LEXICAL-SEMANTIC PECULIARITIES OF IDEOGRAPHIC DICTIONARIES AND THEIR PRACTICAL USE
Keywords:
ideographic dictionary, lexical semantics, Uzbek language, semantic field, linguistic picture of the world.Abstract
Ideographic dictionaries represent a specific type of lexicographic work in which lexical units are organized according to semantic and conceptual principles rather than alphabetical order. The present article analyzes the lexical-semantic peculiarities of ideographic dictionaries, focusing on their concept-based structure, semantic classification, and representation of lexical relations. Special attention is paid to the practical application of ideographic dictionaries in linguistic research, translation studies, and language teaching, with illustrative examples from the Uzbek language. The analysis shows that ideographic dictionaries play an important role in revealing the semantic system of a language and reflecting the linguistic picture of the world.
