Contractions in The Uzbek Language and The History of Their Study

2026-03-19T01:18:42+00:00

This article examines contractions in the Uzbek language and the historical development of their study in linguistic research. Contractions are considered an important linguistic phenomenon that reflects phonetic, morphological, and syntactic processes occurring in the development of a language. The study analyzes how contractions arise through the interaction of linguistic units, resulting in phonetic reduction, fusion of grammatical elements, and the simplification of frequently used constructions. The research also reviews the historical stages of studying grammatical categories in Turkic and Uzbek linguistics. Particular attention is paid to the contributions of early sources and scholars such as Mahmud Kashgari, Mahmud az-Zamaxshariy, Alisher Navoiy, Mirzo Mehdixon, and later linguists who investigated grammatical structures of the Uzbek language. The article highlights the evolution of the study of grammatical categories, particularly case forms, and the development of Uzbek grammar in the twentieth century. The results demonstrate that contractions play a significant role in understanding language change, the interaction between spoken and written forms, and the historical development of Uzbek within the broader framework of Turkic linguistics.

Digital Scientific Communication in Social Networks: Language Functioning and The Internal Structure of Terminology in Networked Public Discourse

2026-03-08T13:04:12+00:00

Digital platforms have reconfigured how scientific meanings circulate, how expertise is performed, and how terms acquire legitimacy in public space. This article examines digital scientific communication in social networks by integrating (a) internet linguistics perspectives on platform-shaped language change, (b) discourse-analytical accounts of power, polarization, and alignment, and (c) terminology theory focused on the internal structure and semantic constituents of terms. Building on scholarship in sociolinguistics, online discourse studies, and terminology studies, the study conceptualizes social networks as hybrid arenas where scientific discourse competes with political, moral, and affective discourses, producing intensified struggles over naming, definition, and categorization (Crystal, 2021; McCulloch, 2020; Van Dijk, 2017). Methodologically, the paper proposes a qualitative, theory-driven framework for analyzing how (i) platform affordances and comment-based interaction shape scientific expression, (ii) alignment/opposition markers and “power of discourse” dynamics influence term uptake, and (iii) contested terminology—especially in technologically mediated discussions—becomes a site of metalinguistic critique. Results are presented as an integrated set of analytical findings: networked scientific talk displays recurring patterns of definitional negotiation, semantic compression, and hybridization with everyday registers; terminological “internal form” is frequently reconstructed through paraphrase, analogy, and evaluative labeling; and discursive polarization amplifies definitional conflict, which can also invite corrective “constructive critique” and community-level meaning repair (Antonyuk & Hoza, 2023; Aubanelle, 2023; Rehak, 2023). The discussion argues that digital scientific communication should be treated not merely as dissemination but as a continuous process of social meaning-making under conditions of visibility, contestation, and uneven expertise. Implications are offered for terminology description, science communication practice, and the study of online discourse as a sociolinguistic phenomenon.

Linguocultural Interpretation of Evaluative Adjectives in Advertising Texts: The Case of German And Uzbek Languages

2026-03-17T02:41:41+00:00

This article examines the linguocultural interpretation of evaluative adjectives in advertising texts on the material of the German and Uzbek languages. The study proceeds from the assumption that advertising discourse is not only a means of commercial persuasion, but also a space in which culturally marked values, consumer ideals, and models of social desirability are verbalized. In such discourse, evaluative adjectives perform a particularly important role because they compress judgment, emotion, and persuasion into compact lexical units that are easily recognized and remembered by the recipient. The purpose of the article is to identify the semantic, pragmatic, and linguocultural features of evaluative adjectives in German- and Uzbek-language advertising texts and to explain how these adjectives reflect national-cultural preferences in the representation of product quality, trust, beauty, comfort, prestige, and usefulness. The article argues that evaluative adjectives in both languages function as markers of positive axiological framing, but their distribution and preferred semantic zones reveal different cultural emphases. In German advertising, evaluative adjectives tend to foreground precision, quality, durability, practicality, and efficiency, whereas in Uzbek advertising they more often activate associations with sincerity, trust, family value, comfort, beauty, and emotional proximity. The findings demonstrate that the same persuasive objective may be realized through different adjectival choices because advertising adapts itself to culturally shared expectations. The article concludes that evaluative adjectives in advertising texts should be interpreted not only as lexical means of praise, but also as linguocultural signals that encode collective value orientations and communicative norms.

