THE FUNCTIONAL - SEMANTIC AND PRAGMATIC CHARACTERISTICS OF LEXICAL UNITS IN THE FIELD OF LAW IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

Abstract

The study of the functional-semantic and pragmatic characteristics of lexical units in the field of law in English and Uzbek is crucial for ensuring accurate legal translation and effective communication between legal systems. Understanding how legal terminology functions in both languages helps avoid misinterpretations that could have significant legal consequences, especially in cross-border contexts. Moreover, this research is relevant as it addresses the challenges posed by globalization, where legal terms are often borrowed and adapted, affecting the clarity and consistency of legal practices across different cultural and linguistic settings.
