A Comparative Linguacultural Study of Metaphors in English and Uzbek Idioms and Proverbs
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study investigates the linguacultural representation of natural elements - water, sky, and earth - in English and Uzbek idioms and proverbs. Drawing on the framework of conceptual metaphor theory and cultural linguistics, it analyzes how these elements reflect distinct cultural values, worldviews, and emotional associations in both languages. The findings reveal that while universal experiences shape many metaphors, their interpretation and usage are deeply rooted in specific cultural environments, religious beliefs, and traditional practices.
