LINGUISTIC CLASSIFICATION OF SOMATISMS RELATED TO HUMAN BODY PARTS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK
Abstract
This article examines cross-cultural and linguistic variations in the use of somatisms (body-based metaphors) in Uzbek and English. It examines how cultural values and grammatical structures shape the representation of abstract concepts through physical metaphors. The analysis reveals significant differences in the types of somatisms used, in particular, the emphasis on social cohesion and internal qualities, as opposed to individualistic thought and expression in Uzbek. Specific examples demonstrate the cultural significance of somatisms, revealing how they reflect deeply held cultural norms and beliefs. By comparing these two languages, the study illuminates the complex interrelationships between language, culture, and human cognition.
