This thesis explores the reflection of the linguistic worldview (linguistic
picture of the world) in English and Uzbek fairy tales through a comparative
linguocultural analysis. The linguistic worldview is understood as a system of
concepts, values, cultural stereotypes, and cognitive models embedded in
language that shapes a nation’s perception of reality. The study reveals both
universal archetypes common to world folklore — such as the triumph of good
over evil, trials and tests, magic helpers, and enchanted objects — and culture
specific elements rooted in historical, geographical, and religious contexts.
English fairy tales often highlight individual heroism, personal destiny,
adventure, and social mobility, reflecting Western European (Celtic, Anglo
Saxon, medieval) values of freedom, courage, and individualism. In contrast,
Uzbek fairy tales emphasize collective ethics, family harmony, communal
justice, wisdom (donolik), patience, and harmony with nature, influenced by
Turkic nomadic traditions, Islamic motifs, and Central Asian geography.
