PROBLEMS OF INTERLINGUAL EQUIVALENCE AND SEMANTIC ASYMMETRY OF LIVESTOCK TERMS IN THE UZBEK AND ENGLISH LANGUAGES

Abstract

This article investigates the problems of interlingual equivalence and semantic asymmetry of livestock terms in the Uzbek and English languages. Livestock terminology represents a significant lexical layer connected with agricultural production, animal breeding, veterinary practice, rural culture and professional communication. Although Uzbek and English possess a rich system of livestock-related lexical units, their terminological structures do not always coincide. Some terms demonstrate full equivalence, while others reveal partial, contextual or descriptive correspondence
