Keywords:
mouth, concept, cognitive linguistics, verbalization, idioms, proverbs, phraseological units, English, Uzbek.Abstract
This article explores the cognitive and linguistic aspects of the concept “mouth” in English, Uzbek, and other languages. The study defines “mouth” as a universal concept reflecting both objective reality and social consciousness. It examines the structure of the concept, including its macro- and micro-fields, verbal and non-verbal attributes, as well as its semantic richness and multifunctionality. Special attention is given to the linguistic realizations of “mouth” in explanatory dictionaries, phraseological units, idioms, proverbs, and wise sayings. The article also analyzes derivative and compound forms of the lexeme, as well as its representation in word combinations, sentences, and texts. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of non-verbal expressions associated with the mouth (such as gestures and facial expressions) as integral components of communication.
