Abstract

This article explores the linguocultural interpretation of concepts, highlighting how language and culture intertwine to shape the meaning of words and ideas. It examines mechanisms like lexical nuances, idioms, grammar, and taboos, and provides case studies on concepts such as "love," "honor," "nature," and "hospitality" across Russian, English, and Uzbek languages. The analysis underscores the significance of this approach for cross-cultural communication, education, and artificial intelligence, emphasizing its role in fostering mutual understanding in a globalized world.
