Abstract: The article identifies the research question that is, how aphorisms express cultural values, beliefs and worldviews in English and Uzbekistani cultures. It underlines the linguistic factor in the formation and the reflection of these attitudes through a structurally contrastive linguoculturological approach. Aphorisms are examined according to their thematic context—time, money, family, relationships, and work ethic—and their semiotic and metaphoric analysis is investigated. The approach that has been followed entails coming up with balanced corpora of aphorisms in both languages and comparing their thematic content, and the particular cultural contexts under which they are used. The theoretical theories which the research under consideration employs include linguistic relativity, cognitive linguistics, cultural linguistics, as well as paremiology. Some of them include; English aphorisms are found to be more self-centered and pro-market while the Uzbek aphorisms are more collectivistic, pro-social and more inclined to relation oriented.
