Abstract

This article provides a concise overview of the study of Uzbek phraseological units from a linguocultural perspective. It summarizes the main stages of phraseological research in Uzbek linguistics and highlights the contributions of leading scholars who have examined phraseologisms through structural, semantic, cognitive, and linguocultural approaches. Special attention is given to recent studies analyzing religious, onomastic, food-related, and psychologically motivated phraseological units in comparison with other languages. The article emphasizes that Uzbek phraseologisms reflect national mentality, cultural worldview, and social experience, and notes the need for further comparative research, particularly with the Arabic language.
