METAPHORICAL SYNTAXEME ANALYSIS IN POLYSEMY
Abstract
this article investigates the role of metaphorical structures in the syntactic realization of polysemous meanings. Using the framework of syntaxeme theory and cognitive linguistics, it explores how metaphorical extensions of meaning are embedded in syntactic units. By analyzing data from English and Uzbek, the study demonstrates how conceptual metaphors are grammatically instantiated, influencing the interpretation of polysemous words. The research highlights the interplay between metaphor, syntax, and semantic variation within the cognitive framework. The extended analysis offers practical implications for translation, language teaching, and artificial intelligence language processing.
