ANALYSIS OF “FREEDOM” CONCEPT BY MEANS OF ENGLISH AND UZBEK PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS
Abstract
This article explores the polysemous nature of the lexeme “free” and its phraseological units in English, illustrating how context, collocation, and cultural factors influence its varied meanings. Drawing upon theories of lexical semantics, phraseology, rhetoric, etymology, and paremiology, the analysis highlights the lexeme's flexibility across domains, ranging from legal clarity to casual comfort and metaphors of liberation. By integrating interdisciplinary perspectives, the study deepens our understanding of how freedom is conceptualized and expressed globally, emphasizing the interplay between language and culture in encoding fundamental values.
