CRIMINAL TERMINOLOGY IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

Аннотация

The article discusses the terminological layer of English and Uzbek languages in terms of “Crime” semantics. The author highlights distinctive features of legal terms and scrutinizes the reasons for lexical gaps that occurred in languages. The semantical relations between terms are analyzed and compared according to the principles of structural linguistics. It is important to determine the relationship between law and language in the establishment of a democratic legal state of any country. The fact that law is applied to every sphere of life and that no person is outside the scope of law further strengthens this idea. KEYWORDS Term, terminology, law, legal, synonymic, graduonimic, equivalent, lexical gap, semantic component, system.
