Abstract

This article explores the role of embodied cognition in Uzbek and English kinetic expressions, focusing on conceptual metaphors related to motion, emotion, and social meaning. The study examines how bodily experiences are encoded in language through gestures, movements, and metaphorical expressions. A comparative analysis reveals both universal patterns and culture-specific differences in the conceptualization of physical and emotional experiences. The findings highlight the importance of embodiment in shaping linguistic meaning and intercultural communication.
