Abstract

This article presents a comparative linguocultural analysis of phraseological units representing the concepts “man” and “woman” in English and Karakalpak languages. The study examines how gender images are constructed through stable figurative expressions and how these linguistic forms reflect cultural values, social norms, and collective worldview. Particular attention is paid to somatic metaphors, evaluative semantics, and structural features of phraseological units. The analysis demonstrates that masculinity in both languages is predominantly associated with courage, honor, strength, and social responsibility, whereas femininity is conceptualized through motherhood, modesty, compassion, and domestic harmony. At the same time, the research reveals both universal metaphorical mechanisms and culturally specific evaluative orientations. The findings confirm that phraseological units function as carriers of historical memory and gender ideology within linguistic systems..
