THE USAGE OF METOPHOR AND METONOMY IN THE UZBEK AND ENGLISH LANGUAGES
Keywords:
metaphor, metonymy, Uzbek language, English language, figurative language, cultural differences, linguistic comparison, cognitive mechanisms, communication, translationAbstract
This study looks at how metonymy and metaphor are employed in Uzbek and English and how they affect communication, perception, and meaning. By connecting abstract concepts to more tangible experiences, metaphors aid speakers of both languages in understanding them. Similarly, metonymy enables humans to effectively connect similar concepts in order to extend meaning. These figurative devices are used in both languages, although their frequency and meaning are influenced by linguistic and cultural variations. This study examines the similarities, differences, and cultural influences on figurative language by contrasting metonymic and metaphorical terms in Uzbek and English. The results provide vital insights into how these cognitive mechanisms function across languages and their importance in communication and translation.
