POLYSEMY IN TOURISM-RELATED TERMINOLOGY IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

Аннотация

This article explores the phenomenon of polysemy within tourism-related terminology in both English and Uzbek languages. Polysemy, the coexistence of multiple meanings within a single term, plays a significant role in the development and understanding of specialized vocabulary in the field of tourism. Through a comparative linguistic analysis, the study identifies common polysemous terms, examines their semantic variations, and highlights the implications for translation and communication between English and Uzbek speakers. The findings contribute to improving terminology management and enhancing cross-cultural understanding in tourism discourse.
