This
article
analyzes
toponyms with topomorphic codes (Shom, Karshi,
Artak);
color-denoting
codes
(Kyziloyak,
Karakum, Sargai ota); attributive codes
(Shirinbuloq); ethnomorphic codes (Yovmit,
Goklang,
Gozoyakli,
Kalmyk
land);
anthropomorphic codes (Malik steppe, Shergozi
madrasah, Idris Baba madrasah), and mytho
theonym codes (Kohi Qaf, Khidir) used in
Kashkadarya folk epics such as "Nurali and
Semurg", "Turkman dahosi or Makhtumkuli" from
a linguocultural perspective. At the end of the
article, it is argued that by studying toponyms from
a linguocultural perspective, it is possible to draw
clear and correct conclusions about the history of
the people to whom they belong, their lifestyle,
customs, traditions and values, in general, their
culture and its reflection in the language.
