ETHNOLINGUISTIC FEATURES OF TRADITIONAL UZBEK MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS AND THEIR CONCEPTUAL REFLECTION OF REALITY
Abstract
This article examines the ethnolinguistic characteristics of traditional Uzbek measurement systems and their role in conceptualizing reality. The study analyzes how indigenous measurement units reflect the worldview, cultural practices, and cognitive patterns of the Uzbek people. Through ethnographic and linguistic analysis, the research demonstrates that traditional measurement systems are not merely practical tools but complex cultural constructs that embody historical experience, environmental adaptation, and social relations. The article explores various categories of traditional measurements including length, weight, volume, time, and their metaphorical extensions in the Uzbek language and culture.
