This article explores the phenomenon of linguistic anthropomorphism from a linguocultural perspective. The study focuses on anthropomorphic units expressing motion, state, and qualitative attributes in the Uzbek language, highlighting their semantic, pragmatic, and cultural characteristics. The analysis demonstrates that such anthropomorphisms are closely connected with the national worldview, cultural values, and cognitive patterns. These linguistic units serve not only as artistic devices but also as cognitive mechanisms that shape human perception of reality, offering a unique window into Uzbek cultural thought.
