THE REPRESENTATION OF NATIONAL WORLDVIEW IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK MEDICAL APHORISMS

Aphorisms are short and meaningful expressions that often reflect people's experience, beliefs, and values. Medical aphorisms are related to health, illness, medicine, treatment, and human wellbeing. They can also show how people from different cultures understand health and illness. This article studies the representation of national worldview in English and Uzbek medical aphorisms. The main aim is to identify common and culture-specific ideas in medical aphorisms in the two languages. The study focuses on such concepts as health, illness, healing, food, lifestyle, doctors, and traditional medicine. A comparative and linguocultural approach is used to analyze selected English and Uzbek medical aphorisms. The analysis shows that both languages contain similar ideas about the importance of health, prevention, healthy lifestyle, and moderation. However, some aphorisms also reflect cultural differences related to traditional healing, family, food, moral values, and social relationships. The study shows that medical aphorisms can be useful for studying national worldview and cultural values. It can also provide a basis for further research into the translation of medical aphorisms between English and Uzbek.
