So, the above examples illustrate cultural specifics of each language. By way of illustration let us compare terms of family relationship in Uzbek and English linguocultures. First of all, in Uzbek, there are more terms to denote family relations than in English, because the Uzbek people differentiate between the relatives on the mother’s side and those on the father’s: “тоға”, “хола” to call uncles and aunts on the mother’s side and the words “амаки”, “амма” on the father’s side, the word “амакивачча” to denote cousins on the father’s side and “холавачча” on the mother’s. However, in English, there are limited words to describe these kinds of relationships (uncle, aunt, cousin, cousine). This fact, in our opinion, emphasizes the role and significance of family and family relations in Uzbek linguoculture, and at the same time define its national specifics.

In conclusion, it should be stressed that despite different approaches to the classification of culture-specific vocabulary, they complement each other and embrace all spheres of life including political, social, historical, cultural, geographical, ecological, etc. isssues.
