Abstract
This article highly discusses the metaphors and conceptual metaphors of the concept of "time" in English and Uzbek languages. Indeed, the concept of "time" has so far been studied by many scholars and different views have been suggested on the conceptual metaphors of "time". When it comes to Uzbek language this concept has been widely studied in terms of literature and philosophy, but it still lacks linguistic research. Therefore, this paper aims to study this concept from the perspective of linguistics comparing the metaphors of "time" in English and Uzbek. Prior to the comparison of the metaphors in two languages, the author initially provided the various definitions of the lexeme "metaphor" and "conceptual metaphor" as well as the examples. All in all, it stands out that both languages have their own peculiarities since they belong to different language families.
