This article examines the interrelationship between language and culture and the formation of linguoculturology as an independent field of modern linguistics. Culture is interpreted as a historically developed, multifaceted phenomenon encompassing material and spiritual values created by humanity, while language is viewed as both a reflection and a carrier of cultural experience. Drawing on the works of classical and modern scholars, the study highlights the role of language in preserving, transmitting, and shaping cultural identity. Special attention is given to the theoretical foundations of linguoculturology, its emergence at the intersection of linguistics and cultural studies, and its development through various scientific schools. The article also discusses the contributions of Western, Russian, and Uzbek linguists to the establishment and advancement of this discipline. The results demonstrate that linguoculturology focuses on the cultural semantics of linguistic units formed through the interaction of language and culture. The study underscores the significance of linguoculturological research for understanding national worldviews, communication behavior, and the continuity of cultural heritage.
