FREQUENCY OF USE OF THE CONCEPT “WEALTH” IN UZBEK AND RUSSIAN LANGUAGE CORPORA AND ITS COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

Abstract

This article presents a comparative analysis of the frequency of lexical units verbalizing the concept of “wealth” in Uzbek and Russian corpora. The study focuses on Uzbek units such as “boylik”, “boy”, “badavlat”, “davlat”, “mulk”, and “mol-dunyo”, as well as Russian units such as “богатство”, “богатый”, “состояние”, “достаток”, and “имущество”. Particular attention is paid to frequency, contextual variation, genre distribution, and collocational patterns. A corpus-based approach makes it possible to examine lexical units not in isolation but in their actual textual environment. The Uzbek corpus provides search functions based on lemmas, word forms, phrases, and concordances, while the Russian National Corpus provides tools for frequency and collocation analysis. The comparative analysis demonstrates that the concept of “wealth” is verbalized in both languages through a broad range of lexical and contextual units associated with money, property, income, capital, prosperity, social status, and natural resources.
