2025-11-15T10:01:45+00:00

This article examines the artistic portrayal of the adolescent figure in Tohir Malik’s “Farewell, Childhood”, focusing on the character’s psychological experiences and the depiction of life on the verge of crime. The study analyzes the complexity of adolescence, the influence of social environment on personality formation, and the intricate interactions between upbringing and surroundings, as reflected through the system of artistic images in the novel. The analysis of the protagonist’s inner experiences reveals that each of their decisions embodies the tension between childhood innocence and adolescent anxiety, the desire to find one’s place in society, as well as the processes of error, misjudgment, repentance, and self-realization. Through this depiction, Malik presents adolescence not merely as a biological stage, but as a period of moral and spiritual trials. The portrayal of life on the verge of crime in the novel arises directly from the adolescent’s confrontation with the social environment, deficiencies in family upbringing, and societal indifference. Through this character, the author encourages readers to be sensitive to the inner world of youth, to seek understanding, and to reflect on the shortcomings of the educational and social system. Additionally, the article examines the psychological analysis techniques employed by Malik, including the use of inner monologue, symbolic imagery, and a system of conflicts, from a scholarly perspective. These aspects render the novel not only a socially and morally significant work but also an aesthetically valuable literary phenomenon.

LEXICAL-SEMANTIC TRANSFORMATIONS OF CULTURE-SPECIFIC ITEMS IN UZBEK TRANSLATIONS OF CONTEMPORARY BRITISH LITERATURE

2025-11-14T16:00:57+00:00

This scientific article examines the lexical-semantic transformations of culture-specific items in Uzbek translations of contemporary British literature. Based on the Uzbek renditions of works by British authors written in the early 21st century, the study analyzes 200 culture-specific units to identify patterns of lexical, semantic, and grammatical shifts in translation. Theoretical frameworks by V.N.Komissarov, E.A.Nida, M.Baker, and L.Venuti underpin the analysis. Statistical findings reveal that semantic transformation is the most frequent type (47.5%), often resulting in the expansion, reduction, or distortion of meaning. Translators predominantly employ domestication strategies (37.5%), which enhance reader comprehension but risk eroding original cultural nuances. The article concludes with recommendations to improve translation quality, including the combined use of foreignization with explanatory notes, incorporation of footnotes, and enhancement of translators’ cultural sensitivity. The findings contribute new insights to translation studies and support the preservation of cultural context in Uzbek translations of contemporary literature.

SOME NOTES ON MEANS OF EXPRESSING NEGATION IN KOREAN, RUSSIAN, AND UZBEK

2025-11-15T10:08:26+00:00

This paper examines the features of expressing negation in the Korean, Russian, and Uzbek languages. Negation is one of the key grammatical categories that reflects the speaker’s attitude toward an action or a state. In Korean, negation is expressed in several ways: through the negative particles 안 (an) and 못 (mot), as well as by means of analytical constructions with the verbs 아니다 (anida) and 없다 (eopda). In Russian, the primary means of expressing negation is the prefix не-, while in Uzbek it is represented by the suffixes -ма, -мас, and the negative word йўқ (yo‘q). Special attention is given to the differences between simple and modal negation, their syntactic positions, and their pragmatic functions in speech. The paper also discusses the peculiarities of using negation in different speech styles — colloquial and written. The analysis reveals the specific features of the Korean system of negation and its distinctions from analogous structures in Russian and Uzbek.

HONORIFIC VERBS IN THE KOREAN LANGUAGE AND THEIR MEANS OF EXPRESSION IN THE UZBEK LANGUAGE

2025-11-15T09:44:53+00:00

This article analyzes the category of honorifics in the Korean language and its grammatical means of expression, as well as compares them with the ways of expressing respect in the Uzbek language. The study reveals that the honorific category in Korean verbs appears on three levels: subject honorifics (e.g., 가시다, 드시다), addressee honorifics (합니다체, 해요체), and third-person honorifics, with detailed linguistic examples. In contrast, the Uzbek language expresses respect not grammatically but through lexical (honorific words), syntactic (plural forms), and pragmatic (speech tone and politeness) devices. The comparative analysis demonstrates that the Korean language reflects social hierarchy through a structured grammatical system, whereas the Uzbek language conveys respect through cultural and communicative norms. The study highlights the interrelation between language and culture and the linguistic mechanisms that indicate social relationships in communication.
