STRUCTURAL-SEMANTIC ANALYSIS OF SOCIAL PROTECTION TERMS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES AND MODERN LINGUISTIC APPROACHES TO THEIR STUDY

Abstract. The article examines the structural and semantic features of social protection terminology in English and Uzbek languages, emphasizing their role in reflecting socio-economic realities and cultural perspectives. Through comparative and corpus-based linguistic methods, the study identifies common patterns and differences in the formation, meaning, and functional use of social protection terms. The research also evaluates how modern linguistic theories—particularly cognitive and functional approaches—contribute to the study and standardization of terminology in the field of social policy and welfare.
