Abstract

This paper explores the concept of betrayal from a cross-linguistic and cultural perspective, analyzing its usage in different contexts, including friendship, family, professional settings, and loyalty to the motherland. By comparing English and Uzbek linguistic expressions, the study highlights the role of cultural values in shaping the semantic and pragmatic aspects of betrayal. The analysis draws on cognitive-linguistic and linguocultural approaches, illustrating how the concept is encoded in language and interpreted within social and moral frameworks.
