Abstract

Linguaculturology is a new branch of linguistics, which represents linguistic and cultural picture of each nationality. The paper contains an analysis of some terms with the seme of “illness” by implementing comparative, linguacultural, linguastatistical and other methods. By this research we could outline that the fund of Uzbek and British medical terms can serve as a valuable source which reflects the culture and outlook of both nationalities. Hence, the study helped to show more clearly ‘the intersection’ of Eastern and Western people. The linguoacultural aspect of medical terms has not yet been the subject of specific research in Uzbek linguistics.

Keywords:
