This article provides information about the concept of integration, which is widely used in linguistics today, and the concepts of integrative methods, which are relevant in linguocognitive research. Theoretical views related to the phenomenon in Uzbek and Russian linguistics and their analysis are presented. It is explained that the concept of integrative method in linguocognitive research reflects the flexibility of the concept, the diffusion of methods is due to the nature of the language units selected for study, and the composition of the method consists of general philosophical and special methods. As an example, a one-sided analysis of the word fox, which refers to human character in a figurative sense, is given.

The study emphasizes the importance of paremiological units as carriers of cultural codes and reflections of the worldview of peoples.

The landscape of higher education (HE) is undergoing a significant transformation globally, shifting from traditional, lecture-based paradigms to learner-centered approaches that prioritize autonomy, active engagement, and critical thinking. This transition is underpinned by a growing consensus among educators that student-centered classrooms foster more effective learning environments. In Uzbekistan, this shift is particularly pronounced as the higher education system navigates a complex landscape of globalization and quality enhancement. Government initiatives, such as the introduction of the National Qualifications Framework (NQF), reflect a commitment to developing a flexible, outcome-based education system. However, the implementation of these reforms faces substantial challenges, including entrenched teacher-centered practices, insufficient digital infrastructure, and a lack of innovative assessment methods. Research indicates a critical need for educators to adapt their methodologies to cultivate independent, autonomous learners. This article aims to synthesize international research and domestic reforms in Uzbekistan, identifying barriers to the learner-centered approach and proposing strategies for effective implementation. Through a qualitative analysis of existing literature and policy frameworks, this study seeks to illuminate the multifaceted obstacles and opportunities that characterize the ongoing reform efforts in Uzbekistan’s higher education landscape.

This article explores conversational implicature as a key mechanism of implicit meaning in literary discourse and translation. It examines how indirectness, understatement, and contextual inference shape interpretation, revealing the interaction between linguistic form, cultural context, and reader perception. The study also discusses challenges of preserving pragmatic equivalence when transferring implied meanings across languages.

The article examines the lexemes “soul”, “heart“ within the framework of the linguistic worldview from a linguocultural perspective. The research focuses on their semantic scope, conceptual load, and cultural-pragmatic functions through comparative analysis. Particular attention is given to how these notions are represented in national mentality, cognitive perception, and discourse in Uzbek and English.

The article investigates the social and philosophical meanings of nature in Khurshid Davron’s poetry. Through the analysis of works such as “Qadrdon Quyosh”, “Shahardaghi Olma Daraxti”, and “Tungi Bog‘lar”, the research highlights how the poet represents nature as a reflection of human morality and social harmony. Symbols like trees, wind, sunlight, and mint serve as metaphors for conscience, purity, and renewal. Khurshid Davron’s ecological and spiritual imagery reveals his belief in the unity of man and nature as the foundation of moral balance. To interpret the harmony between nature and human as a philosophical model of social unity. Davron transforms natural imagery into a moral system, linking ecological awareness with humanistic values.

The article discusses the derivational distinction of proper nouns (onomastic units) from the appellative lexicon, their specific features, the conversion (lexical-semantic) method of word formation and formation within the appellative lexicon and the scientific interpretation of this method, onomastic conversion and its differences from the simple conversion method, the formation of toponyms in the Uzbek language by the conversion method, and the toponymization (toponymization) of appellatives based on evidence.

The article analyzes the semantic dynamics of pedagogical terms based on a linguopragmatic approach, their expansion in the sociolinguistic context, speech-functional adaptation, and discursive transformation. The phenomenon of “pedagogical language contact” is explained through the interaction of language units, semantic shifts, and connotative changes in teacher and student speech, methodological texts, and scientific-pedagogical literature. The research results show that pedagogical terms are formed in the social environment under the influence of speech practice, social needs, and cultural transformation, and this process is directly related to linguopragmatic motivation and communicative necessity. A comparative analysis of pedagogical discourse in English and Uzbek reveals the semantic symmetry, equivalence level, pragmatic adaptation, and mechanisms of adaptation to the national education system of terms. The article’s findings emphasize the necessity of approaching pedagogical terminology from the perspectives of intercultural communication, translation, and sociopragmatic integration. This approach opens the way to study pedagogical discourse not only as a system of linguistic units but also as a field of social, cognitive, and cultural activity.

