Концепт «любовь» в пословичной картине мира в
английском и узбекском языках
АННОТАЦИЯ
Ключевые слова:
любовь,
ключевой концепт,
пословичная картина
мира,
картина мира,
тематика пословиц.
В статье речь идет об одном из ключевых концептов
картины мира. В разных картинах мира любовь, несмотря
на то что является объективной данностью, имеет разное
преломление.
Наиболее
четко
это
обстоятельство
прослеживается в пословицах. Любовь одна из базисных
концептов, определяющих ментальность народа. В статье
определены общие и различные черты данного концепта в
пословичной картине мира англичанов и узбеков. Данные
знания помогут носителям узбекского языка, изучающим
французский язык, и будут способствовать успешной
межкультурной коммуникации.
Love as an expression of the emotional and sensory perception of the environment, the
relationship between people and the sexes is of great importance in the life of any person. Love is
one of the great importance in the world image of any person and determines his attitude to the
world. In different pictures of the world, love, despite the fact that it is an objective given, has a
different refraction. This circumstance can be traced most clearly in proverbs. It is known that
different cultures are based on systems of value orientations, which are reflected in proverbs, and
the linguistic analysis of these statements makes it possible to objectively establish some value
priorities of the compared cultures. While ttranslating proverbs from one language into another we
have to avoid inconsistencies both in meaning and in form, taking into account the contextual
situation. A special attention should be devoted to the transfer of traditions and national cultural
values [3,584].
Love is one of the basic concepts that define the mentality of the people, and we have
identified the themes that define this concept in the proverbial picture of the world. The first place
is taken by the group “love and friendship”.
When comparing proverbs, attention is immediately drawn to the fact that only in English
there is such a group:
Friendship is always helpful, and love hurts – (Айни тарж: Дўст кулфатда билинар, севги
озор етказар)
Love is incompatible with fear – (Айни тарж: Севгини қўрқув билан тенглаштириб
бўлмайди) Friendship is love with understanding (Айни тарж: Дўстлик ўзаро тушуниш орқали
ҳосил бўладиган севги)
Friendship in the English proverbial picture can turn into love, and rarely love into
friendship.
The second place is taken by the group “love and hate”. Such a thematic connection, like the
first group, exists in large numbers in the English proverbial world image.
The course of true love never did run smooth – Севги дарди кўп ёмон, Бошидан ўтган
билар.
Love is sweet in the beginning but sour in the ending – Севгининг баҳори билан шодланма,
Ёз-у қиши ҳам бордир.

A characteristic feature of this group is that a person, when he loves, can simultaneously
hate. Love is as strong as hate. English proverbs include the idea that both love and hate are reckless,
transcending boundaries.
The third place is taken by the group “love and visual sensations”.
Beauty is in the eye of the gazer – Чиройли чиройли эмас, Суйганинг – чиройли.
In the English proverbial picture of the world, there are proverbs that assert the importance
of evaluating with a glance, love with a glance, external sensations, and visual sensations in general.
This circumstance is explained by the special place of aesthetic sensations, external beauty, and
beauty in general in the English picture of the world. Group “love and visual jealousy”.
Hatred is blind, as well as love. – Рашкнинг кўзи кўр
A distinctive feature is that without jealousy, love is not love. If a person loves, then he should
be jealous.
Next comes the “love is blind” group.
– Love sees no faults – (Айни тарж: Севги камчиликлардан кўз юмар)
– Love makes a good eye squint – (Айни тарж: Севги соғ кўзни ҳам қисилишга мажбур қилар –
любовь заставляет хорошенько прищуриться Севги камчиликлардан кўз юмар) – Love is
blind – (Айни тарж: Севгининг кўзи кўр).
Despite the fact that there are a large number of proverbs about the meaning of a visual
sensation in love, there are also a significant number of proverbs that characterize this feeling as
blind. In Uzbek proverbs on this topic, a much more significant place than in English is occupied by
proverbs with a negative assessment of the concept “Love”.
The sixth place is taken by the group “love and death”.
They love too much that die for love – Деҳқон эмас – кетмон чопиб нон бермаса, Ошиқ эмас
ишқ йўлида жон бермаса.
Love is as strong as death – (Айни тарж: Севги ўлим каби кучлидир).
Love is put on a par with death – (Айни тарж: Севги ўлим билан каби бир қаторда).
The seventh place is taken by the group “love and poverty”.
Love does not get along with poverty; poverty kills love (Айни тарж: Севги қашшоқлик
билан келишмас; камбағаллик севгини ўлдирар)
Next comes the “love and time” group (2).
Time, not the mind, puts an end to love – (Айни тарж: Севгига ақл эмас вақт чек қўяди).
Time heals all wounds – (Айни тарж: Вақт барча дардни даволайди).
Time, not the mind, puts an end to love – Вақт севгини сўндирар, ақл эмас.
The connection between love and time in the English painting is less often traced than in the
Uzbek culture.
Next group the “old love”.
Calf love, half love; old love, cold love. – Севгининг баҳори билан шодланма, Ёз-у қиши ҳам
бордир.
The new love drives out the old love – (Айни тарж: Янги севги эскисини сиқиб чиқаради)
Old love does not rust – (Айни тарж: Эски севги зангламас) Old love will not be forgotten –
(Айни тарж: Илк севги унутилмас)
The theme of old love, first love in the English proverbial
picture is developed and presented more.
Group “love and money”.
Money plays a very important role in the life of society. They plunge a person into the abyss
of passions:
Kissing goes by favour – Севги пулга сотилмас, Кўнгил пулга топилмас.

In the Uzbek proverbial picture, love is filled with specific content related directly to the
structure of life by the creation of a home and the birth of children,
(Тоғнинг кўрки – лола билан,
Уйнинг кўрки – бола билан)
the continuation of the family clan. On the one hand, love refers to the
area of a person’s spiritual nature, emanating from the deepest secrets of his spiritual nature. On
the other hand, love is the biological attraction of two bodily bodies. It is felt physically, is a
materialized representation of human sensory perceptions [15. P. 203].
The concept of love – taptal – is described in epic myth-making. In the proverbial picture of
the world of the Uzbek language, the most productive theme is “love is blind”.
Муҳаббатнинг кўзи – кўр. Love is blind.
Рашкнинг кўзи – кўр. Jealousy is blind.
Севгининг кўзи айб кўрмас. Loved eyes never see guilt.
In the Uzbek proverbial picture of the world, love is considered a divine definition and a
divine gift. Also, the proverbial picture shows that in the Uzbek culture it is not customary to express
feelings openly. The recklessness and divine predestination of feelings are emphasized. They fall in
love recklessly.
Пардозлини уйда кўр, Look at makeup wife at home. Хотинингни тўйда кўр. See your wife
at the wedding.
