Abstract
This article analyzes how the idea of “road” is used metaphorically and culturally in Uzbek and Russian languages. Using such an analysis, the study shows that the terms yo‘l and doroga not only state meanings but also symbolize morality, national identity and how life is perceived. Referencing old texts, proverbs, literature and theories on human thinking, the study distinguishes the key and secondary aspects of the idea of a road in both languages. The expression “life is a road” works in every culture and it means “faith, community and divine harmony” in Russian literature but “spiritual effort, fate and forgiveness” in Uzbek literature. Because of different religions and ideas, these differences point to the way culture and thought connect in the use of metaphors. The investigation adds to comparative studies in conceptual thinking by explaining how different cultures use certain metaphors differently.
