, is
the conceptual system of the brain as a quick
meaningful unit of the mental lexicon in memory
( Lingua mentalis ) is a reflection of the world
scene in the human psyche.
E.S. Kubryakova considers it reasonable to
use concepts of science and figure used in
psychology in the description of sensory
processes in the concept analysis. The opposition
of science and figure is related to the perception
of a person as a part of the whole and in a certain
science (environment, space) and the same
understanding of all other objects in the universe.
Thus, the author argues that on the basis of

language and its categories, a person's experience
is clearly visible, and only by referring to this
experience, he can penetrate into more abstract
areas and form his ideas about things and
phenomena that are not given in direct
observation.
In Uzbek folk proverbs, truth is expressed
through the following expressions:
Justice
The truth
Right
Not enmity, but justice.
The hand cut by the sword of
justice does not hurt.
The sword of justice will be
sharp.
The truth will break your
heart.
Truth bends, bends, but does
not break.
The truth is in the sky - the
ladder is in the wallet
The truth does not burn in
the fire, it does not sink in
the water.
The truth is the sun, it
cannot be hidden.
The truth does not burn in
the grass and
does not sink in the water.
The face of truth is bright,
its hand is long.
He will make a
decision in the right
place.
The right thing is
done by the people.
Right cannot be
wrong.
Right bends, wrong
bends.
Even if the truth is
bent, it will not break.
The truth is under his
hat.
Right will pass, right
will win.
Truth always wins.
Let the truth be true,
and
break the neck of the
unjust.

Its dictionary meaning will not be enough to
reveal the essence of the concept of truth. The
concept needs to be studied at the concept level.
It is clear from the analysis material that the
concept of truth is expressed not only by the
lexeme of truth itself, but also by various other
lexemes:
The linguocognitive and linguocultural analysis of
the concept of "truth" includes the study of how
this concept is perceived, interpreted and used in
the language and culture of a certain society. In
this case, analyzing the concept of "truth" from
the point of view of linguistics, cognitive and
cultural approaches, several main aspects can be
distinguished:
Linguistic analysis:
1. Cognitive models: the study of how the concept
of "truth" is organized in cognitive models of
linguistic consciousness and how it is related to
other concepts in the cultural context.
2.
Metaphorical
concepts:
analysis
of
metaphorical images related to the concept of
"Truth" in language, for example, "bright truth",
"bitter truth", etc. reality is reflected in linguistic
expressions.

3. Frames: Exploring the frames that are activated
when "Truth" is mentioned and what
associations, stereotypes and perceptions are
associated with this concept in different cultural
and linguistic contexts.
Linguistic analysis:
1. Cultural codes: the study of how the concept of
"truth" reflects the values, norms and attitudes of
a particular community's culture, as well as its
connection with historical, religious and socio-
cultural aspects.
2. Idioms and proverbs: Analysis of the use of
idioms, proverbs and proverbs related to the
concept of "truth" in different languages and
cultures in order to understand the specific
perception of this concept.
3. Semantic field: to study the associations that
the concept of "Truth" evokes in different cultural
and linguistic groups and what meanings are
reflected in the linguistic and cultural
manifestations of this concept.
Thus, the linguocognitive and linguocultural
analysis of the concept of "truth" allows to fully
deepen the meaning of this concept in the context
of language, to consider it within the framework
of cultural characteristics, and to determine the
connections between linguistic signs and cultural
concepts.
N. Mahmudov also touched on the issue of
terminology and wrote that "despite the fact that
a lot has been written about them in linguistics,
still some of them, for example: "linguistic
person" and "concept" have not been uniformly
interpreted." In addition, the problem of
separating "concept" and "notion" from each
other cannot be said to have been fully resolved
[3; 3-16].
C
ONCLUSION
In conclusion, it can be said that the share and
place of folk proverbs among Paremias is unique.
Proverbs are especially important from the point
of view of expressing the concept of truth. The
Uzbek people's understanding of the truth will
not disappear. Thoughts about truth also express
political, social, and domestic meanings. But the
biggest truth is that each individual has his own
truth.
