In the context of modern linguistic theory, this article explores motivation and valency as important mechanisms in the growth of the semantic field of behaviour. According to the study, semantic relationships, contextual usage, and combinatory potential all contribute to the dynamic development of behavioural vocabulary. The study uses contextual examples and qualitative semantic analysis to show how lexical units broaden their meanings. Syntagmatic variety, metaphorical extension, and derivational motivation are given particular consideration. The results show that the semantic field of conduct experiences enhanced polysemy, structural complexity, and semantic enrichment as a result of the relationship between motivation and valency.
