The Lexical And Grammmatical Description Of Binomial Adjectival Expressions In English And Uzbek
Abstract
This paper examines the lexical and grammatical characteristics of binomial adjectival expressions in English and Uzbek, focusing on their structural patterns, semantic relations, and typological similarities and differences. Binomial constructions, which consist of two coordinated adjectival components, represent a productive and expressive type of phraseological formation that reflects both linguistic and cultural dimensions of each language. The study aims to identify the morphological and syntactic organization of such units and to determine their role in expressing evaluative, emotional, and figurative meanings.
Keywords
