This article examines the representation of gender roles in Uzbek family vocabulary. Using a qualitative lexical-semantic andsociolinguistic approach, the study analyzes kinship terms and forms of address to identify how language reflects cultural norms and socialexpectations. The findings reveal a clear asymmetry in the representation of male and female roles, where men are associated with authorityand leadership, while women are linked to caregiving and domestic responsibilities. The study highlights the role of language inmaintaining traditional gender structures and suggests that these patterns may evolve under the influence of social change
