A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TERMS RELATED TO LIFE ACTIVITIES IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK
Keywords:
Life activities, English, Uzbek, comparative analysis, terminology, cultural contextAbstract
The study aims to compare and analyze terms related to life activities in the English and Uzbek languages. Life activities encompass a wide range of human actions, such as work, leisure, education, and social interaction. These activities are not only reflected in language but are also influenced by cultural contexts. The paper investigates how these concepts are expressed in both languages and explores the similarities and differences in the terminology used to describe these activities. By conducting a comparative analysis of selected terms, the study provides insight into the nuances and cultural significance of life activities in English and Uzbek. The findings emphasize the role of language in shaping our understanding of daily life and how these activities are structured and perceived in different cultures.