Sociocognitive Features of Subjectivity in English Academic Discourse

2026-03-21T03:34:11+00:00

The article investigates the sociocognitive dimensions of subjectivity in English academic discourse, exploring how cognitive schemas, social positioning, and epistemic authority intersect in the construction of authorial identity and knowledge claims. An integrative theoretical model combining sociocognitive linguistics, critical discourse analysis, and appraisal theory is proposed to account for the dynamic interplay between individual cognition and social context in academic subjectivity. The study demonstrates that subjective positioning in academic texts is neither a purely individual cognitive phenomenon nor a straightforward social process but emerges from the complex interaction between internalized disciplinary schemas and the institutional frameworks of scientific communication.

Pragmatics of Mixed Metaphors in Uzbek And English Languages

2026-03-19T02:30:15+00:00

This article examines the pragmatic functions of mixed metaphors in Uzbek and English languages within the framework of cognitive linguistics and discourse analysis. Mixed metaphors arise when different metaphorical images or conceptual domains are combined within a single linguistic expression. Although traditionally regarded as stylistic inconsistencies, modern linguistic research demonstrates that such constructions may perform important communicative functions. The aim of the study is to analyze the pragmatic roles of mixed metaphors in literary and public discourse in Uzbek and English languages. The research applies comparative analysis, semantic analysis, and discourse-based approaches. The results show that mixed metaphors function as tools for linguistic creativity, emotional intensification, evaluative expression, and communicative efficiency. English mixed metaphors frequently emerge from idiom blending, whereas Uzbek mixed metaphors are more common in literary narrative and figurative discourse. The findings contribute to the broader understanding of metaphor pragmatics in cross-linguistic research.

Lexical and Phraseological Means of Conceptual Expression in The Uzbek Language

2026-03-17T10:14:52+00:00

This article examines the role of lexical and phraseological means in the expression of concepts in the Uzbek language. In contemporary linguistics, the concept is understood as a complex cognitive and cultural unit that reflects the interaction of language, thought, and national worldview. The relevance of the study is determined by the growing interest in cognitive linguistics, linguoculturology, and the semantic mechanisms through which language verbalizes culturally significant knowledge. The purpose of the article is to identify the specific functions of lexical and phraseological units in representing concepts in Uzbek and to determine their semantic, expressive, and cultural potential. The research is based on descriptive, semantic, comparative, contextual, and linguocultural methods. The analysis demonstrates that lexical units serve as primary nominative means of conceptual expression, while phraseological units deepen, intensify, evaluate, and culturally specify conceptual content. In Uzbek, concepts such as “ko‘ngil,” “or,” “vatan,” “mehnat,” “mehr,” and “sabr” are represented not only through direct lexical nomination but also through stable figurative expressions that reveal national mentality and value orientations. The findings show that conceptual expression in Uzbek is characterized by the interaction of denotative and connotative meanings, the unity of nominative and evaluative functions, and the important role of phraseological imagery in preserving collective cultural memory. The article concludes that the study of lexical and phraseological means of conceptual expression contributes to a deeper understanding of the Uzbek linguistic worldview and opens new prospects for research in semantics, phraseology, lexicography, cognitive linguistics, and language teaching methodology.

Thematic Classification of Korean Proverbs for Korean Language Education

2026-03-14T09:57:49+00:00

This paper examines the importance and cultural value of teaching proverbs in Korean language education. Currently, in the field of Korean language teaching, proverb education is primarily concentrated in intermediate and advanced courses due to the prioritization of basic communication skills and the linguistic difficulty involved. However, proverbs are more than mere linguistic expressions; they are cultural products that embody the Korean way of thinking, history, and lifestyle. This study identifies the distinctiveness of Korean culture through 100 proverbs categorized by themes such as food, clothing, shelter, animals, nature, and humanity. Based on this, the research aims to propose educational methods that enable foreign learners, particularly Uzbek-speaking learners, to gain a deeper understanding of Korean culture and develop effective communicative competence.

Lexical Activation, Enrichment, And Register-Sensitive Vocabulary Choice in Social Communication

2026-03-21T03:37:53+00:00

This article examines lexical activation and lexical enrichment as productive processes that reflect language development and its adaptation to changing social and communicative demands. The study focuses on the relationship between vocabulary expansion, the reactivation of older lexical items, and the functional differentiation of speech styles across informal and formal settings. It is argued that an educated speaker usually commands at least two distinct lexical modes: one associated with everyday domestic communication and another with socially marked or institutionally formal interaction. Drawing on lexicology, sociolinguistics, and pragmatics, the article explores how lexical choice becomes a marker of register, communicative competence, and situational appropriateness. Using a qualitative interpretive method and theoretical synthesis, the study demonstrates that lexical stratification is not merely a stylistic phenomenon but a socially conditioned and pragmatically motivated aspect of language use. The findings show that lexical dynamism enhances communicative precision, reinforces social adaptability, and increases the efficiency of interaction in both private and public discourse.
