Abstract

In this scientific paper, the semantic modeling of linguistic metaphor units is
thoroughly studied in English and Uzbek. Metaphors have been described based on
Lakoff and Johnson’s (1980) conceptual metaphor theory and a Kövecses (2005)
cognitive semantic model through mapping between the source and target domain,
conceptual structuring/structure, semantic extension mechanisms, and cultural
aspects. The study takes the reader into extremely deep research into the
commonalities, differences and culturally based peculiarities of metaphors that
represent emotion, time, intellect, social relations and human character in English and
Uzbek languages to a greater extent
