Аннотация

This article examines the lexical-semantic analysis of monosemantic and polysemantic Arabic loanwords in Alisher Navoi's work Nasoyimu-l muhabbat. The study highlights Navoi's exceptional mastery in utilizing the semantic nuances and expressive potential of Arabic loanwords, particularly in the context of Sufism. The analysis focuses on key terms such as ilm (knowledge), iltiyom (connection/healing), iltifot (favor/attention), and imon (faith), demonstrating their polysemantic nature and stylistic functions within the text. The article also identifies monosemantic loanwords, such as iloho (O Lord) and ilhom (inspiration), which retain a single meaning. Navoi's ability to use both types of loanwords underscores his linguistic prowess, with approximately 55–60% of the lexicon in Nasoyimu-l muhabbat consisting of Arabic loanwords. The study categorizes these terms based on their semantic roles, including place names, titles, and religious concepts, and explores their synonymous relationships. The findings confirm Navoi's status not only as a literary figure but also as a profound linguist whose work reveals the richness and versatility of the Uzbek language.
