THE CONCEPT OF “AGE” FROM A LINGUISTIC-CONCEPTUAL PERSPECTIVE: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SPANISH AND UZBEK

Abstract

This article analyzes the linguistic interpretation of the concept of "youth" in Uzbek and Spanish cultures using linguacultural and axiolinguistic approaches. The study explores how the concept of "youth" is expressed in the national worldviews, value systems, and cultural traditions of both peoples, as well as its semantic structure in language and conceptual features. The article analyzes the expression of the concept of "youth" through paremiological units, phraseological units, and metaphors, and determines its place in the unity of language and culture. A comparative analysis also highlights the mental and symbolic meanings formed in the consciousness of people through lexical units associated with the concept of "youth" in the Uzbek and Spanish languages.
