Abstract: This article presents a paradigmatic and syntagmatic analysis of the
lexical-semantic field "mouth" in English. The study aims to examine the diverse means
of expression used to refer to this specific concept, thus providing insights into its

including dictionaries, corpora, and linguistic resources, the study identifies a
comprehensive range of lexical items related to the concept of "mouth." The analysis
focuses on both the paradigmatic and syntagmatic dimensions of these expressions,
aiming to capture their hierarchical relationships and usage patterns. The findings
reveal a rich network of expression means for the lexical-semantic field "mouth,"
showcasing the multifaceted nature of this concept in English. Moreover, the study
sheds light on the nuanced relationships among the various terms, providing a deeper
understanding of how they are selected and combined in different linguistic contexts.
Ultimately, this research contributes to the field of lexical semantics and provides
valuable insights into the study of word meaning and conceptual categorization in
English.
