Comparisons and specificity of a national image (Based on materials about the Uzbek language)

Abstract

This article highlights the essence of such deep concepts as national consciousness, national thinking, national culture, national spirituality, national mentality and national character, which are components of linguistic culturology - a branch of anthropocentric linguistics; that is, linguistics centred on the person. In addition, the author claims that in the Uzbek language the standard of comparison as part of a stable comparison is at the core of a comparison, and other elements are united around it, comparisons are associated with evaluation and, in comparisons, gradation is expressed in terms of subjective and subjective-emotional relationships.
