Lecture 12. Typology of Phrases / word Combinations

Key points for discussion: Definitions of word combinations/phrases in compared languages Structure and classification of word combinations of English, Russian and Uzbek languages. Criteria of connection of words in word combinations.

The definition given by the scholar Ilyish to the phrase (“every combination of two or more words which is a grammatical unit but is not an analytical form of some word”) leaves no doubt as to its equivalence to the term “word combination”.

The word combination, along with the sentence, is the main syntactic unit. The smallest word combination consists of two members, whereas the largest word combination may theoretically be indefinitely large though this issue has not yet been studied properly. In Russian, it is described as non-communicative units served for theconcretization of object naming, actions, features and etc. In Uzbek it is defined as awider conception than a word, expressing description of object and action and even identifying the object of theaction. Distinctively, as a substitution of word expressed with word combinations is called descriptive expressions (тасвирийифода) in Uzbek. Descriptive expressions are used for clarification of word meaning, making the text more literary, and avoiding repetition. They basically exist in nouns. E.g., пахта – оқ олтин (cotton – white gold), нефть – қора олтин (oil – black gold), маккажўхори – дала маликаси (corn – queen of field).
