Abstract

This study examines the linguocultural symbolism of colors in English and Uzbek proverbs. Color terms function as culturally loaded semantic units that encode emotional, moral, and social values. Proverbs, as concise carriers of folk wisdom, provide insight into cultural identity and collective consciousness. The research identifies both universal and culture-specific patterns of color symbolism, revealing how historical, social, and cultural contexts shape meaning. The findings contribute to comparative linguistics, translation studies, and cross-cultural communication.
