Abstract
The present study examines the linguocultural representation of human emotions and inner experiences through somatic phraseological units in English and Uzbek languages. Somatic phraseological units constitute a significant part of phraseological systems because they reveal the anthropocentric nature of language and demonstrate the ways in which human beings conceptualize abstract notions through bodily experience. The research focuses on phraseological expressions containing body-part components such as heart, head, eye, hand, face, and tongue, which are actively used to describe emotional, psychological, moral, and cognitive states.
The findings reveal that somatic phraseological units function as important linguistic markers of national mentality and cultural identity. Furthermore, the study contributes to comparative phraseology, cognitive linguistics, intercultural communication, and linguocultural studies by highlighting the role of bodily imagery in the formation of conceptual systems.
