SEMANTIC ANALYSIS OF APHORISMS IN THE ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES
Keywords:
aphorism, semantics, implicit meaning, metaphor, English language, Uzbek language, contrastive analysisAbstract
This article presents a comparative semantic analysis of aphorisms in
the English and Uzbek languages. Aphorisms are concise, expressive statements that
convey generalized wisdom and cultural experience through implicit and
metaphorical meanings. The study aims to identify the main semantic features of
aphorisms, analyze their meaning structure, and reveal similarities and differences in
semantic representation across the two languages. The research applies descriptive,
semantic, and contrastive methods. The findings show that while English aphorisms
tend to emphasize pragmatism, rationality, and individual experience, Uzbek
aphorisms are more oriented toward moral values, spirituality, and collective
consciousness.
