3.3.
 
Difference and similarities of conceptual metaphors with the 
elements of mentality in the English and Uzbek languages 
We have analyzed several metaphors with mentality elements in English 
and Uzbek. While certain conceptual metaphors have the same equivalents in the 
other language, most of them cannot have their metaphor counterparts. Now, we 
are going to present them in a classified form in terms of certain themes. If there is 
an equivalent in the other language, we will present it, otherwise we will leave a 
blank space.

She’s 
kicked the bucket
- 
The wooden frame that 
was used to hang animals 
up by their feet for 
slaughter was called a 
bucket. Not unnaturally 
they 
were 
likely 
to 
struggle or to spasm after 
death and hence 'kick the 
bucket'.
