This article investigates how auxiliary verbs within the Uzbek analytic aspectual construction "V+(i)b yura turmoq" can form a complex conceptual metaphor that transcends the meanings of individual components. Focusing on the interaction of the auxiliary verbs yur- and tur-, the study analyzes how this construction encodes subtle meanings related to the expressed action, state, and the speaker's attitude towards reality, reflecting the profound influence of embodied cognition and conceptual integration. The research demonstrates that the Uzbek language utilizes multi-layered metaphorical mappings to create a rich conceptual worldview.
