POLYSEMY OF THE COMPOUND MELIORATIVE TERMS IN TERMINOLOGY OF ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

Abstract

ABSTACT

This article discusses the issues of ambiguity of terms, because in linguistics polysemy is given an important place, because this issue also covers the nature of naming. Polysemy is said to have several meanings. The facts of the use of terms in the field of reclamation prove the existence of polysemy in terminology. The article concludes that polysemy of terms occurs mainly as a result of the combination of two objects and events, the transfer of one meaning to another (metonymy), the definition of their whole and part relations (synecdoche).

Key words: polysemy, thinking, lexical unit, structure, sign, metaphor, metonymy, word form, term.
