The present study investigates the linguocultural and cognitive representation of human inner experience through somatic phraseological units in English and Uzbek languages. Somatic phraseological units constitute a unique layer of phraseology because they reflect the anthropocentric nature of language and demonstrate how speakers conceptualize emotional, psychological, intellectual, and moral phenomena through bodily imagery.
The research confirms that somatic phraseological units function as important linguistic markers of national identity and cultural worldview. Furthermore, the study contributes to comparative phraseology, cognitive linguistics, and intercultural communication by revealing the role of bodily experience in the formation of phraseological meaning.
