CHAPTER II LEXICAL-SEMANTIC ANALYSIS OF UZBEK AND 
ENGLISH LEGAL TEXTS INCLUDING ACTIONS STRATEGY OF 
STATE DEVELOPMENT 
 2.1. Lexical-semantic features of legal texts in English 
Lexical semantics (also called lexicosemantics) is the study of word 
meanings as a subfield of linguistic semantics. It includes the study of 
the meaning structure of words, how they function in grammar and 
composition, and the relationship between specific word meanings and 
uses. 
In lexical semantics, units of analysis are lexical units, which contain not 
only words, but also smaller units such as additional words or compound 
words and phrases. Lexical units include the catalog of words in the 
language, the lexicon. Lexical semantics examines how the meaning of 
lexical items relates to the structure of language or syntax. This is called 
the syntax-semantics interface. 
The study of lexical semantics examines: 
• classification and decomposition of lexical compounds 
• Differences and similarities in lexical semantic structure between languages 
• relation of lexical meaning to sentence meaning and syntax. 
Lexical units, also called syntactic atoms, can stand on their own, such as root 
words or parts of compound words, or they can be linked to other units, such as 
prefixes and suffixes. The first is called free morphemes, and the second is called 
bound morphemes[Di Sciullo, Anne-Marie; Williams, Edwin (1987). On the 
definition of word. Cambridge, MA: MIT press.].
They belong to a narrow range of meaning (semantic fields) and can be combined 
with each other to form new denotations. Cognitive semantics is a linguistic 
paradigm/framework that has received most research on lexical semantics since the 


28 
1980s, introducing innovations such as prototype theory, conceptual metaphors, 
and frame semantics.
