Abstract
The present article deals with a comparative study of the metaphorical usage in the English and Uzbek languages focusing on gender characteristics. The purpose of the research is to examine the role of gender in metaphor choice, creation, and understanding within two language systems, based on the theoretical frameworks developed in cognitive linguistics and gender studies. The research not only brings insights to cognitive linguistics, gender studies, and contrastive analysis but also reveals the intricate interaction of language, thought, gender, and culture.
