PHRASEOLOGY AS A MIRROR OF CULTURAL ATTITUDES TOWARD PURPOSE AND ASPIRATION IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK
Downloads
This article examines phraseology as a linguocultural mechanism reflecting collective attitudes toward purpose and aspiration in
English and Uzbek. Proceeding from the assumption that phraseological units function as culturally and axiologically marked
linguistic signs, the study focuses on how idioms encode socially approved and culturally regulated models of goal-oriented
behavior. The analysis demonstrates that English phraseology predominantly conceptualizes aspiration through individual
agency, self-realization, and achievement orientation, whereas Uzbek phraseology foregrounds moral legitimacy of intention,
patience, endurance, and social harmony as essential conditions for purposeful striving
