PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS AND IDIOMATIC EXPRESSIONS IN ECONOMIC TEXTS: BASED ON ENGLISH, KOREAN, AND KARAKALPAK LANGUAGES
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article explores the use of phraseological units and idiomatic expressions in economic texts across three languages: English, Korean, and Karakalpak. Phraseological units, including idioms, proverbs, and fixed expressions, enrich economic discourse by conveying complex ideas succinctly and colorfully. However, these expressions often pose challenges for translation and cross-cultural understanding due to linguistic and cultural differences. This study highlights common economic idioms in each language, analyzes their semantic features, and discusses the implications for translators and economists. By comparing these languages, the article reveals both universal tendencies and culture-specific traits in economic phraseology, contributing to better communication and interpretation in global economic contexts.
