COGNITIVE AND LEXICO-SEMANTIC FEATURES OF PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS DESCRIBING HUMAN CHARACTER TRAITS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

This article examines the cognitive and lexico-semantic characteristics of phraseological units that express human character traits in English and Uzbek languages. Through comparative analysis, this study reveals both universal cognitive patterns and culture-specific conceptualizations of personality characteristics across these linguistically and culturally distinct language systems. The research demonstrates how phraseological units serve as linguistic repositories of cultural values, social norms, and collective psychological understanding of human nature.本文考察了英语与乌兹别克语中用以表达人类性格特质的熟语单位（phraseological units）的认知及词汇语义特征。通过对比分析，本研究揭示了在这两种语言与文化均存在显著差异的语言体系中，人格特质既存在普适性认知模式，又具有文化特异性的概念建构方式。本研究阐明了熟语单位如何作为承载文化价值观、社会规范以及对人类本性的集体心理认知的语言贮藏载体。
