Chapter I. Language analysis in cognitive linguistics

The topicality of the research is due to the fact that the new needs that confront the language as a result of the development of certain aspects of human activity lead to the enrichment of the vocabulary of the language by various means. These means primarily include verbalization of knowledge structures used in conceptualization of the external phenomenon.
Differences in the perception of the picture of the world by native speakers are verbally reflected in peculiar phenomena. In particular, a comparative analysis of compound words is important in identifying typological commonality and differences for studying the perception of the picture of the world by unrelated English and Uzbek peoples. Сompound words as a product of human cognition serve as a means of storing and translating the knowledge of native speakers about the world. The presence of several units in the process of verbalization of compound words proves the fact that they embody the principle of compactness (economy) in the language.
