EXPLORING PSYCHOLINGUISTIC ASPECTS OF HOMONYMS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN UZBEK AND ENGLISH
Keywords:
homonyms, psycholinguistics, ambiguity, cognition, linguistics, comparative study.Abstract
Homonyms, words sharing the same form but differing in meaning, present intriguing cognitive challenges. This study investigates the psycholinguistic characteristics of homonyms in Uzbek and English languages. Employing a comparative analysis, this research explores the semantic and phonological dimensions of homonyms in both languages, shedding light on their cognitive processing mechanisms.
