This article examines the notion of "mythologeme" from a systematic perspective within cognitive-linguistic and semiotic frameworks. Initially, the historical and theoretical foundations of the terms "myth" and "mythologeme" are explored through the lenses of Jung, Lévi-Strauss, Cassirer, Barthes, and Meletinsky’s research. A myth is conceptualized not merely as a narrative of the past but as a linguistic structure that regulates social consciousness and covertly manifests phenomena through culturally determined symbols. The function of mythologemes as a knowledge structure is then elucidated in relation to frame, script, and conceptual metaphor theories. The article provides examples from Uzbek folk tales and world mythology, analyzing the narrative and semantic characteristics of mythologemes and their role in encoding forms of cultural memory and identity. The results of applied analysis demonstrate that the study of mythologemes holds significant scientific importance for understanding the internal mechanisms of human cognition, cultural stability, and the operational principles of semiotic systems. Mythologemes are not confined to the analysis of ancient myths but serve as a conceptual tool for exploring contemporary thought and culture. Positioned at the intersection of cognitive linguistics, cultural studies, and semiotics, mythologemes constitute a crucial layer of human knowledge. They not only preserve archetypal images but also organize knowledge within conceptual structures, forming frames that address society’s moral and existential questions. Methodology: cognitive-semiotic analysis and comparative textology. The conclusion affirms the theoretical and practical significance of considering mythologemes as a module of knowledge structure.
