INTEGRAL AND DIFFERENTIAL SEMANTIC COMPONENTS OF CLOTHING NAMES IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK

This article examines clothing names in English and Uzbek using the methodology of semantic and componential analysis. From a comparative-contrastive perspective, it describes the integral components (general semes that shape a homogeneous lexical-semantic group) and the differential components (distinguishing semes that mark a garment's type, material, gender affiliation, and function) in the semantics of linguistic units. The study reveals the semantic structure and the national-cultural features of clothing vocabulary in both languages.
