Summary
A comprehensive analysis reveals the linguistic and cultural dimensions of the concept 'Oriental Urban Locality,' centered on Parthian Fortresses of Nisa. The study identifies key lexemes, toponyms, and micro-toponyms—such as Samarkand, Bactra, and the Bibi-Khanym mosque—that encapsulate the essence of urban life along the Great Silk Road. Through etymological analysis, semantic interpretation, and conceptual mapping, researchers uncover how language units reflect broader cultural contexts, including landscapes (deserts, oases) and architectural elements (madrasahs, caravanserais). This methodology, applicable to any concept, exposes the periphery of the 'Oriental Urban Locality' framework, offering insights into its linguocultural peculiarities. The findings bridge linguistic research with historical geography, enriching our understanding of Central Asian urban development.
