Toponyms in English and Uzbek: A Comparative Linguistic and Cultural Study
Abstract
This paper explores the linguistic and cultural characteristics of toponyms (place names) in English and Uzbek languages. It examines their etymology, structure, semantic features, and historical development. The study also highlights how toponyms reflect the worldview, history, and identity of each nation. Comparative analysis reveals both universal and culture-specific tendencies in the formation of place names, showing how language and geography intertwine in shaping collective memory and identity.
