Annotation: This article explores the semantic analysis of hyperonyms in Uzbek and English, focusing on the role of general terms that encompass more specific concepts (hyponyms) in both languages. By comparing the use of hyperonyms in categories such as animals, tools, vehicles, and food, the study highlights key similarities and differences in how each language categorizes the world. The research reveals that while English tends to use broader, more flexible hyperonyms, Uzbek hyperonyms are often influenced by cultural, historical, and environmental factors, reflecting a deeper connection to traditions and regional practices. This contrastive analysis not only enhances our understanding of semantic structures in both languages but also provides valuable insights into the role of hyperonymy in cross-cultural communication and translation studies. Through examining the cultural impact on language categorization, this study emphasizes the significance of hyperonyms in shaping meaning and organizing knowledge across language
