Keywords:
Toponym, semantics, cultural semantics, linguoculturology, geographical names, lexical layer, historical motivation, ethnotoponymy.Abstract
This article analyzes the semantic scope of toponymic units, their lexical-semantic features, and cultural-spiritual load from a linguocultural perspective. The internal form, external structure, and historical-spiritual content of toponyms in English and Uzbek are examined. The study demonstrates that toponyms are products of cultural thinking and are closely connected with the worldview, customs, traditions, and socio-legal relations of a people.
