DOI: An Axiological And Anthropolinguistic Analysis Of The Human Image In Uzbek And Russian Proverbs
Ra’no Urishevna Madjidova , Doctor of Philological Sciences, Professor, Uzbek State University of World Languages, UzbekistanAbstract
The article explores the axiological and anthropolinguistic potential of Uzbek and Russian proverbs that reflect perceptions of human nature, moral and ethical behavior, and aesthetic values. Proverbs, as an essential component of the national linguistic worldview, encapsulate cultural, moral, and axiological orientations of different peoples. The research focuses on the human image as a bearer of socially accepted behavioral norms and moral principles. Special attention is paid to the analysis of ethical and aesthetic oppositions through which human qualities are evaluated – virtue vs. vice, beauty vs. ugliness, nobility vs. baseness, and others. The comparative analysis reveals both universal and ethnospecific features of the axiological interpretation of humans in the two linguocultures. The findings demonstrate that proverbs not only express national and cultural identity but also embody universal human values that shape the worldview and moral coordinates of native speakers.
