Abstract
This article examines the linguo-cultural characteristics of professional terms and their relationship with national thinking. Professional terminology reflects not only technical knowledge but also cultural values, historical experience, and cognitive models of a society. The study aims to identify how professional terms are formed, stabilized, and interpreted within specific cultural contexts. Using comparative, descriptive, and semantic analysis methods, the research analyzes examples from various professional fields. The results demonstrate that terminology functions as a cultural code that reflects national mentality and worldview. The study contributes to linguistics, terminology studies, and intercultural communication by highlighting the importance of cultural factors in professional language development.
