Antonym Relations of Names of Headgear in English And Uzbek
Abstract
This article explores antonymic relations among the lexical units that denote headgear in English and Uzbek. While names of clothing items, including headgear, typically lack direct binary oppositions, certain indirect or contextually conditioned antonymic relations can be identified. The study investigates how such oppositions manifest in both languages and how cultural, functional, and stylistic aspects influence antonymy within this lexical field.
