Abstract

This article explores the lexicographic representation of behavioral verbs in the Uzbek language that are characterized by a unified semantic core. Behavioral verbs denote habitual or characteristic actions reflecting the subject's behavior and often exhibit semantic monosemy—a single, stable meaning across contexts. The study examines how Uzbek dictionaries represent these verbs, focusing on the adequacy and precision of semantic descriptions, morphological and syntactic information, and phrasal usage. Drawing on Uzbek linguistic scholarship and corpus data, the article highlights challenges and best practices in capturing behavioral verbs' semantic core in lexicographic works.
