COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

Abstract

Phraseological units constitute one of the most expressive and culturally significant layers of language. They reflect the historical experience, traditions, values, and worldview of a particular nation. Unlike ordinary lexical units, phraseological expressions possess figurative meanings that cannot always be understood through the meanings of their individual components. As a result, phraseology occupies an important place in linguistic studies, particularly in comparative linguistics, translation studies, and intercultural communication.
