THE STUDY OF SOMATIC LEXICOLOGY IN UZBEK

Аннотация

This study explores the role of somatisms in the Uzbek language, focusing on the lexical and semantic characteristics of expressions related to human body parts. Somatisms are lexical units that serve as the names of body parts, functioning within a specific linguistic system. They are typically studied as nouns but are also explored through verbs that express the actions related to these body parts. The research examines how somatisms form a coherent system across languages, contributing to both macro and micro semantic fields. The study highlights the significance of somatisms in linguistic systems, especially in the context of phraseological units and proverbs, as they provide a unique window into the cultural and emotional expressions of a society. By investigating somatisms and their pragmatic, cognitive, and cultural roles, the research contributes to the broader understanding of how body-related expressions reflect human experiences and worldview across different linguistic and cultural contexts.
