VISUAL METAPHOR UNIVERSALS IN UZBEK KARAKALPAK AND ENGLISH

Аннотация

Scientists from a variety of fields have long been interested in metaphors. With the recent emergence of cognitive linguistics, a new method for studying metaphors from various perspectives has been developed. Metaphors have therefore been studied from an anthropocentric perspective, which holds that human factors are crucial to the genesis and evolution of all language and cognitive units. The conceptual metaphor theory and cognitive metaphor universals have been examined in the context of the English and Uzbek languages in this article. Keywords: concept, conceptual metaphor, cognitive metaphor, metaphor universals.