The article analyzes the structural composition of Uzbek dialectal vocabulary and its usage in various dialects and literary works. Different approaches of dialectologists and the examples they provided are examined. The presented information is based on the theoretical foundations of Uzbek dialectology.

This article examines one of the key issues of modern linguistics — the study and interpretation of the phenomenon of lexical presupposition. The paper analyzes the theoretical foundations of this phenomenon, its semantic and pragmatic characteristics, and the diverse approaches adopted in both Uzbek and international linguistic research. The author explores the specific features of lexical presupposition, its dependence on context, and its influence on word meaning and speech situations. Special attention is given to the analysis of conflicting viewpoints and the challenges of defining and delimiting the concept. The study also connects lexical presupposition to current trends in semantics and pragmalinguistics, offering well-grounded theoretical insights and practical conclusions regarding its function and application in the Uzbek language.

Drawing on J. Searle’s speech act theory in the Austinian tradition, this article argues that language use is never value-neutral: locutionary content, illocutionary force, and perlocutionary effect are each saturated with cultural values, ethical commitments, and social relations. Using a conceptual-analytic approach and an illustrative English mini-corpus, we operationalize “axiological load” across these three layers of linguistic practice. We propose a coding scheme for value-laden vocabulary, the conventional commitments associated with illocutionary types (assertives, directives, commissives, expressives, declarations), and socially consequential perlocutionary outcomes. Findings show that: (i) the locutionary layer transmits values through lexical appraisal, framing, and implicature; (ii) illocutionary acts embody rules that generate obligations, rights, or moral norms; and (iii) perlocutionary effects realize or contest norms in interaction. We integrate the analyses into a three-layer model linking semantic choices to normative force and social impact, and we outline theoretical and practical implications for axiolinguistics, discourse analysis, cross-cultural pragmatics, and translation.

This article explores the artistic imagery in the short stories of Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky. It examines the role of lyricism, symbolic details, and landscape descriptions in shaping the poetic structure of narrative. In Paustovsky’s prose, imagery transcends the limits of realistic detail, functioning as an aesthetic phenomenon that conveys inner emotions, philosophical reflections, and moral attitudes of the characters. Using comparative literary approaches, the study highlights the typological connections of Paustovsky’s imagery with Eastern lyricism and Western modernist prose.

This article presents a comparative-typological analysis of synonymic series of relative adjectives in Uzbek and Russian. The study examines the formation of synonymic units, their semantic components, and their functional usage. It was found that in Uzbek and Russian, synonymic series of relative adjectives are generally based on one or two semantic components. The expansion of synonymic series and their enrichment with new semantic shades are shown to enhance the expressive potential of the language system. The findings highlight the theoretical and practical significance of studying synonymic relations of relative adjectives.

In this article, the connection between metaphor and culture is researched. The reflection of cultural values and worldviews in the metaphors of English and Uzbek languages is studied. In the social context, this article shows the differences and similarities between metaphor and culture within examples, and highlighting innovative ideas about the role of cognitive mechanisms. The results show that the metaphors in English and Uzbek languages can appear on the uniqueness of each culture, and their differences help to understand human experience. Overall, the article serves to enhance intercultural communication as well as understanding, and emphasizes the need for further research in this field in the future.

Gender differences in emotion recognition may be related to women’s greater sensitivity to subtle cues in facial expressions. The aim of this study was to analyze gender differences in the evaluation of changes in emotional intensity of happy and sad facial expressions. The results are discussed within the framework of social role theory, and their significance is analyzed in the complex social context of human interaction.

