KINSHIP-BASED ADDRESSING FORMS IN KARAKALPAK AND KOREAN: A LINGUOCULTURAL PERSPECTIVE

2025-12-13T10:51:39+00:00

This article presents a comparative linguocultural study of kinship-based terms of address in Karakalpak and Korean, examining how these linguistic forms function not only as labels for family members but as complex social tools that negotiate hierarchy, intimacy, respect, and relational proximity. Drawing on a combination of descriptive linguistic analysis, ethnographic observation, and sociolinguistic interpretation, the study investigates both semantic and pragmatic dimensions of address terms [2; 3; 12]. In Karakalpak, kinship nouns such as apa (“older woman”), ağay (“older man”), ini (“younger brother”), and bala (“child”) are employed flexibly in everyday interaction to convey respect, familiarity, and emotional closeness, often extended to non-relatives [10; 11]. The language’s agglutinative morphology allows for diminutives, possessives, and plural forms, further enriching expressive capacity [8; 13]. Korean, in contrast, reflects Confucian cultural norms, with kinship-based address terms like hyung, eonni, and oppa functioning as essential markers of politeness, age distinction, and gendered relational roles. Honorific markers at the sentence level modulate the pragmatic force of these forms, allowing speakers to navigate hierarchical and affective dimensions simultaneously [4]. By analyzing these systems comparatively, the study highlights convergences and divergences in how unrelated languages encode social values, revealing the influence of cultural traditions, nomadic versus Confucian family structures, and collectivist ethics on linguistic practice [2; 5; 12]. The article also considers sociolinguistic variation across age, gender, urban/rural environments, and formal versus informal contexts, as well as the effects of intergenerational change and digital communication [7; 9]. Ultimately, this study demonstrates that kinship-based terms of address serve as a lens for understanding broader cultural worldviews, social organization, and pragmatic strategies in human interaction. The findings underscore the inseparability of language, culture, and social norms, offering insights into cross-cultural pragmatics, affective linguistics, and comparative sociolinguistics [3; 12].

CORPUS-ORIENTED ANALYSIS OF THE TRANSFER OF NATIONAL-CULTURAL REALIA IN UZBEK-RUSSIAN LITERARY TRANSLATION

2025-12-13T11:49:15+00:00

This article examines a corpus-oriented approach to analyzing the transfer of national-cultural realia in Uzbek-Russian literary translation. The research material comprises S.S.Avezov’s parallel corpus, based on A.Kadyri’s novel “Days Gone By” and its Russian translations, which enabled the comparison of various types of realia (religious, everyday, ethnographic, ritual, and socio-spatial) and the translation strategies employed. The study demonstrates that religious realia are predominantly conveyed through equivalent substitution and transliteration, while everyday and culinary items exhibit a broader range of techniques - from generalization and culturally adapted equivalence to descriptive translation.

SOMATIC CODE OF CULTURE IN TRANSLATION LEXICOGRAPHY

2025-12-13T10:38:24+00:00

The article examines the somatic code of culture in the context of Russian-Uzbek translation lexicography based on phraseological units containing body part names. The empirical material is drawn from Russian-Uzbek and Uzbek-Russian phraseological dictionaries and compared, taking into account the figurative basis, semantic structure, and cultural connotations. It is shown that, while sharing a common anthropological foundation, Russian and Uzbek somatic phraseology display different areas of semantic concentration. In the Uzbek language, “face” serves as the core marker of honor and social visibility, whereas in Russian, “tongue” as an organ of speech and moral discipline carries the key significance. The types of interlingual equivalence and asymmetry, instances of desomatization in translation, and shifts in the somatic center within equivalent structures are identified.

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF LINGUOCULTURAL MARKERS IN UZBEK AND ENGLISH MEDIA DISCOURSE

2025-12-13T11:32:47+00:00

This article analyzes the manifestation of linguocultural markers in Uzbek and English media discourse and their role in reflecting intercultural differences. The findings indicate that English media discourse prioritizes individualism, analytical reasoning, and neutrality, whereas Uzbek media emphasizes collectivism, emotional expressiveness, and moral values. Metaphors, forms of address, evaluative lexis, and national symbols serve as indicators of underlying cultural codes. The study employs discourse analysis, semantic interpretation, and comparative methods to examine how linguistic forms convey national identity and worldview. The results demonstrate the inseparable interrelation between language and culture and how media discourse functions as a mirror of collective mentality.

MAIN ASPECTS OF STUDYING THE EVALUATIVE COMPONENT OF PAREMIOLOGICAL FUND IN THE RESEARCHED LANGUAGES

2025-12-11T13:52:22+00:00

This article examines the cognitive-semantic and axiological foundations of evaluation in language, with a particular focus on the evaluative potential of lexical units and proverbs within informal discourse. Drawing on the works of M.V. Nikitin, E.S. Aznurova, N.D. Arutyunova, V.N. Telia, A.A. Ivin, J. Searle, A. Wierzbicka, and other scholars, the study explores how evaluative meanings emerge as integral components of human cognition and linguistic activity. The paper argues that evaluation constitutes a fundamental mental operation that shapes an individual’s worldview, cultural identity, and communicative behavior. Proverbs and paremiological units, due to their ethnospecific and metaphorical nature, serve as culturally marked carriers of positive, negative, and neutral evaluations. Their semantic structure reflects collective value systems and enables cross-cultural comparison of national linguocultures. The research highlights two major types of linguistic values—socially and culturally shaped evaluations and binary oppositional value scales (good/bad, pleasant/unpleasant, etc.). Theoretical perspectives from classical philosophy (Aristotle, Hobbes, Locke, Spinoza) and modern linguistic axiology illustrate the multidimensional nature of evaluation, encompassing psychological, emotional, pragmatic, and cognitive factors. Overall, the study demonstrates that evaluative semantics plays a central role in understanding how language encodes cultural values, shapes communicative intentions, and contributes to constructing a nation’s linguistic picture of the world

LINGUOCULTURAL APPROACH TO THE TRANSLATION OF SUBSTANDARD VOCABULARY IN ENGLISH LITERATURE INTO UZBEK (ON THE EXAMPLE “THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER” BY MARK TWAIN)

2025-12-13T11:26:14+00:00

This article examines the role and significance of the linguocultural approach in translating substandard lexis from English into Uzbek, using Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer as a case study. The research demonstrates that the complexity of translating substandard lexis lies primarily in fully rendering its national-cultural content, stylistic coloring, and social function in another language. It is argued that, in the translation process, strategies such as functional equivalence, calquing, cultural adaptation, and compensation based on Roman Jakobson’s principle of “equivalence in translation” are necessary. The analysis, conducted on the basis of Ilyos Muslim’s Uzbek translation, shows how substandard units are stylistically, semantically, and culturally reproduced in the target language. The findings highlight that translating substandard lexis in English literary texts requires a linguocultural approach that accounts for semantic and stylistic differences between the two cultures to accurately convey the author’s colloquial, emotional, and socially marked expressions. The conclusions of the study hold practical value for literary translation practice, linguoculturology, lexicology, phraseology, and translation theory.
