The present thesis explores riddles as a genre of folklore from linguistic, cultural and cognitive perspectives in English and Uzbek traditions. Riddles are examined as multifunctional units of metaphorical expression, structural economy and cultural symbolism. The typological features, thematic classification and reflection of the linguistic picture of the world in the study are considered. Particular attention is paid to the semantic space of riddles, their metaphorical encoding and their function in communication, education and cognitive development. The research reveals that riddles are not only a source of entertainment but also crucial tools for the preservation of cultural knowledge and the formation of national identity.
