Abstract: Phraseological units represent an important layer of language that
reflects both linguistic structure and cultural worldview, playing a significant role in
the expression of abstract concepts in specialized fields such as economics. This article
explores the linguistic features of phraseological units related to the field of economics
in the English and Uzbek languages, with the aim of identifying their structural,
semantic, and functional characteristics. Economic phraseology is of particular interest
due to its metaphorical nature and its widespread use in professional discourse, media
texts, and everyday communication. The study applies descriptive and contrastive
methods to analyze economic phraseological units selected from dictionaries,
economic texts, and media sources. Special attention is paid to their semantic
motivation, metaphorical foundations, and degree of idiomaticity. The analysis reveals
that many economic phraseological units in both languages are based on universal
conceptual metaphors such as economy as movement, struggle, growth, and
mechanism, while others reflect culture-specific images and national experience.
