LINGUOCULTURAL FEATURES OF SOMATIC PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK

Аннотация

This thesis examines the linguocultural characteristics of somatic phraseological units (SPUs) in English and Uzbek. Somatic phraseological units—idioms and fixed expressions containing body-part lexemes—serve as an important linguistic mechanism for reflecting cultural worldview, national mentality, and cognitive patterns. Based on comparative and descriptive analysis, the study identifies semantic, structural, and cultural similarities and differences between English and Uzbek SPUs. The research relies on established phraseological and linguocultural theories and authentic lexicographic sources. The findings demonstrate that while many somatic metaphors are universal due to shared human embodiment, their figurative meanings, frequency, and pragmatic use reflect culturally specific conceptualizations in each language.
