Abstract
This article examines the contextual modulation of lexico-semantic features in English and Uzbek legal discourse, focusing on how legal terms shift in meaning across judicial, legislative, and doctrinal contexts. Through comparative structural and semantic analysis, the study identifies patterns of polysemy, terminological variation, and pragmatic reinterpretation. The findings reveal cross-linguistic asymmetries in semantic scope and functional load, highlighting implications for legal translation, harmonization, and bilingual drafting practices.
