This article investigates the syntactic-semantic and cognitive characteristics of sentences containing bivalent homogeneous nuclear predicate 1 (HNP1) components, based on English and Uzbek language materials. The aim is to identify the features of syntaxeme expression by HNP1 components and analyze their conceptual foundations. The problem lies in the lack of a unified approach to analyzing the deep and surface structure of sentences and the need to determine the cognitive basis of syntaxemes. The study employs syntaxeme analysis, transformational grammar, conceptual integration, and metaphorical approaches as its methodology. Sentences are dissected into syntaxemes, revealing substantive, agentive, negative, objective, qualitative, and identificational syntaxemes expressed by HNP1 components. The results highlight isomorphic and allomorphic features of HNP1 in both languages: Uzbek emphasizes emotional and metaphorical conceptualization, while English focuses on static states and individual actions. In conclusion, the research enhances understanding of the interplay between linguistics and cognitive sciences, paving the way for broader multilingual analyses.
