This article explores the motivational foundations of grammatical categories from the perspective of cognitive grammar. Cognitive grammar treats grammar not as an autonomous system but as an integral part of human cognition, reflecting how people conceptualize the world. The study focuses on how categories such as tense, aspect, mood, number, and case are semantically motivated and grounded in cognitive experience. The analysis reveals that grammatical structures are not arbitrary but are based on metaphorical and conceptual patterns that correspond to our perception, attention, and experience. Examples from English and Uzbek languages are used to illustrate how similar grammatical categories may arise from different motivational schemas. The paper highlights the role of conceptual metaphors and image schemas in forming grammatical meanings, offering insights for linguistic theory and language teaching. This cognitive approach enables a deeper understanding of the links between meaning and form in grammar, ultimately enhancing both theoretical linguistics and applied language studies.
