Abstract

This article explores phraseology as a key subject of linguistic research, emphasizing its structural-semantic, cognitive, and linguocultural dimensions. Phraseology, which studies stable word combinations such as idioms, collocations, and proverbs, offers unique insights into the interplay between language, culture, and cognition. The paper traces the development of phraseology as a linguistic discipline and examines the contributions of structural-semantic, cognitive, and linguocultural approaches. Through a comparative analysis of phraseological units in Uzbek, Russian, and English, the study highlights universal cognitive mechanisms, such as conceptual metaphors, alongside cultural-specific linguistic patterns and values. This study contributes to broader discussions on linguistic diversity, cultural identity, and the role of phraseology in intercultural communication.
