Abstract

This paper examines the structural and syntactic characteristics of riddles that incorporate somatisms in English and Uzbek. The study explores how body-related expressions are embedded in riddles, comparing their syntactic patterns, lexical choices, and metaphorical implications. Through a comparative approach, it identifies similarities and differences in the use of somatic elements within the cultural and linguistic contexts of both languages.
