National and Cultural Specificity of Colour-based Idioms in English and Uzbek: a Linguocultural Approach

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: The article examines the national and cultural specificity of English and Uzbek idioms containing colour terms. Three groups of units are distinguished: equivalents rooted in universal human experience, equivalents that appeared through borrowing and calquing, and non-equivalent units shaped by religion, history, economic life and the worldview of each people. The results may be used in teaching English, in translation practice and in media discourse.
