COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF IDIOMATIC EXPRESSIONS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK

This article explores idiomatic expressions in English and Uzbek from a comparative linguistic perspective. Idioms are an essential part of the vocabulary of any language because they reflect the cultural values, traditions, historical experiences, and worldview of a particular speech community. The article examines the semantic, structural, and cultural characteristics of idiomatic expressions in both languages. It also identifies similarities and differences in their meanings, formation, and usage. Special attention is given to the challenges of translating English idioms into Uzbek and vice versa. The study demonstrates that although English and Uzbek idioms may have different linguistic structures, many of them express similar human experiences, emotions, and social relationships.
