This study explores the conceptual and cognitive influence of the structure of
English and Uzbek vocabulary on text formation. It examines how the inherent
differences in vocabulary systems between these two languages shape the way ideas
are conceptualized, categorized, and expressed. While English, a Germanic language,
relies on a relatively flexible vocabulary structure with an emphasis on compound
words and function words, Uzbek, a Turkic language, utilizes an agglutinative structure
with rich affixation to convey meaning. These structural differences significantly
impact the cognitive processes involved in language use, influencing both the way
speakers of each language perceive the world and how they form texts. By comparing
the vocabulary structures of English and Uzbek, this study highlights the role of
language in shaping thought, categorization, and expression, and examines the
implications of these differences for text formation, translation, and cross-linguistic
communication. The research also considers the possibilities for enhancing language
learning and intercultural understanding through a deeper awareness of how
vocabulary structure impacts cognitive processes and textual expression in each
language.
