THE ROLE OF LANGUAGE IN THE FORMATION OF RELIGIOUS AND MYTHOLOGICAL CONCEPTS IN THE HUMAN MIND (BASED ON MATERIALS FROM ENGLISH, UZBEK, AND KARAKALPAK LANGUAGES)

Abstract

Language plays a crucial role in shaping religious and mythological concepts within human cognition. This article examines how language influences the formation of these concepts, drawing on examples from English, Uzbek, and Karakalpak languages. By analyzing linguistic elements in these languages, we explore how cultural and religious beliefs are embedded in and transmitted through language, contributing to the development of collective and individual worldviews.
