Lexico-Semantic Groups of Pottery Terms

Abstract

This article expresses an opinion on the conditions for the emergence of pottery and the production processes of pottery, as well as a classification of pottery terms used in the works of Alisher Navoi. Based on the collected materials, pottery terms were divided into 22 lexical-semantic groups. Besides studying the semantic features of pottery terms, which is an important branch of folk craft, the study of their dictionary meanings is considered very relevant today.
