In the present article, the reflection of national worldview in cognitive metaphor and metonymy in the Uzbek language is examined on the basis of illustrative examples. At the initial stage, attention is given to the concept of metaphor and its main types. Simple, personifying, synesthetic, and cognitive metaphors are distinguished, and each type is subjected to systematic analysis. Cognitive metaphor is interpreted as a means of conceptualizing and comprehending the world. The formation mechanism of cognitive metaphor is explained through the interaction between donor and recipient elements. Different types of cognitive metaphors are identified, in particular structural, orientational, and ontological metaphors, and their distinctive features are determined with reference to examples drawn from literary works. In addition, cognitive metaphors based on the abstraction of action and the conceptualization of time are analyzed comprehensively and in detail. In each type of metaphor, the determining role of national perception is revealed, and the decisive influence of national worldview in cognitive metaphor is demonstrated. Furthermore, it is shown that cognitive metonymy also reflects the systematic knowledge of the world possessed by native speakers.
