Abstract: Metaphors are pervasive in political language, enabling abstract concepts like power to be communicated through concrete imagery. In political discourse, metaphors “structure what we perceive” and offer persuasive framing. This comparative study examines how metaphors of power operate in English and Uzbek political texts. Drawing on cognitive metaphor theory and recent analyses of political speeches and media, we identify dominant metaphorical themes in each language. In English discourse, metaphors such as war, journey, and machine commonly frame notions of authority and governance.
