The Functional-semantic Field of the Concept "water" (suv) in Uzbek
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The article systematises the Uzbek linguistic units that represent the concept "water" (suv) on the basis of the functional-semantic field. The etymology and semantic structure of the lexeme suv are analysed using explanatory, phraseological and etymological dictionaries. Five lexical-semantic groups, together with derivational and compound series, are identified in the near-core zone, while phraseological units and proverbs are examined at the periphery. The analysis shows that the nominative function of units weakens from the core towards the periphery, while their evaluative and expressive function grows. The national specificity of the field is shown to lie in the vocabulary of irrigated farming and in units built on the Persian root ob.
