GRADUONOMY IN THE GRAMMATICAL AND SEMANTIC CATEGORIES OF THE VERB IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

This article explores the phenomenon of graduonomy within the grammatical and semantic categories of verbs in the English and Uzbek languages. Graduonomy, as a subtype of semantic gradation, reflects the hierarchy and intensity of meanings expressed through verbal forms. The research aims to identify how different levels of meaning, modality, and intensity are encoded in verb categories such as tense, aspect, voice, and mood. The comparative analysis draws attention to cross-linguistic similarities and discrepancies that emerge in representing verbal gradation. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of typological distinctions and help refine language teaching and translation strategies
