Abstract

This study examines the expression and usage of homonyms in Uzbek and Arabic languages, highlighting the linguistic phenomenon where words share the same form but carry different meanings. In both languages, homonyms play a significant role in enriching vocabulary, creating humor, and facilitating poetic expression. The types of homonyms are classified as lexical (including lexical and phraseological) and grammatical. Uzbek homonyms emerge through linguistic evolution, borrowing, and dialectical variations, while Arabic homonyms, known as compound words, are debated for their literal versus metaphorical meanings. Notable examples from each language illustrate the depth and variety of homonyms, emphasizing their function in literature, art, and communication. The study also distinguishes homonyms from polysemantic words, highlighting their structural and semantic independence.
