Abstract
The objective of this research is to explore the linguistic representation of animal symbols in Uzbek and English, focusing on their use in phraseological units and proverbs. A combination of comparative and semantic analysis is employed to examine their lexical-semantic features and cultural significance. The findings highlight both similarities and differences between the two languages, showcasing universal traits and culturally specific nuances. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of how language reflects cultural perspectives through the lens of animal symbols.
