Cognitive-Pragmatic Analysis Of Uzbek And English Paremias: Unveiling The Mental Maps Of Two Cultures
Keywords:
Thinking process, Cultural context, Uzbek proverbs, English sayings, Meaning in use.Abstract
This article dives into the fascinating world of proverbs and sayings, not just as simple folk wisdom, but as complex mental structures. We look at how Uzbek and English speakers "think" through proverbs and how these short sentences actually work in real conversations. The study moves away from just translating words and instead focuses on how our environment—be it the busy streets of London or the hospitable mahallas of Uzbekistan—shapes our language. We find that while the logic might be similar, the cultural "flavor" makes each language unique.
