An Intertextual Analysis of Phraseological Units in English and Uzbek Short Stories

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This article examines the intertextual functions of phraseological units in English and Uzbek short stories, focusing on their connections with cultural memory, traditional expressions, and other texts. It explores how writers adapt familiar phrases to create new meanings, develop characters, express emotions, and enrich narrative style. The comparative perspective reveals both shared literary functions and culture-specific differences. The article argues that understanding phraseological units requires attention to their conventional meanings, cultural associations, and narrative contexts.
