Abstract

This paper explores the role of metonymy in expressing national identity within Uzbek and English languages. Metonymy, a fundamental cognitive and linguistic mechanism, is not only a stylistic device but also a reflection of a society's cultural values and worldview. By comparing the national-specific metonymic structures in both languages, this article reveals how language encodes cultural perspectives, social institutions, and identity markers. The paper further highlights key differences and similarities, supported by linguistic examples from various domains such as politics, geography, cuisine, and traditional expressions.
