LINGUISTIC FEATURES AND SOCIOLINGUISTIC FUNCTIONS OF PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ENGLISH AND UZBEK
Abstract
Phraseological units (PUs) are essential elements of language that carry cultural and linguistic significance. This study examines the linguistic structure of PUs in English and Uzbek, comparing their morphosyntactic, semantic, and functional characteristics. It also explores their sociolinguistic roles, including how they reflect cultural identity and social norms. By analyzing similarities and differences between the two languages, this research contributes to a broader understanding of phraseology in bilingual and cross-cultural communication.
