Introduction
Language is the verbal expression of culture. Culture is the idea, custom
and beliefs of a community with a distinct language containing semantics -
everything speakers can think about and every way they have of thinking about
things as medium of communication.
The study of language meaning is concerned with how languages employ
logical structures and real-world references to convey, process and assign meaning,
as well as to manage and resolve ambiguity. This subfield encompasses semantics
(how meaning is inferred from words and concepts) and pragmatics (how meaning
is inferred from context).
Linguistics concerns itself with describing and explaining the nature of
human language. Fundamental questions include what is universal to language,
how language can vary, and how human beings come to know languages.
Nowadays linguistics is developing very successfully. There are a lot of
branches from which Cognitive Linguistics is a new trend in Modern Linguistics.
Cognitive Linguistics is the study of the mind through language and the study of
language as a cognitive function. Cognitive Linguistics has two main goals: (1) to
study how cognitive mechanisms like memory, categorization, attention, and
imagery are used during language behavior; and (2) to develop psychologically
viable models of language that cover broad ranges of linguistic phenomena,
including idioms and figurative language.
Our Qualification Paper is devoted to the questions of Cognitive
linguistics, Cultural Linguistics and Concept as a basic notion of Cognitive
Linguistics and Cultural Linguistics. To study the concept from the point of view
of Cognitive linguistics and Cultural linguistics is one of the most important,
disputable and interesting problems of investigation in linguistics and we also
decided to share our opinions on this matter.
This Qualification Paper deals with the linguistic and semantic
representation of concept “Happiness” – “Baxt” in the English and Uzbek
4
Languages. “Happiness” is the universal concept and it exists in every language.
But, despite being universal concept, in different culture the concept “Happiness”
is verbalized differently.
