Annotation: In this article the subtypes of lexical transformation,
a concretization
and a generalization, are discussed. Their main features
are learned deeply by the
samples from the book “O'tkan kunlar” which is written by Abdullah Qadiri and its

text must be translated into target language without any mistakes. If there appears any
problem during the translation, then the lexical transformations come to help to the
translator. According to Z. Proshina, “lexical transformations
