Keywords:
ethnographic lexicon, semantics, linguoculturology, anthropocentrism, artistic discourse, national identity, cultural memory, Tog‘ay Murod.Abstract
The present study investigates the semantic and linguocultural characteristics of ethnographic lexical units in Tog‘ay Murod’s novel Otamdan qolgan dalalar. The research aims to reveal how ethnographic vocabulary functions as a linguistic representation of Uzbek national culture, traditional lifestyle, and collective memory. The study employs semantic, contextual, linguocultural, and anthropocentric approaches to analyze lexical units related to family life, agricultural practices, food culture, clothing, and social relations. The findings demonstrate that ethnographic lexemes in the novel perform not only nominative functions but also serve as carriers of cultural knowledge and national identity. The study concludes that Tog‘ay Murod’s artistic language constitutes an important source for understanding the interaction between language, culture, and national consciousness in contemporary Uzbek literature.
