Abstract

This study examines the cultural and cognitive dimensions of food-based idioms in English and Uzbek. Unlike traditional approaches focusing only on semantic equivalence, this research highlights how food-related expressions encode cultural values and conceptual thinking. The findings demonstrate that such idioms function as cognitive tools reflecting everyday experience and social structure.
