COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SYMBOLICAL MEANINGS OF NUMBERS IN THE ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES
Rejapov, Izzatbek
Abstract
This article analyzes the symbolic significance of numbers and phraseological units with number components in the English and Uzbek languages. It is known that the sacred and symbolic meanings of numbers are of particular importance in the expression of the linguistic world picture. During the research, attention was paid to studying the notion of symbols and their characteristics, the general meaning and symbolic significance of numbers. As the results of the research have shown, symbolic meanings of the numbers are represented in phraseological units of both English and Uzbek languages, being conditioned by universal symbolics of numbers. The article attempts to study the numbers as culturally marked language units (linguoculturemes) and determine a complex of interwoven symbolic meanings based on deep semantics of phraseological units with number components. The similarities of symbolic meanings of numbers are conditioned by commonalities of anthropocentric worldview and number system as well as by universals of perception and interpretation of the world, society and humankind with the help of number sacralization.
