A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS TO THE NAMES OF FLORA AND FAUNA IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK
Main Article Content
Abstract
Creating and analyzing a system of terms related to fauna and flora in Uzbek and English is an important experience for linguists and linguistics specialists.This article presents a comparative linguistic analysis of phraseological units in English and Uzbek that incorporate the names of flora (plants) and fauna (animals). It examines the semantic and structural parallels and divergences in how these two linguistically distinct languages conceptualize and express human experiences, traits, and observations through the natural world. The study explores common conceptual metaphors, cultural specificities, and the degree of idiomaticity, highlighting both universal human perceptions and unique ethnocultural perspectives embedded within their respective phraseologies.
