Abstract

This article examines the role of realia - culturally specific linguistic units - in Uzbek lullaby texts (alla), focusing on how they reflect national traditions, beliefs, and worldview. Lullabies, as a form of oral folklore, serve not only as expressions of maternal affection but also as a rich source of ethnolinguistic data. The analysis identifies various categories of realia, including those related to food (plov), clothing (atlas ton, doppı), household items (beshik), cultural rituals (tonbichar), and place names (Oqrabot). These elements represent linguistic markers of identity and embody deeply rooted cultural meanings. Particular attention is paid to how realia function within the communicative structure of lullabies and how they contribute to the symbolic transmission of national values across generations. The study concludes that lullaby realia serve not only as carriers of lexical and cultural information but also as key instruments in shaping the collective memory and worldview of the Uzbek people.
