REDUNDANCY AS AN OPPOSITION OF LEXICAL ECONOMY

Abstract

This article examines redundancy and lexical economy as two oppositional yet complementary linguistic mechanisms. Redundancy is analyzed as a functional means of emphasizing meaning, enhancing expressiveness, and ensuring informational stability, while lexical economy is considered as a principle of minimizing linguistic resources and maintaining brevity in communication. The research utilizes descriptive, comparative, and contextual methods to investigate the manifestation of redundancy in English and Uzbek languages. The results demonstrate that redundancy and lexical economy operate as interdependent components of language development, contributing jointly to communicative efficiency and semantic clarity.
