SEMANTIC FEATURES OF TONGUE TWISTERS FORMED ON THE SNOW LEXICON IN UZBEK AND ENGLISH LANGUAGES

Abstract

This article investigates the semantic properties of tongue twisters constructed using the snow lexicon in Uzbek and English languages. Through a comparative linguistic analysis, it explores lexical-semantic fields, phonetic symbolism, cultural connotations, and structural patterns formed by snow-related vocabulary. The study reveals both cross-linguistic similarities—such as reliance on alliteration, onomatopoeia, and sound symbolism—and language-specific features rooted in climate, worldview, and folklore traditions. The findings demonstrate how snow lexemes enrich tongue twisters in terms of imagery, acoustic effect, and cognitive associations.
