A COMPARATIVE SEMANTIC ANALYSIS OF PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS EXPRESSING HUMAN QUALITIES IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

Abstract

This article analyzes the comparative-semantic features of phraseological units expressing human qualities in the English and Uzbek languages. The study examines the semantic structure of phraseological units expressing both positive and negative human qualities based on the materials of the two languages, as well as their semantic groups and their role in the language system. In addition, semantic components such as evaluation, emotionality, and expressiveness reflected in phraseological units are comparatively analyzed. The results of the study reveal the common and national-cultural features of phraseological units in English and Uzbek and highlight the specific characteristics of phraseological means used to express human qualities. The findings of the research have significant theoretical and practical importance for studies in comparative linguistics, phraseology, and linguoculturology.
