Abstract:
The article analyzes metaphorical and conceptual models of intelligence in English and Uzbek phraseology. It identifies dominant metaphors such as sharpness, light, motion, balance, and emptiness based on idioms from both languages. The study reveals that while English idioms emphasize rational speed and creativity, Uzbek idioms connect intellect with moral harmony and spiritual illumination. These differences reflect universal cognitive mechanisms shaped by distinct cultural values.
