In this article, the linguo–cognitive interpretation of the
concept of “person (인간)” is analyzed on a broad scale through a
linguopoetic approach. The concept of person is explained as a
cognitive unit directly connected with human thinking, national
worldview, and cultural values, and several issues are identified in
understanding lexical – semantic, phraseological, and stylistic
means during linguo poetic analysis. The study scientifically
substantiates the necessity of analyzing the national–cultural
characteristics of the concept of person, its linguopoetic means of
expression, as well as its ethical and spiritual layers based on Uzbek
and Korean literary works. Such an approach demonstrates, from the
perspective of cognitive linguistics, the intrinsic connection
between language, thought, and culture in the concept of person.
The article conducts research using conceptual analysis,
comparative–linguopoetic, and cognitive–semantic methods. As a
result, the concept of person is interpreted as a central semantic unit
that represents an individualʼs personal and social essence, moral
values, and national identity. In Uzbek and Korean literary texts, this
concept is expressed through metaphorical and emotional means
characteristic of the national mentality, worldview, and system of
values. At the same time, the analysis of Korean literary works
enables students to extract the main ideas, understand different
semantic layers, and, when comparatively studying them with
Uzbek literary works, more deeply comprehend their semantic and
aesthetic dimensions.
