LEXICAL-SEMANTIC PROPERTIES OF APHORISMS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

Abstract

Aphorisms, as concise and memorable expressions of general truths or principles, play a significant role in both English and Uzbek languages. These pithy statements encapsulate cultural wisdom, societal norms, and philosophical insights, reflecting the values and beliefs of their respective societies. The lexical-semantic properties of aphorisms are particularly intriguing, as they reveal not only the linguistic features of the expressions but also the deeper meanings and connotations embedded within them.
