Abstract

Readers worldwide have been captured by the Gothic style in literature, which is characterized by themes of the supernatural, darkness, and mystery, and has resonated across various cultural contexts. Its components mirror universal human concerns through a distinctively dark lens, revealing deep-rooted cultural fears, moral dilemmas, and social anxieties. The underlying meanings of Gothic works are crucially revealed through linguistic analysis, which investigates language within its cultural context. Linguocultural perspectives offer more comprehensive interpretations of Gothic themes by examining language choices, cultural references, and symbolism, thereby revealing the ways in which they differ across cultures and time periods. In this review, we investigate the significance and cultural profundity of the Gothic style by examining the role of linguocultural analysis.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze gothic lexemes in Abdulla Qahhor’s Dahshat and Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper to understand how language reflects fear, identity, and cultural repression. Using qualitative textual analysis, the study explored semantic fields related to death, madness, and female agency within two contrasting cultural contexts. The analysis revealed that Dahshat employs external folkloric lexicon rooted in oral tradition and religious rites, while The Yellow Wallpaper uses symbolic language to depict internalized psychological horror. These differences emerge because each text mirrors culturally specific models of fear—socialized and communal in Uzbek society, individual and medicalized in 19th-century America. The research contributes to language and literature education by promoting critical awareness of culture and gender in text analysis, supporting Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 4 and 5). The findings offer pedagogical applications in linguocultural literacy, encouraging transdisciplinary teaching in literature, gender studies, and cross-cultural communication.
