Linguacultural characteristics of English and Uzbek phraseological units with cooking utensils

Like many other linguistic units, phraseological units containing cooking utensils in English and Uzbek have been applied to diverse researches. However, little research has been done to explore linguacultural characteristics of phraseological units with cooking utensils in the English and Uzbek languages. This paper, based on the analysis, discusses the significance of phraseological units with cooking utensils in reflecting the national and cultural identity of the nation. The research findings indicate that the formation of phraseological units in each nation depends on national world picture of each nation, so the same concept might be expressed using different phraseological units in both studied languages. The article analyzes English phraseological units using their equivalents in Uzbek and demonstrates phraseological units reflecting the nation’s worldview and cultural identity. Based on this study we argue that more research is needed to investigate culturally marked phraseological units with cooking utensils in both languages. .
