This article presents a comprehensive lexical-semantic study of metonymy in English and Uzbek, exploring how this figure of speech functions as a vital cognitive and linguistic mechanism in both languages. Metonymy, unlike metaphor, involves the substitution of one concept for another based on a real-world relationship, such as cause-effect, part-whole, or container-contained. By comparing a variety of authentic linguistic data from literary texts, idiomatic expressions, and spoken language samples in English and Uzbek, this study identifies key patterns of metonymic usage and semantic shifts.
