Abstract

This article analyzes the conceptual field of life, fate, and homeland in English and Uzbek literary texts. It argues that these concepts create a semantic and emotional framework through which characters understand themselves, society, and moral responsibility. The research relies on cognitive and comparative approaches and uses Mamatkulova’s interpretation of universal concepts as a theoretical foundation. The article shows that English texts often emphasize individual destiny and social self-definition, whereas Uzbek texts frequently connect the same concepts with collective memory, family, national belonging, and spiritual endurance.
