This article examines the lexicographical interpretation and nominative functions of zoonyms containing adjective components in English and Uzbek. Adjectives serve as primary differential markers in animal naming, specifying morphological features, size, body structure, and biological status. Through a comparative analysis of various species (mammals, reptiles, and invertebrates), the research explores naming models and highlights how qualities like “slender”, “large”, “flat”, “common” function systematically to distinguish species. The study concludes that adjective-component zoonyms provide a logical, descriptive, and scientifically grounded framework for zoological nomenclature in both languages.
Ushbu maqolada ingliz va o‘zbek tillaridagi sifat komponentli zoonimlarning leksikografik talqini va nominativ vazifalari tahlil qilinadi. Sifatlar hayvonlarni nomlash jarayonida asosiy differensial belgi bo‘lib xizmat qiladi hamda turning morfologik xususiyatlari, hajmi, tana tuzilishi va biologik maqomini aniqlashtiradi. Turli hayvon guruhlari (sutemizuvchilar, sudralib yuruvchilar, umurtqasizlar) misolida “ingichka”, “katta”, “yassi”, “oddiy” kabi sifatlarning turlarni bir-biridan ajratishdagi tizimli o‘rni qiyosiy o‘rganilgan. Tadqiqot natijalari sifat komponentli zoonimlar har ikki tilda nominatsiyaning mantiqiy, tasviriy va ilmiy asoslanganligini ta’minlashini ko‘rsatadi.
