This article investigates the role of the lexical unit head (bosh) as a semantic nucleus within English and Uzbek lexical-semantic fields. The study applies a comparative structural and cognitive-semantic approach to identify how this lexeme organizes paradigmatic and syntagmatic relations in both languages. It analyzes the distribution of head/bosh across various semantic subfields – such as anatomy, leadership, cognition, and emotion – and explores how each function as a conceptual core from which idiomatic and metaphorical meanings emerge. The research reveals that both head and bosh serve as central lexical elements that link literal bodily reference with abstract domains like intelligence, authority, and selfhood. Furthermore, idioms and proverbs containing these lexemes demonstrate shared conceptual metaphors (e.g., “the head as the leader” or “the head as the seat of reason”) as well as culturally unique interpretations. The findings contribute to understanding universal and language-specific aspects of somatic semantics, emphasizing the importance of embodied cognition in meaning formation. The study’s results have implications for comparative linguistics, translation studies, and intercultural communication, enriching the theoretical foundation of lexical field analysis in bilingual contexts.
