Work Business Acumen in Paremeological Units of English and Uzbek: a Culture-linguistic Literature Review
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This literature review examines the concept of work/business acumen as reflected in paremeological units in English and Uzbek languages from a culture-linguistic perspective. The central goal of the study is to analyze the expressions and proverbial constructions pertaining to work and business acumen and to compare these expressions in view of cultural influences. Drawing on theoretical frameworks from cultural semiotics and culture-linguistic theory, the study reviews sources dating from the early 20th century to the present. Emphasis is placed on definitions, explanations, and the evolution of work/business acumen expressions in two linguistic traditions. The review also investigates how cultural contexts have shaped these paremeological units in each language. Key outcomes include the identification of parallel idiomatic expressions, insights into the historical persistence of work-related proverbs, and an appraisal of how cultural ideologies are embedded in linguistic practices. This work has significant implications for future research in interdisciplinary linguistic and cultural studies.
