Analysis of Anthroponomical Components in English and Uzbek Phraseological Units

A phraseological unit is a linguistic construct comprising two or more words and conveys a single figurative meaning. Examples of such units include ‘mare’s nest’, ‘Queen Ann’s dead’, and ‘fair-weather friend’. There is a growing interest in studying the linguocultural aspect of phraseological units that incorporate onomastic components.
The study aims to analyze phraseological units that contain anthroponomical constituents. This is one of the most intriguing subsystems in every language and culture, including English and Uzbek. However, the anthroponomical component phraseological units in non-related languages such as English and Uzbek have not been studied to a satisfactory extent using various traditional and modern approaches. The study aims to analyze such units using several traditional and modern analyses, interpret the association between personal names and anthroponomical units, and track the etymology of phraseological units with personal names in several example sentences.
Anthroponomical phraseological units have a deep cultural significance as they are linked to a nation's history, psychology and traditions. These units contain anthroponyms, which are names of people, and their meanings are influenced by the origin and evolution of these names. Therefore, anthroponomical component phraseological units are associated with rigid cultural associations and personalities that are deeply ingrained in national memory.
The article discusses the use of personal names in the phraseological layer of the English and Uzbek languages, and how they represent culture through various linguistic approaches and sentence examples. The conclusion drawn is that anthroponomical component phraseological units in English and Uzbek are a result of the development of anthroponyms. These units have associations with the characters, activities, functions, qualities, physical and psychological states, behaviours, and historical roles of anthroponyms.