This article discusses the concept of genderology, the meaning in the modern linguistic paradigm. Issues related to the development of a methodology for the linguistic study of gender, explanations of the many concepts of the concept of "gender", studies related to the current state of gender relations are covered.It should  be noted that today there are few actual gender studies that study both sexes, or rather, the process of social construction of differences between the sexes, the gender specificity of speech, the representation of male and female language. The insertion of a gender parameter in linguistic research will definitely expand the understanding of language as a means of constructing the social world. Gender stereotypes have planes of existence, such as defining a sociological essence, which is associated with the general problem of a person's belonging to a certain gender, as well as a cognitive phenomenon, associated with mental representations and stereotyping mechanisms. Linguistics has the necessary set of methods and techniques that allow the study of the manifestation of gender in language and speech, marking the combined efforts and the formation of a new direction in linguistic science, like genderology.

This article deals with the notion of style as a vehicle for expressing national identity, with particular attention to the interplay between aesthetic forms, spiritual practices, and broader cultural contexts. The analysis situates stylistic features not only as literary or artistic choices but also as manifestations of a nation’s collective memory, values, and worldview. By focusing on the nexus of “godly practice” and cultural identity, the study highlights how religious and ethical frameworks permeate stylistic strategies in literature and art, shaping both thematic orientation and expressive means. The discussion emphasizes the dual role of style: on the one hand, as a marker of continuity with national traditions, and on the other, as an adaptive mechanism in response to modernization and global cultural flows. Ultimately, the article argues that stylistic expression functions as a symbolic arena where questions of belonging, spirituality, and cultural resilience converge, thus reaffirming style’s central role in the preservation and transformation of national identity.

The main subject of gender linguistics is the analysis of gender aspects of language, the identification of gender stereotypes, and the study of the influence of language on social issues related to gender inequalities. In this work, we will consider the main concepts and theoretical approaches in gender linguistics, gender aspects of language, gender stereotypes in language, and the connection of gender linguistics with social problems.

This article analyzes the role of Anglicisms in media discourse and their semantic adaptation using examples from the German and Uzbek languages. As a result of globalization and the intensification of internet communication, th e rapid spread of lexical units borrowed from English into other languages has been observed. Particularly in media texts, Anglicisms quickly become widespread and undergo various semantic transformations.

Based on a corpus of Anglicisms used in Uzbek and German online media, the study comparatively examines their semantic adaptation. The findings show that in German, Anglicisms are often used in their original form, whereas in Uzbek, they are phonetically and orthographically adapted, accompanied by processes such as semantic narrowing or broadening.

This article presents an areal analysis of ethnonyms-derived toponyms (ethnotoponyms) in the modern Uzbek language. During the research, the tribal and clan names mentioned in “Shajarayi turk” were examined in terms of their preservation as toponyms within the territory of present-day Uzbekistan, particularly in the Samarkand, Jizzakh, Surkhandarya, and Kashkadarya regions. The article scientifically highlights the role of historical-ethnic processes, migration, cultural interactions, and geographical factors in the formation of ethnotoponyms. Based on the areal linguistic approach, the territorial distribution, historical layers, and semantic changes of ethnonyms were identified. The results of the study serve as an important scientific source for a deeper understanding of the ethnic composition, ethnogenesis, and the formation of the toponymic system of the Uzbek people.

In recent decades, the works of John Ronald Reuel Tolkien have had a profound impact on global literary culture, fostering increased interest in the fantasy genre and the exploration of the mythological roots of his creations. This article presents a comparative-typological analysis of mythological paradigms and cultural archetypes in Tolkien’s works, focusing primarily on the epic The Lord of the Rings. Various contemporary approaches to the concept of myth are discussed, along with the role of mythological motifs in shaping cultural and linguistic identities, exemplified by English and Uzbek languages. The importance of myth as a foundational model for understanding the world and as a creative process involving authorial reinterpretation of mythological narratives is emphasized.

This scientific article analyzes the specific reception and poetic reconstruction of Eastern culture in the work of Velimir Khlebnikov, a key figure of the Russian avant-garde. Unlike others, he did not attempt to describe the East accurately and realistically. Instead, Khlebnikov actively invented his own, imaginary East through experiments with language and the creation of new myths. This fictional East was part of his grand idea—to change and transform the world through the power of the word. For Khlebnikov, language was the primary tool for creating a new mythology and erasing the boundaries between countries and cultures.
