| Open Access | STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF THE SEMANTIC FIELD OF BEHAVIORAL VERBS
Alimuxamedova Xabiba Rustamovna , Department of Foreign languages Tashkent University of Information TechnologiesAbstract
This article offers a detailed examination of how behavioral verbs in English form a unified semantic field. It explores the relationships that connect these verbs, the layers of meaning they carry, and the cultural factors that shape their interpretation. By analyzing different subgroups of behavioral verbs, the study provides insight into the linguistic representation of human conduct and the semantic mechanisms that structure this part of the English vocabulary.
