Abstract

Verbs are an essential component of any language, as they convey actions, processes, and states. Among them, behavioral verbs represent actions and states associated with human and animal behavior, such as breathe, smile, sleep, and cry. While behavioral verbs exist in all languages, their semantic and syntactic properties vary across linguistic systems. This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of behavioral verbs in English and Uzbek based on corpus linguistics. By examining their frequency, semantic classifications, syntactic structures, and collocational patterns, we aim to identify similarities and differences in their usage. The study utilizes corpus-based methods, analyzing large textual databases in both languages to extract meaningful linguistic patterns. Our findings indicate that while both languages share a common set of behavioral verbs, they differ in terms of transitivity, aspectual markers, and metaphorical extensions.
