INTERLINGUAL EQUIVALENTS OF METEOROLOGICAL-ATMOSPHERIC SEMANTIC LAYER IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK

The interplay between language and cognition has long been a central issue in linguistics. Idiomatic expressions, particularly those based on meteorological and atmospheric phenomena, encode a nation’s worldview, attitudes toward nature, and cultural values. This paper investigates the interlingual equivalents of meteorological-atmospheric idioms in English and Uzbek. Drawing on translation studies and comparative linguistics, it analyzes semantic, symbolic, and cultural dimensions, highlighting full, partial, and zero equivalence in translation.
