LEXICOGRAPHIC FOUNDATIONS OF UZBEK AND ENGLISH ART HISTORY TERMINOLOGY (BASED ON CORPUS ANALYSIS)
Abstract
This article examines the challenges and strategies of standardizing art history terminology in English-Uzbek bilingual dictionaries. As art terms are rooted in complex cultural, historical, and disciplinary contexts, accurate and consistent translation into Uzbek requires both linguistic precision and cultural sensitivity. The paper focuses on the issues of equivalence, lexical gaps, semantic shifts, and the influence of Western-centric categorization in bilingual lexicographic practice. The study also highlights the importance of corpus analysis, expert consultation, and the integration of multilingual terminological databases to enhance the quality of dictionary entries.
Keywords
