This study explores the syntactic and grammatical features of religiously-themed
proverbs in English and Uzbek, focusing on the use of imperative, infinitive,
conditional, and subjectless sentence structures. While both languages employ these
structures to convey religious and moral messages, their usage and grammatical
realization differ significantly due to typological and cultural distinctions. English
proverbs tend to favor fixed structures with explicit subjects and articles, while Uzbek
proverbs make extensive use of elliptical, subjectless, and generalized-person
constructions. By analyzing these patterns, the research highlights the linguistic
embodiment of religious and ethical worldviews, showing how grammar acts as a
reflection of societal values and collective consciousness.
