Abstract
This article examines the cultural coding embedded in lexical units that express wish and desire in English and Uzbek languages. This study analyzes the contextual and textual elements of Theodore Dreiser’s Sister Carrie and Abdulla Qodiriy’s O‘tgan Kunlar, focusing on how the semantics of wish-desire vocabulary embodies unique cultural values, perspectives, and linguistic traditions within the two language systems. The study delineates essential semantic distinctions in the conceptualization of "wish" and "desire" between English and Uzbek, indicating that although both languages feature extensive lexical fields for these concepts, their semantic breadth, connotative dimensions, and cultural implications vary markedly. The results add to contrastive lexicology and linguo-cultural studies by showing how language encodes culturally specific emotional and volitional states. They are based on four theoretical frameworks: Humboldt's inner form of language, the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, Lotman's semiosphere theory, and Lakoff and Johnson's conceptual metaphor theory.
