Abstract

This paper delves into the intricate relationship between language and culture by examining the derivation of lexical units related to folk medicine in English and Uzbek languages. By analyzing morphological processes, etymological origins, and cultural influences, we explore how these two languages have developed distinct yet interconnected vocabularies to describe traditional healing practices. Through a comparative analysis, we identify similarities and differences in the formation and usage of folk medicine terms, shedding light on the cultural and historical contexts that shape linguistic expression. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the linguistic and cultural diversity embedded within folk medicine practices.
