Abstract

Language represents the spirit, mentality, and culture of a nation. The study of household vocabulary at the dialectal level is one of the important fields of linguistics, as it reflects the everyday life, customs, and traditional worldview of people through their linguistic expression. Household vocabulary consists of words and phrases used in daily communication and varies across regions due to phonetic, morphological, and semantic differences. These variations provide valuable insights into the historical development of the language and its cultural evolution. This research focuses on identifying and analyzing the distinctive features of household vocabulary in Uzbek dialects, examining their relationship with the literary language, their historical roots, and their role in contemporary speech. The analysis demonstrates that dialectal vocabulary not only enriches the national language but also preserves the linguistic heritage and social memory of the people. Comparative and structural methods were used to explore the linguistic and cultural interactions between dialects and standard Uzbek, highlighting the deep connection between language, culture, and identity.
