Abstract :
Abstract This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the vocabulary reflecting manners of behavior from cognitive and linguocultural perspectives, utilizing the Uzbek and English languages as a comparative framework. Employing a mixed-methods approach, including corpus analysis, cognitive linguistic theory, and cultural examination, the study explores how manners of behavior are encoded linguistically and conceptualized within these distinct cultural contexts. The findings reveal significant differences and similarities in the expression of manners, highlighting the influence of cultural values and societal norms on language use. In the Uzbek language, a strong emphasis on respect and politeness, particularly in familial and social contexts, is observed, whereas the English language exhibits a broader lexicon for describing both positive and negative aspects of behavior, reflecting Western values of individualism and personal autonomy.
