This article presents an axiolinguistic analysis of English and Uzbek
proverbs, examining the cultural values and social norms embedded within these
linguistic expressions. Proverbs, as concise and memorable expressions of collective
wisdom, reflect the core values and beliefs of a culture. Through a comparative
analysis of selected proverbs from both languages, this study aims to uncover the
axiological (value-based) underpinnings that shape the moral and ethical landscapes
of English and Uzbek-speaking communities.
