Abstract
This thesis provides a comparative linguacultural and cognitive analysis of the phraseological units containing the water component (hydronyms, idioms, and proverbs) in the English and Uzbek languages. The findings demonstrate that while both languages share cognitive universalities regarding water as a symbol of movement, impermanence, and hidden depth, their phraseological manifestations reflect distinct cultural models: English phraseology heavily projects water onto personal hardship, psychological state, and pragmatic risk management, whereas Uzbek phraseology highlights water as a life-giving, agrarian necessity essential for survival, environmental harmony, and social cohesion.
