Abstract
This article examines phraseological units with antonymous components in English and Uzbek, highlighting their role in reflecting cultural and cognitive perceptions of opposition and duality. These metaphorical and idiomatic expressions enhance expressive speech and stylistic nuance. The study analyzes their structural patterns, semantic features, and pragmatic functions, emphasizing their use in conveying contrast, irony, balance, and dual perspectives. Comparative analysis reveals universal and language-specific aspects, illustrating how each language employs antonymic elements. The findings deepen understanding of cross-linguistic idiomatic variation and the interplay between lexical opposition and cultural worldview.
