Abstract

This thesis is dedicated to analyzing the emotional functions of Uzbek political metaphors from the perspective of cognitive linguistics. The study theoretically elucidates how metaphor evokes feelings of fear, hope, anger, unity, and pride in the audience through psychological processes such as conceptual transfer mechanisms, limbic activation, and somatic markers. Furthermore, the specific characteristics of the emotional impact of national-cultural metaphors inherent in Uzbek political speech are analyzed.
