Abstract
The article examines the conceptual and axiological representation of moral values in the phraseological worldview of English and Uzbek. The study focuses on phraseological units, idioms, and proverbs that verbalize such moral concepts as honesty, conscience, honour, dignity, kindness, loyalty, shame, and social reputation. The research demonstrates that moral values in both languages function as culturally marked evaluative categories. While English phraseology tends to emphasize individual responsibility, personal integrity, inner conscience, and social reliability, Uzbek phraseology more strongly reflects collective evaluation, family honour, moral purity, social respect, and the concept of or-nomus. The comparative analysis reveals both universal and culture-specific features in the linguistic representation of moral values.
