Abstract
This article discusses cognitive linguistics, one of the areas of the anthropocentric
paradigm. The views of world linguists on the concept and its types, methods of
conceptual analysis are analyzed. The methods of conceptual analysis are explained
by means of comparisons. It is well known that man's knowledge of the surrounding
world is expressed through concepts. These concepts are a mental-intellectual
structure embodied as a product of various mental activities of man. In the process of
thinking, a person deals with concepts, not with meanings and notions. Therefore the
concept is recognized as a unit of thought and set of knowledge that branched and
unified at one point. The article contains stable comparisons in the Uzbek language
for conceptual analysis and it is repeatedly acknowledged that the comparisons
reflect national and cultural connotations, richness of Uzbek language, and as well as
its importance as a mirror of traditions. The analysis focuses on the standard of
comparison, which reflects the uniqueness of people's perception and understanding
of the world. Therefore, the study of cognitive analysis in relation to comparisons is
one of the essential problems of anthropocentric linguistics.
