Linguistic and Cultural Foundations of Commercial Terms in French and Uzbek

Abstract

The French language, rich in history and culture, plays an important role in international trade. Trade terms not only express economic processes but also reflect the cultural context. This article analyzes the linguistic and cultural characteristics of French and Uzbek trade terms. This article examines the linguistic and cultural foundations of commercial terms in French and Uzbek. It analyzes the etymological development, semantic nuances, and cultural influences embedded in the commercial lexicons of both languages. The study highlights the role of language as a reflection of socio-economic structures, traditional trade practices, and modern globalization. Through comparative linguistic analysis, the paper seeks to uncover the similarities and differences in how each culture conceptualizes commerce and economic activity through language.
