Annotation: This paper examines the typological peculiarities of idioms with ‘water’ component in Uzbek and English languages. Apart from discussing both semantic and structural features of the targeted set of idioms, the article explores the cultural and historical context of these idioms, arguing that the abundance of water-related idioms in Uzbek reflects the importance of water in Uzbek culture and history, while the prevalence of water-related idioms in English can be traced back to the maritime history of England. The paper concludes by highlighting the importance of studying idioms with ‘water’ components in order to gain a deeper understanding of the cultures and histories of the languages in which they are used.
