ABSTRACT
Language is the chief means by which the human personality expresses itself and fulfills its basic need for
social interaction with other persons. Frantz Fanon said “to speak a language is to take on a world, a culture”
(F. Fanon, 2001). A person who knows a language perfectly uses a thousand and one grammar lexical,
phonetic rules when he is speaking. Language skills help us to choose different words and models in our
speech. By learning language we can introduce with different people’s tradition, their culture, religious and
physiological inner-world.

INTRODUCTION
Nowadays a number of scholars turn their attention to the science of phraseology. One of the ideas is
connected with the understanding of phraseological units as phenomena of culture, and therefore the
functioning of them is investigated in cultural context. Thus phraseology has entered the sphere of
sociolinguistics. In this section of our research we’ll, investigate some cultural identities of English and
Uzbek phraseological units.
One of the best definitions of phraseological units is as follows: it is a stable, coherent combination of words
with partially or fully figurative meaning. Phraseological units reflect the wealth of a language displaying
cultural paradigms of the speakers of a particular language. They reflect cultural archetypes of an ethnolinguistic community and help to make explicit the peculiarities of its world perception. Phraseological units
as the particular units of language came into the focus of linguists’ attention in the beginning of the 20th
century. In the second part of the 20th century these word-combinations became the object of scientific
investigation.
