The category of linguistic personality is key to understanding the relationship between language, thought, and culture. The written heritage of Central Asian thinkers (Abu Rayhan Beruni, Abu Ali ibn Sina, Abu Nasr al-Farabi, Al-Khorezmi, Alisher Navoi, Zahiriddin Babur) represents a unique resource for linguocultural analysis. However, to date, their linguistic models have not been the subject of a specialized interdisciplinary study at the intersection of linguistics, conceptual history, and discourse analysis. The aim of this study is to identify and describe the configuration of basic concepts (reason, knowledge, love, justice, spirituality) in the linguistic personality of six Central Asian thinkers, as well as to establish the specific ways in which the culture-preserving function is realized in their texts. The material consists of excerpts from canonical works in the original languages (Arabic, Persian, Old Uzbek). Methods of conceptual, intertextual, discursive, and linguostylistic analysis were applied. The linguistic features of each author are systematized: lexical dominants, syntactic structures, and pragmatic strategies. Five universal traits of the Eastern linguistic personality (didacticism, metaphoricity, hierarchicity, communality, orientation toward spiritual perfection) have been identified. It is shown how each thinker realizes these traits through specific linguistic means. In the Central Asian tradition, the linguistic personality performed not only a communicative function but also epistemological, axiological, and culture-preserving functions. The proposed analytical model can be applied to other corpora of medieval texts.
