The study analyses lexico-semantic fields (LSF) in language, focusing on their structural and semantic characteristics. The author identifies LSPs as an indispensable tool for language analysis, emphasising their role in systematising and linking words based on semantic meaning. Special attention is paid to the central word and periphery in LSPs and semantic relations such as synonymy, antonymy, and hyperonymy/hyponymy. Different types of LSPs are examined with examples such as Family, Transport, and Work. It is emphasised that LSPs play an essential role in linguistics and find wide applications in fields such as machine translation, semantic linguistics, language learning, natural language processing technologies and semantic search engines. The study's novelty is evident in its ability to propose new theoretical approaches to analysing lexical-semantic fields and their relevant applications in modern technology and linguistic research. The study is that LSPs represent a universal and indispensable element for understanding the organisation of language and developing current language patterns.
