Abstract: This article explores the significance of phraseological units in language acquisition, highlighting their role

in enriching vocabulary and enhancing linguistic expression. By examining the challenges associated with

translating Uzbek phraseological units into Russian speech, it sheds light on the complexities of semantic

transformation across languages. The proficient use of these stable combinations not only imbues language

with expressiveness and figurative nuance but also contributes to its richness and diversity. Through a

comprehensive analysis, this study underscores the importance of understanding and effectively incorporating

phraseological units in language learning and translation processes, thus facilitating more accurate and

nuanced cross-cultural communication.

1 INTRODUCTION

The introduction explores the intricate relationship

between language, culture, and perception,

highlighting how each nation's standard shapes its

subjective worldview. It underscores the significance

of phraseological units as expressions of cultural

values and collective identity, serving as a link

between past and present generations. Phraseological

units, as stable linguistic constructs imbued with

moral significance, encapsulate the essence of a

nation's ethos and serve as a testament to its cultural

heritage. Moreover, they play a pivotal role in

literature and language, enriching expression,

broadening horizons, and shaping perspectives. By

examining the emotional and moral dimensions

embedded within phraseological units, the

introduction underscores their capacity to convey

subjective attitudes towards people, events, and

objects, thereby enhancing the depth and figurative

nature of language while facilitating nuanced

assessments.

2 LITERATURE REVIEW

The efficacy of phraseological units lies in their

ability to imbue the speaker's discourse with vitality

and vigour, serving as discernible markers of a

nation's speech ethos. These stable expressions,

constituting a unique amalgamation of words,

intricately reflect the linguistic and cultural nuances

inherent to a particular community. At various

linguistic levels, including phonetic, morphological,

and grammatical dimensions, the distinctiveness and

national character are palpable, with phraseology

serving as a vibrant repository of these traits. V.N.

Telia, in her seminal monograph, underscores the

significance of phraseological compositions as a

reflection of a linguistic-cultural community's

national identity. Furthermore, she elucidates that the

specificity of a given nationality finds its embodiment

in phraseological idioms.

Unlike free phrases where lexical substitutions are

permissible, phraseological units rigidly adhere to

their constituent components, resisting alterations in

linguistic form. Verbal phraseological units, as

highlighted by S.G. Gavrin and A.K. Myrzashova,

constitute a substantial proportion of the Russian and

Kazakh phraseological corpus, with verbs serving as

their linchpin. F.G. Huseynov succinctly defines

verbal phraseological units as structural-semantic

entities imbued with categorical action meanings and

grammatical features inherent to verbs, underscoring

their pivotal role in language expression.

3 DISCUSSION

Interpretation of Verbal Phraseological Units

1. Verb Phraseological Units:

• Denote processes, states, activities, or

attitudes towards someone/something.

• Act as predicates in sentences.

• Examples: "лезть в голову" (to meddle),

"набраться духа" (to gather courage),

"перемывать косточки" (to settle a score),

"купить кота в мешке" (to buy a pig in a

poke), "бросать камешки в огород" (to stir

up trouble).

2. Verbal - Propositional Phraseological Units:

• Indicate emotional or physical states of a

person and aspects of the surrounding world.

• Also convey the possibility or impossibility

of performing an action.

• Serve as predicates in sentences.

• Examples: "ухом не ведет" (doesn't

understand), "мутить воду" (to dodge the

issue), "тише воды, ниже травы" (as quiet

as a mouse), "дать волю языку" (to speak

freely), "в мгновение ока" (in the blink of

an eye), "

смотреть сквозь пальцы" (to turn

a blind eye), "пальчики оближешь"

(finger-licking good).

Comparative Analysis with Uzbek Phraseology:

• Both languages exhibit similarities and

differences in phraseological productivity.

• Uzbek phraseology comprises differential

expressions, sayings, proverbs, and phrases.

• Analogies between Russian and Uzbek

phraseology:

• Composition of phraseology: "елкама -

ради Бога" (for God's sake), "иметь в

виду - назарда тутмок" (to keep in

mind), "как две капли воды - икки

томчи сувдек" (like two peas in a pod).

• Full borrowing of phrases: "сувдан

курук чикмок" (to emerge unscathed),

"кузга ташланмок" (to stand out),

"пашшадан фил ясамок" (to make a

mountain out of a molehill).

• Variability of phraseological units: "до

последнего дыхания - до последней

капли" (until the last breath), "терисига

сигмай

кетди - боши кукка етди" (to be

stubborn), "капалаги учмок - екасыни

ушламок" (to close one's eyes to

something).

• Invariability of phraseological units:

"катикни пуфлаб ичмок" (to swallow a

lump), "кур хассасини бир марта

йукотади" (to give a lecture).

• Despite some similarities, Uzbek

phraseology exhibits fewer analogues,

emphasizing local specificity.

Role of Phraseological Units in Language:

• Serve as style-forming elements and

enhance the quality of speech and thought.

• Contribute to grammatical and stylistic

richness.

• Reflect cultural and historical aspects of a

community.

• Occupy a significant place in language

development and expression.

Functional-Semantic Analysis:

• Verbal phraseological units are structurally

and semantically complex, often involving

verbs as predicates.

• Uzbek and Russian phraseological units

share semantic equivalence but may differ in

structure and object.

• Comparative analysis aids in understanding

the linguistic and cultural nuances of both

languages.

Conclusion:

• Comparative typology facilitates the study

of phraseological units in Russian and

Uzbek languages.

• Priority tasks include describing the history

and formation of phraseological units,

analysing their logical and conceptual

aspects, and characterizing trends in their

development.

• The study aims to deepen understanding and

promote effective usage of phraseological

units in both languages, benefiting linguists,

writers, and language learners.

4 CONCLUSION

The exploration of phraseological units in Russian

and Uzbek languages marks a significant

advancement in linguistic studies, particularly in the

domain of predicative combination models. By

delving into the semasiological aspects of

phraseology, this research unveils systemic

relationships inherent in the vocabularies of both

languages. At the synchronous stage, the study

highlights the pivotal role of phraseology, laying the

groundwork for a deeper understanding of its

implementation in Russian and Uzbek linguistic

landscapes. Through synchronous-comparative

analysis, new insights emerge, offering

methodological frameworks applicable in various

linguistic analyses, from literary texts to

terminologies in psychology.

Furthermore, the study underscores the necessity

of preserving the national spirit and colour within

phraseological units, as they reflect the unique

characteristics of each language and its people. As

evidenced by the similarities in form and semantics,

and the convergence in lexical and grammatical

features, this comparative exploration sheds light on

the intricate interplay between languages, enriching

our understanding of linguistic diversity and

complexity.
