Idiomatic expressions, deeply rooted in the cultural and cognitive systems of a language, pose a unique challenge for learners and researchers alike. This study explores the cognitive and pragmatic aspects of idiomatic expressions in English and Uzbek languages, aiming to uncover how they reflect conceptual metaphors, cultural identity, and communicative intent. Drawing on the principles of cognitive linguistics and pragmatics, the article analyzes common idioms in both languages, highlighting their figurative meanings, sociocultural relevance, and usage contexts. The comparative approach reveals significant differences and overlaps in idiom formation, conceptual mapping, and pragmatic function. Particular attention is given to how cultural values shape idiomatic meaning and how idioms contribute to discourse coherence and interpersonal communication. The findings offer valuable insights for linguists, translators, and educators interested in cross-cultural communication and second language acquisition. This research ultimately promotes deeper understanding of the cognitive-cultural fabric underlying idiomatic language in English and Uzbek.
