The thesis provides an in-depth analysis of the reflection of national culture through phraseological units in a linguo-cultural approach. The cultural codes of Uzbek phraseology are revealed through component analysis, conceptual analysis and metaphorical modeling, and the anthropocentric paradigm and linguo-cultural themes are discussed based on the theories of V. Teliya, V. Maslova and A. Verjbicka. Nomadic and agricultural elements, professional and somatic components in the Uzbek language are highlighted through examples. The results shed light on the inextricable link between language and culture, revealing ethnic creativity and national mentality, which suggests comparative and ethnolinguistic approaches for modern linguistic research.
