This article presents a comparative linguocultural investigation of ethnographisms in the English and Uzbek languages. Ethnographisms refer to lexical units that encode cultural, social, and material facets of a people’s daily life, traditions, and worldview. Through a combined ethnolinguistic and pragmatic analysis, the research examines the nature, classification, and cultural significance of ethnographisms in English and Uzbek, highlighting how linguistic structures reflect and shape cultural identity and inter-cultural understanding. The study also explores translation challenges and pragmatic equivalences of these culturally-bound lexical items. Findings reveal both universal patterns and culturally specific markers that distinguish the two languages’ ethnographic vocabularies, reinforcing the inseparable link between language and culture in ethnolinguistic research.
