This article examines the role of somatic idioms in character speech in German novels, highlighting their significance in characterization, emotional intensification, and socio-communicative interaction. Somatic idioms, understood as idiomatic expressions involving body parts, are deeply rooted in embodied cognition and cultural metaphors.

The findings suggest that somatic idioms serve not only as linguistic ornaments but also as powerful tools that make character speech more authentic, emotionally charged, and culturally grounded.

This thesis investigates the complex nature of translating English idioms into Uzbek, with a focus on the challenges posed by cultural, structural, and semantic differences between the two languages. Idioms, being culturally and contextually bound expressions, often carry meanings that cannot be directly translated without losing their original sense or emotional resonance. Drawing on the works of leading scholars in translation studies such as Peter Newmark, Eugene Nida, Mona Baker, and others, this study explores theoretical frameworks and practical approaches for dealing with idiomatic translation. Strategies such as paraphrasing, cultural substitution, dynamic equivalence, and metaphor mapping are analyzed. Through a series of practical examples, this research demonstrates how these strategies can be applied to effectively render idioms from English into Uzbek while preserving their intended meaning and stylistic effect. The findings underscore the importance of understanding both linguistic systems and cultural contexts to achieve accurate and meaningful translations.

The semantic qualification targets show that perceiving British and American figures of speech is a fundamental basis in concentrating on English colloquialisms.

This article explores the cultural dimension of antonymy in the Uzbek language by analyzing how commonly used oppositional word pairs reflect national values, social attitudes, and moral judgments. Moving beyond a purely semantic interpretation, the study adopts a linguocultural approach to show how antonyms in Uzbek—particularly as found in proverbs, idioms, and everyday speech—encode binary models of thought that are central to the community’s worldview. Pairs such as halol–harom, oq–qora, kattalik–kichiklik, and sabr–g‘azab do more than express contrast; they also carry symbolic, ethical, and emotional meanings shaped by tradition and cultural context. The paper also examines how these oppositions differ from their English or Russian equivalents, highlighting the importance of culture in shaping semantic asymmetry and the use of contrastive language.

Language learning is a dynamic process that goes beyond memorizing vocabulary and grammar rules.
