SYMMETRIC FEATURES OF ADJECTIVAL PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK
Abstract
This article explores the symmetric features of adjectival phraseological units in English and Uzbek languages. Symmetry in phraseological structures manifests through binary or parallel components that exhibit balance in meaning, rhythm, and stylistic effect. The research analyzes typical structural and semantic features of symmetric adjectival expressions, such as binomials and tautological pairs, in both languages. Comparative analysis reveals that while English often emphasizes contrast and parallelism (e.g., “black and white”), Uzbek tends to use intensifying and synonymous pairs (e.g., “baland va past”). The study highlights the cognitive, cultural, and stylistic significance of symmetry in expressing evaluative meaning and emotional coloring in phraseological systems.
