Abstract

This article explores the phenomena of synonymy and antonymy in the proverbs of the Khorezm dialects of the Uzbek language. The study aims to identify how semantic relations are realized in paremiological units and to determine their functional and stylistic roles. Using semantic and contextual analysis, the research examines synonymous and antonymous proverbs and reveals their contribution to expressing evaluative meanings and figurative thinking. The findings demonstrate that synonymy enriches the variability of expression, while antonymy intensifies contrast and enhances the didactic impact of proverbs. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of the semantic structure of proverbs and their significance within Uzbek paremiology and dialectal linguistics.
