Abstract

Phraselogical unitiesare an integral part of culture and language and a crucial factor that determines certain cultural characteristics. On the basis of the phraseological unities characterizing intellectual nature of humans have been analyzed the concepts of “intelligence” and “stupidity” and detected what kind of perceptual sensations underlie the creation of their images. The author concludes that the presence of so many proverbs, idioms, and phrases related to the above listed concepts in the Uzbek language shows that they are basic concepts and culturally specific in the Uzbek language conscious. The results obtained contribute to the development of theoretical and practical perspective for explaining linguoculturalogical aspect of linguistic unities.
