This study explores the relationship between embodied cognition and metaphor comprehension in English and Uzbek, analyzing how linguistic worldviews are shaped by cultural, historical, and ecological factors. Utilizing Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT), the research examines how abstract domains—such as time, emotion, and social relations—are understood through concrete sensory-motor experiences. A comparative analysis reveals that while universal embodied schemas (e.g., "Life is a Journey") exist in both languages, their specific elaborations diverge significantly. English metaphors emphasize individual agency and economic efficiency, while Uzbek metaphors prioritize community, moral endurance, and agrarian traditions. Psycholinguistic evidence suggests that the agglutinative nature of Uzbek and the analytical structure of English lead to different cognitive processing strategies. These findings have significant implications for cross-cultural communication, translation, and second-language pedagogy.
