SEMANTIC ANALYSIS OF COLLOCATIONS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES
Abstract
This thesis presents a semantic analysis of collocations in English and Uzbek languages, examining the structural and meaning-based characteristics that distinguish collocation formation in these typologically distinct language systems. Collocations, defined as lexically restricted word combinations with partial semantic transparency, exhibit significant cross-linguistic variation in their compositional patterns, metaphorical extensions, and semantic constraints.
