Abstract
This thesis analyzes the structural-semantic features of lexemic linguoculturemes used in Uzbek and English national cinemas in a comparative aspect. It describes the five stages of an ordinary lexical unit acquiring the status of a linguocultureme and the four historical-communicative stages of linguoculturemes. Cinema, as a type of media discourse, integrates verbal, visual, and auditory means, comprehensively reflecting the culture, lifestyle, and history of a nation. In national films, linguoculturemes, the linguistic form of culture, are manifested through characters' speech, clothing, rituals, and daily interactions. In the current era of accelerated globalization and intercultural communication, national films are becoming one of the main tools for introducing a nation's identity to other cultures. Therefore, a comparative study of linguoculturemes in Uzbek and English national cinemas from structural, semantic, and contextual perspectives is a pressing task for medialinguistics, linguoculturology, and comparative linguistics. The research material included Uzbek films "Mahallada duv-duv gap" and "Suyunchi," and English films "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and "A Private Function." A total of 180 linguoculturemes (80 from Uzbek, 100 from English cinema discourse) were identified, of which 134 were analyzed as lexemic linguoculturemes. Comparative, classification, component, semantic, structural, and contextual-pragmatic analysis methods were used in the study. Quantitative analysis showed the distribution of simple, derivative, compound (collocational), and paired lexemic linguoculturemes in films of both languages. The results can be applied in preparing educational materials for linguocultureme dictionaries, lexicology, linguoculturology, and comparative linguistics.References
