LEXICOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF PHYTONYMS IN EXPLANATORY DICTIONARIES OF THE UZBEK LANGUAGE
Abstract
This article examines the issues of lexicographic interpretation of phytonyms (plant names) in explanatory dictionaries of the Uzbek language. The paper analyzes the lexical meanings of plant names, the methods of their linguistic expression, and the specific characteristics of definitions provided in dictionary entries. Furthermore, the relationship between botanical classification and linguistic interpretation of phytonyms, as well as their etymological and semantic layers, are explored. The findings of the research serve to provide recommendations for a more accurate description of plant names in lexicographic practice.
