THE USE OF METAPHORS IN UZBEK AND ENGLISH LANGUAGES
Аннотация
This thesis explores the use of metaphors in Uzbek and English languages, focusing on their linguistic, cognitive, and cultural aspects. Metaphor, as a significant means of human cognition and worldview representation, is widely used in both languages. In Uzbek, metaphors often carry spiritual and emotional meanings, while in English they tend to reflect practical and social life. A comparative analysis of metaphors in both languages reveals similarities and differences as well as conceptual metaphors that shape the worldview of each nation. The study also examines the influence of globalization on metaphorical units, highlighting how intercultural contact leads to the borrowing and adaptation of metaphors. The findings indicate that metaphor is not only an artistic device but also a reflection of cultural heritage, human cognition, and social values.
