Abstract. Linguistic worldview is a key concept in cognitive linguistics, reflecting the interaction of language, cognition, culture, and collective experience, serving as a conceptual model of reality encoded through language. This study examines its functional characteristics from a cognitive-linguistic perspective, focusing on its epistemological, conceptual-integrative, normative, identification, aesthetic, psychological, and dynamic functions. The results demonstrate that linguistic worldview not only represents reality but also organizes knowledge, maintains cultural continuity, shapes identity, and regulates cognitive and communicative processes.
