This article analyzes the concept of family values from sociolinguocultural and linguocognitive perspectives. The study explores how family values manifest through the interrelation of language, culture, and society. From a sociolinguistic perspective, the research examines the social functions of the family institution and their reflection in linguistic units. The linguocultural analysis identifies the lexical-semantic and cultural features of family values in Uzbek, German, English, and Russian languages. The linguocognitive approach reveals the cognitive models and metaphorical expressions of such concepts as family, respect, and love. The findings demonstrate that the concept of family values is multilayered and closely interconnected with both culture and cognition.
