This study explores the intersection of language, culture, and gender by analyzing
phraseological units in English and Uzbek, specifically focusing on how these linguistic elements reflect and shape gender norms. Phraseological units, such as idioms, proverbs, and sayings, offer insight into societal perceptions of gender roles, expectations, and
stereotypes.
