This dissertation analyzes the semantic and stylistic features of the moral-evaluative categories “good” and “evil” in English and Uzbek from the perspectives of linguoculturology and cognitive linguistics. The study examines lexical units, proverbs, and sayings, as well as the usage of these categories in literary texts. The analysis employs the theory of semantic fields, the cognitive frame model, and comparative typology methods. As a result, both universal and culture-specific aspects of the concepts of good and evil in English and Uzbek cultures are identified.
