Keywords:

Synonyms and antonyms are key elements of vocabulary that play a crucial role in language comprehension and expression [1, 2, 3]. Syntactic analysis of these lexical relations helps to understand how words function in different grammatical contexts, sentence structures, and word order [2, 4, 5]. This study examines synonyms and antonyms in English and Uzbek, highlighting similarities and differences in their syntactic behavior across the two languages [1, 3, 6]. The research shows that context, grammatical roles, and sentence position significantly influence the usage of synonymous and antonymous words [2, 4, 7]. The findings are valuable for comparative linguistics, translation studies, and language teaching, providing practical insights into the effective use of synonyms and antonyms in communication [5, 6, 8].
