Abstract

This article analyzes the issues of functional interpretation of non-equivalent lexical units in bilingual learner dictionaries. The study examines the methods of representing non-equivalent units, the mechanisms for revealing their semantic structure, and the challenges of translation, based on materials from Uzbek and English. The findings indicate that non-equivalent lexicon can be effectively conveyed through explanatory, descriptive, and contextual approaches.
