Abstract

This expanded article investigates the foundations and applications of Conceptual Metaphor Theory, extending the discussion with additional theoretical perspectives, comparative linguistic examples, and methodological insights. The paper explores how conceptual metaphors structure cognition, reflect cultural patterns, and influence communication in Uzbek and English. Findings demonstrate that metaphor is integral to reasoning, discourse, and cultural worldview, confirming its importance in contemporary cognitive linguistics.
