Features of the lexical system of the Lak language

the article analyzes the features of the lexical system of the Lak language. It is noted that homonyms, synonyms and antonyms are widely represented in the lexical system of this language. But their scientific research remains out of the field of view of researchers for now. Homonyms arose as a result of the accumulation of lexical units of the same sound or form, but of different origin. All known types of relative homonymy are represented in the Lak language. Synonyms are words that refer to the same subject, but differ in semantic, grammatical, or stylistic characteristics. A synonymous row can consist of two (minimum) or more words. A characteristic feature of antonyms is that they usually assume each other and thus reflect the unity of opposites. Antonymic pairs are used together as a whole – a complex word with its own independent lexical meaning that has no semantic connection with the meaning of each component separately. This method of forming new words can be considered one of the productive ways of word formation in the Lak language.
