Somatic PhraseologismsAs A Reflection Of Human Conceptual And Cognitive Structures

Abstract

This article explores the cognitive foundations of somatic phraseological units in the Uzbek language and their role within the human conceptual system. From the perspective of the anthropocentric paradigm, the study examines the interrelation between language, cognition, and culture. The paper reveals their semantic and conceptual structures, as well as the mechanisms of meaning formation through conceptual metaphors and cultural-linguistic codes. The results show that somatic phraseological units constitute the core of the Uzbek conceptual sphere, embodying the unity of national cognition and culture.
