SEMANTIC TRANSFORMATION OF ADJECTIVE LEXEMES AND ITS REFLECTION IN THE THESAURUS

Abstract

This article is devoted to the analysis of semantic transformations (meaning expansion and narrowing) observed in Uzbek adjective lexemes and to the application of these analytical results as a linguistic basis for constructing a thesaurus model. The study examines the processes in which adjectives deviate from their original meanings and acquire new connotative and extralinguistic sememes (for example, in the cases of the adjectives “oq” [white], “sariq” [yellow], and “xususiy” [private]).
