Linguoculturological study of tourist place names in Andijan

This study examines Andijan’s tourist place names through a linguoculturological approach, highlighting their origin, meaning and role in the transmission of local cultural identity. Place names, often rooted in history, geography and popular beliefs, reflect the collective memory and socio-cultural values of the Uzbek people. By analyzing the place names associated with Andijan’s historical sites, monuments and landscapes, this work highlights their importance not only linguistically, but also in terms of heritage, and proposes a reflection on their place in the development of cultural and educational tourism in the region.
