A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ENGLISH AND UZBEK BODY METAPHORS

This study examines body-based metaphors in Uzbek and English, focusing on how body parts like the heart, head, and hand are used to express ideas such as emotion, intelligence, morality, and social values. The results show that both languages use similar metaphors for some body parts, however, there are important cultural differences. For example, in Uzbek, the liver "jigar" is used to show love and affection, which is not common in English.

Abstract

This study examines body-based metaphors in Uzbek and English, focusing on how body parts like the heart, head, and hand are used to express ideas such as emotion, intelligence, morality, and social values. The results show that both languages use similar metaphors for some body parts, however, there are important cultural differences. For example, in Uzbek, the liver "jigar" is used to show love and affection, which is not common in English.
