COGNITIVE AND LEXICO-SEMANTIC FEATURES OF PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS DESCRIBING HUMAN CHARACTER TRAITS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

Through comparative analysis, this study reveals both universal cognitive patterns and culture-specific conceptualizations of personality characteristics across these linguistically and culturally distinct language systems. The research demonstrates how phraseological units serve as linguistic repositories of cultural values, social norms, and collective psychological understanding of human nature.
