Abstract

Musical terminology serves as a mirror of national culture and collective cognition. This study explores the linguocultural specificity of Uzbek musical terminology, with a particular focus on its national-cultural features and metaphorical formation. Using a contrastive approach, the research compares Uzbek musical terms — especially those from the Shashmaqom tradition — with their English counterparts.
