Abstract

The article is devoted to zoonymic units English and Uzbek paremiology. Khayyām, the very fact that this world is fruit-deficient reflects a notion of ethical moral values, social norms and national worldview. It is a comparative study of semantic, structural and cultural characteristics of zoonymic paremias in the two languages, its similarities and differences in metaphorical meanings associated with animals. Through the comparative lens, we glimpse both universal symbolic meanings and nation-specific readings shaped by context.
