STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS EXPRESSING INTELLECT IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK
Keywords:
Phraseological units, intellect, English language, Uzbek language, structural analysis, semantics, cognitive linguistics, comparative studyAbstract
This article explores the structural features of phraseological units expressing intellect in English and Uzbek languages. Phraseological units, as fixed multi-word expressions, not only carry lexical meaning but also reflect cognitive and cultural patterns. Analyzing their structural properties provides insights into how abstract concepts such as intelligence, wisdom, and rational thinking are encoded and realized in different linguistic systems. The study focuses on identifying the internal structural patterns of intellect-related phraseological units, comparing English and Uzbek expressions, and examining their semantic, syntactic, and idiomatic characteristics.
