COMPARATIVE PRAGMALINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

Phraseological units (PUs) are culturally embedded linguistic structures that often carry meanings beyond their literal interpretations. This paper examines the pragmalinguistic features of English and Uzbek phraseological units, analyzing their communicative purposes, cultural references, and usage patterns. By employing comparative and descriptive methods, the study aims to reveal both universal and culturally specific aspects of PUs in the two languages. The findings have implications for cross-cultural communication, translation, and language pedagogy.
