BINOMIAL CONSTRUCTIONS IN UZBEK LINGUISTICS: CURRENT STATUS, ISSUES, AND PROSPECTS
Keywords:
Uzbek linguistics, Binomial constructions, Stable pairs, Phraseology, Terminology, Structural-semantic analysis, Corpus linguistics.Abstract
This article examines the understudied phenomenon of binomial constructions (e.g., "mother and child," "come and go") in Uzbek linguistics. It highlights the current terminological ambiguity surrounding these units (often termed "stable pairs," "compound words," etc.) and the lack of a consistent definition. A core issue explored is their disputed phraseological status, particularly for non-idiomatic but culturally significant pairs.
