A LINGUASTRUCTURAL STUDY OF PROVERBS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

Proverbs are concise, traditional sayings that reflect the wisdom and values of a culture. This article presents a linguastructural study of proverbs in English and Uzbek, analyzing their syntactic and structural patterns. By examining the grammatical construction, phrase structure, and morphosyntactic elements of proverbs, this study aims to uncover the commonalities and differences in how each language encodes meaning through structure. The analysis reveals that both languages favor compact, rhythmic expressions but differ significantly in morphological complexity and syntactic formation. The study concludes that proverbs are not only linguistic artifacts but also cultural mirrors, with structure playing a crucial role in shaping their interpretative potential.
