RHETORICAL INTERROGATIVE SENTENCES EXPRESSING EMPHASIS AND AFFIRMATION

Vaydulla Jumanov — 2026-01-03

Rhetorical interrogative sentences, which do not require an answer in dialogic speech, are characterized by the fact that they perform pragmatic functions such as implicit emphasis and affirmation, implicit denial, surprise, and are aimed at increasing the aesthetic value and artistic expressiveness of the text. Rhetorical interrogative sentences have an emotional coloring and serve to express the speaker's reaction to the interlocutor's previous remark or to strengthen the persuasion of the addressee (receiver of the message) of the correctness of the information being communicated.

THE ASPECTS OF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY NOMINATION

Nigora Umarkhanova — 2026-01-03

The article discusses the meaning of the word nomination, the use of the nomination in linguistics, and the types of nomination. In linguistics, nomination began to be studied in depth mainly in the middle of the 20th century, and the main theory also emerged during this period. The process of naming an object is onomasiology, and the phenomenon of secondary nomination is one of the main aspects of this direction. Also, we have studied autonomous and non-autonomous nomination with examples.

LINGUISTIC AND TRANSLATION STRATEGIES IN COVERING JOURNALISM EDUCATION PROBLEMS

Shahnoza Beknazarovna Uzokova — 2026-01-10

This study examines the role of linguistic and translation strategies in the media coverage of journalism education challenges, combining discourse analysis, comparative translation analysis, and scenario planning. Focusing on both local and international media texts, the research investigates how issues such as curriculum development, pedagogical innovation, and professional-practical training are framed, and how translation practices influence interpretation across linguistic and cultural contexts. The study employs a mixed qualitative methodology, including corpus-based analysis, Venuti’s domestication and foreignization model, and comparative evaluation of student translations. Key findings indicate that while student translators demonstrate grammatical competence and readability, they face challenges in cultural adaptation and idiomatic accuracy. At a broader level, expert-led scenario planning identifies stable trends (e.g., technological integration, hybrid learning, core journalistic skills) alongside uncertain trends (e.g., learner agency, flexible education models), producing four plausible future scenarios for journalism education. The research highlights the critical interplay between language, translation, and media discourse in shaping public understanding and provides practical insights for educators, translators, and policymakers aiming to enhance both translation practices and journalism pedagogy.

DIALECTS OF THE KOREAN LANGUAGE

Rushana Ashurovna Tellyayeva — 2026-01-03

The article examines the dialectics of the Korean language, reflecting the complex process of its historical formation, internal development, and interaction with the socio-cultural changes of the Korean Peninsula. The Korean language is presented as a dynamic system that combines elements of an ancient linguistic tradition, the influence of regional dialects, and modern standardizing tendencies. Of particular significance are the differences between the northern and southern variants of the literary standard, as well as the rich diversity of local speech forms, including the Honam, Gyeongsang, Jeolla, Hamgyŏng, and other dialect groups. Their functioning demonstrates a dialectical unity of stability and changeability: on the one hand, dialects preserve archaic grammatical and phonetic features, while on the other, they adapt under the influence of urbanization, mass media, and globalization. The study of the dialectics of the Korean language makes it possible to identify patterns of linguistic development, mechanisms of standardization, and processes involved in the formation of national and cultural identity.

THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL BASIS OF THE LINGUOCULTURAL RESEARCH OF THE CONCEPT OF HOME / UY IN ENGLISH AND KARAKALPAK LANGUAGES

Feruza Muratbayevna Kalkhorazova — 2026-01-03

The article explores the linguocultural features of the home / uy concept in English and Karakalpak from a theoretical and methodological perspective. The study is based on the principles of cognitive linguistics and linguoculturology, focusing on the identification of the core and peripheral components of the concept. Using paremiological units, phraseological expressions, and discourse examples, the paper provides a comparative analysis of the national and cultural content of the home / uy concept. The findings demonstrate that the concept of home carries a positive axiological value in both languages; however, its semantic realization is shaped by national mentality and cultural experience.
