THE CONCEPT OF MIND IN LANGUAGE AND THOUGHT: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ENGLISH AND UZBEK PERSPECTIVES

This article presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of the concept of mind as reflected in language and thought, with particular focus on English and Uzbek perspectives. The study explores how linguistic structures and cultural frameworks influence the conceptualization of cognitive processes, including reasoning, memory, consciousness, and emotional experience. The concept of mind is examined as a multidimensional construct that integrates both abstract and context-dependent elements, shaped by socio-cultural and linguistic environments. The analysis highlights that in English, the term “mind” functions as a broad and flexible category encompassing various cognitive and emotional processes, often expressed through metaphorical extensions. In contrast, the Uzbek language demonstrates a more differentiated approach by employing multiple lexical units such as “ong,” “aql,” and “fikr,” each representing specific aspects of mental activity.
