COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF BINOMIAL PHRASES IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK: SEMANTIC AND STRUCTURAL ASPECTS
Keywords:
Binomial phrase, Phraseological unit, Semantic integrity, Structural stability, Reversibility and irreversibility, Cognitive and cultural implications, Phonological arrangement, Idiomatic and non-idiomatic expressions, Corpus-based analysis, Linguistic economy, Cross-linguistic features.Abstract
This article explores the semantic and structural aspects of binomial phrases in English and Uzbek through a comparative-linguistic approach. Binomial phrases, characterized by their fixed or semi-fixed word order, rhythmic balance, and semantic integrity, are analyzed to identify patterns of stability, reversibility, and meaning shifts. The study considers phonological, semantic, and frequency-based principles in binomial formation, examining their cognitive and cultural implications in both languages. Additionally, the article investigates the role of metonymic shifts, idiomaticity, and historical linguistic development in shaping binomial expressions. By leveraging corpus-based data and theoretical perspectives from phraseology and cognitive linguistics, the research provides insights into the cross-linguistic features of binomials and their role in language economy and cultural representation.
