COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS WITH "SOMATIC" COMPONENTS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

This article presents a comprehensive comparative study of phraseological units with somatic components in English and Uzbek languages. Somatic phraseological units idioms containing body-part lexemes, represent one of the most productive and culturally marked layers of phraseology. The article aims to identify structural, semantic, cognitive, and linguacultural similarities and differences between English and Uzbek somatic phraseological units. The analysis reveals that both languages demonstrate universal anthropocentric tendencies in phraseological nomination, however, they differ significantly in metaphorical models, cultural symbolism, and pragmatic usage. The findings contribute to phraseology, contrastive linguistics, cognitive linguistics, and translation studies.
