Annotatsiya

This article conducts a comparative analysis of the category of number in English and Uzbek proverbs, focusing on its figurative, social, and philosophical dimensions. Drawing on paremiological corpora, the study examines how numerical expressions (e.g., "one," "two," "seven," "forty," "thousand") encode cultural worldviews. In English proverbs, numbers often reflect individualistic pragmatism and binary oppositions. In Uzbek proverbs (maqollar), they emphasize communal harmony, endurance, and symbolic multiplicity. Qualitative methods reveal universal cognitive patterns alongside language-specific cultural encodings.
