This article analyzes the phrasio-semantic characteristics of the conceptual notion of “joy” in English and Uzbek. The main goal of the study is to identify linguistic and cultural similarities and differences in the expression of joy in both languages. A
comparative approach is used, focusing on the semantics of phraseological units, metaphorical expressions, and cultural contexts. The findings show that in both languages, the concept of joy is often expressed through metaphors of elevation, flying,
and height; however, English tends to use imagery such as “clouds” and “sky,” whereas Uzbek favors metaphors involving “mountains.” This article is useful for those interested in linguistics, phraseology, and intercultural communication.
