Abstract

This article examines the theoretical foundations of the field concept in linguistics and the stages of its development. It highlights the evolution of linguistic field theory in both world and Uzbek linguistics and analyzes the structural, semantic, and functional features of lexical-semantic and functional-semantic fields. The necessity of a comparative analysis of linguistic units expressing the semantics of “milk” in English and Uzbek is substantiated. The structure of the field, including its core, dominant, and periphery, as well as its vertical and horizontal organization, is described from a scientific perspective.
