Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This article examines the role of context in determining the meaning of words in English and Uzbek. It focuses on how linguistic and situational contexts influence the interpretation of lexical units, particularly words with multiple meanings. The study explores the relationship between lexical meaning and contextual meaning, highlighting similarities and differences between the two languages. Special attention is given to polysemy, homonymy, idiomatic expressions, and the influence of cultural factors on understanding words. The article demonstrates that context is an essential element in effective communication, translation, and language learning.
