Keywords:
Sincerity, samimiylik, linguoculture, conceptual analysisAbstract
This article provides an in-depth analysis of the linguocultural, semantic, and communicative-pragmatic nature of the concept of “sincerity/samimiylik” in English and Uzbek. The study offers scholarly insights into the criteria for evaluating sincerity in different cultures, its verbal representation, and its role in social interaction. The research is based on conceptual analysis, comparative-semantic approach, pragmalinguistic analysis, and corpus-based data. The findings demonstrate that the English concept of sincerity is closely associated with personal clarity, truthfulness, and individualism, whereas the Uzbek concept of samimiylik is intrinsically linked to warmth, openness, kindness, compassion, and collective values.
