Lexical-semantic analysis of cosmonyms, hydronyms, toponyms, and phytonym-component phraseological units in French and Azerbaijani languages

Abstract

This article presents a lexical-semantic analysis of cosmonyms, hydronyms, toponyms, and phytonym-component phraseological units in French and Azerbaijani languages. The primary objective is to investigate the semantic structure and lexical implications of these linguistic units, revealing how their meanings are constructed and how they reflect the cultural, historical, and geographical contexts of both linguistic communities. The study elucidates the intricate ways in which both nations conceptualize and articulate their relationship with the cosmos, natural environment, and cultural values through their respective lexical systems. By focusing on the interplay between lexical items and their semantic extensions within these specific categories, the analysis provides deeper insights into cross-linguistic conceptualizations
