Uzbek proverbs, metaphorical thinking, Cognitive linguistics, metaphor, Homeland concept, national values, language and thinkingAbstract
This article explores how the concept of "Homeland" is metaphorically expressed in Uzbek folk proverbs through the lens of cognitive linguistics. It identifies metaphorical models and schemas-such as "Homeland as Mother," "Homeland as Home," and "Homeland as Soul"- and examines their role in shaping the mental image of the homeland within the collective consciousness of the people. By analyzing how these metaphors convey cultural values, emotions, and patriotic sentiments, the study underscores the deep interconnection between language and thought. The findings contribute to the broader fields of linguistics, ethnolinguistics, and the study of national identity.
