Etymological characteristics of geographical and topographic phraseological units in the Russian and Uzbek languages

this article is devoted to the etymological analysis of geographical and topographic phraseological units in the Russian and Uzbek languages. The purpose of the study is to establish the origin and conduct a comparative analysis of these phraseological units in the languages under consideration. Toponymy, as a set of geographical names, is a valuable source of historical, geographical and linguistic information. Each geographical object receives a name endowed with a certain meaning. However, over time, the original meaning of many toponyms is devalued, which complicates their interpretation by modern native speakers. Geographical names, or toponyms, are the subject of this study. Within the framework of this work, an analysis of geographical and topographic phraseological units in the Russian and Uzbek languages is carried out. The obtained results indicate significant differences in the phonetic design and semantic structure of geographical and topographic phraseological units in the Russian and Uzbek languages, however, at the same time, the presence of individual phraseological units with semantic proximity is noted.
