This article explores the pragmatic interpretation of culturally embedded lexical units related to family upbringing in English and Uzbek. Drawing upon a comparative intercultural framework, the study examines how terms such as parenting, discipline, and nurture in English and their Uzbek equivalents tarbiya, odob, and parvarish function within different socio-cultural contexts. Through qualitative methods including componential semantics, discourse analysis, and pragmatic context evaluation, the research highlights how each term conveys unique connotations tied to cultural ideologies, social expectations, and emotional values.
