PROVERBS 
(ON THE EXAMPLE OF ENGLISH AND UZBEK PROVERBS)

Abstract 
The anthropocentric paradigm allows to investigate the role of the human factor in linguistics 
in line with research objectives. This in turn puts man at the center of linguistics. The current 
proposal is based on the principles of the anthropocentric paradigm, which analyzes the 
linguocultural aspect of anthropocentric proverbs, i.e., the evaluation and imagery of the human 
gender, and illustrates them with examples. 
Introduction 
Proverbs are frequently used clear and concise words that express general truth or practical 
instructions. Their origins are rooted in oral traditions and do not change from generation to 
generation. As a transmitter and reflector of accumulated wisdom, they are usually accepted 
blindly; and is a reflection of the traditional values of society. In the context of gender and 
language relations, articles are of great importance because they reflect traditional power 
relations between genders. 
It should be noted that a new paradigm has emerged in world linguistics today as a result of 
continuous changes in the history of linguistics and the development of society. In particular, 
this scientific paradigm is considered to be an anthropocentric paradigm in which language is 
studied in conjunction with other disciplines and the human factor plays an important role in 
linguistics. More specifically, the focus is on the human factor, which plays a role in linguistic 
research. The following branches of linguistics are being studied within the framework of this 
universally recognized scientific model: 
cognitive linguistics (language and cognition), 
linguoculturology (language and culture), 
sociolinguistics (language and society), 
psycholinguistics (language and psychology), 
theolinguistics (language and religion) and others. It should be noted that although the 
relationship between language and culture has been studied in many linguistic studies, they are 
still in need of constant research, and new correlations, linguoculturalities, or peculiarities may 
emerge, revealed. Proverbs, in particular anthropocentric proverbs, are important linguistic 
units that embody the cultural and national characteristics of the people to which they belong, 
despite a number of monographs devoted to the subject under consideration. Therefore, in this 
proposal, the problem is considered from an anthropocentric perspective, in order to reveal 
their linguocultural aspects at a higher level. 
Research questions: 
What is the significance of anthropocentric proverbs in society? 
What are the similar features of English and Uzbek anthroposentric proverbs in situational 
speech? 
What are the distinctive features of English and Uzbek anthroposentric proverbs in situational 
speech? 
When do we use the proverbs for more expressive meaning?
