CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS OF PROVERBIAL PHRASEOLOGISMS ON THE CONCEPT GEORTONYM IN UZBEK AND ENGLISH LANGUAGES

Abstract

Abstract. This article presents a contrastive study of tongue twisters in the Uzbek and English languages. Tongue twisters are considered as special phonetic-textual units that serve both linguistic and cultural functions. The study focuses on their phonetic structure, lexical composition, functional characteristics, and linguocultural specificity. Through comparative analysis, similarities and differences between Uzbek and English tongue twisters are identified, revealing how each language reflects national phonological systems and cultural traditions.
