Semantic Typology and Lexicography of English and Uzbek Speech Verbs

The book contains the results of a comparative semantical study of speech verbs in the English and Uzbek languages. Semantic categorization, positive and negative connotations, the polysemantic nature as well as phonostylistic peculiarities of the English and Uzbek speech verbs can be observed within the framework of the target research. The book also looks at the representation of speech activity by means of phraseological units and refers to the factor of culture as the principal reason for cross-linguistic differences in these terms. Another insight of the research is explaining the ways of creating a dictionary microstructure for speech verbs in active and passive bilingual dictionaries.
