Abstract

This article examines the challenges posed by phytonyms in global linguistics, focusing on the use of plant names in English and Uzbek languages to highlight national and spiritual characteristics through metaphorical compositions. It explores the influence of idiomatic metaphors involving plant names on spirituality and culture, delineating their core principles. Rather than viewing metaphors related to plant names as linguistic impurities or norm violations, they are regarded as enriching linguistic boundaries and enhancing the language's theoretical and practical potential. This study emphasizes the positive contribution of such metaphors to language dynamics, suggesting that they expand vocabulary and offer diverse expressive avenues within both English and Uzbek linguistic frameworks.
