Abstract

This article analyzes the semantic scope of toponymic units, their lexical-semantic features, and cultural-spiritual load from a linguocultural perspective. The internal form, external appearance, and historical-spiritual content of toponyms in English and Uzbek languages are studied. The article demonstrates that toponyms are products of cultural thinking, closely related to the worldview, customs, and socio-legal relations of the people.
