LEXICAL GRADUONYMY OF COLOR TERMS IN UZBEK, ENGLISH, AND RUSSIAN
Abstract
Graduonymy, understood as the expression of varying degrees of a particular quality, plays a significant role in structuring color perception and its linguistic representation. The research focuses on the gradational properties of basic color lexemes such as white, black, and red, analyzing their synonymic series, degree forms, and contextual usage. Special attention is given to the morphological, lexical, and phraseological means of expressing gradation in each language
