METAPHORICAL OR IDIOMATIC FEATURES OF PAREMAS FORMED ON THE BASIS OF MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

Abstract

This article explores the metaphorical and idiomatic features of paremas (proverbs and idioms) that are formed based on medical terminology in English and Uzbek languages. By examining how medical concepts are metaphorically used in paremas, the study highlights cultural and linguistic differences and similarities between the two languages. The analysis reveals how medical metaphors and idioms reflect societal attitudes towards health and illness and influence communication in both languages.
