THE REPRESENTATION OF THE EASTERN MODEL OF EDUCATION AND UPBRINGING IN LITERARY TEXTS AND PROBLEMS OF ITS RECEPTION BY WESTERN READERS (BASED ON THE TRANSLATION OF “SHUM BOLA”)

Ibrohimbek Alisherovich Soatov — Sat, 23 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This article examines the artistic representation of the Eastern pedagogical model in Gafur Gulyam’s masterpiece "Shum Bola" and its perception by Western audiences through English translation. The research focuses on the linguacultural distance between the Uzbek collective upbringing system - characterized by the “usta-shogird” (master-apprentice) tradition, community oversight (mahalla), and moral didacticism - and Western individualistic social norms. Using comparative-typological and receptive analysis, the study identifies the specific challenges faced by translators in conveying national values to foreign readers. The findings suggest that while the narrative remains engaging, certain pedagogical nuances, such as strict discipline and spiritual blessings (duo), may undergo conceptual shifts in the target culture. The article concludes that successful translation requires a balance between domestication and foreignization to preserve the original didactic spirit for the Western audience.

Gulshoda Shamsiyeva — Sat, 13 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The rapid development of artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and multilingual machine translation technologies has significantly increased the importance of parallel corpora in translation modeling and translation education. Modern intelligent translation systems increasingly rely on semantically adapted multilingual corpora for contextual interpretation, semantic image learning, and adaptive translation generation. This study examines the linguistic, semantic, technological, and pedagogical requirements for parallel corpora in teaching translation modeling in a multilingual computing environment.

INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO STUDY THE CULTURAL CODE OF A NATION

Leyla Kholmuradova — Sun, 17 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The relevance of this article consists in an integrated approach to the study of cultural code of different nations in the process of multilingual communication. Language does not exist in isolation from culture; rather, it functions as the fundamental mechanism through which all other manifestations of culture become possible. No element of a cultural system can emerge or be meaningfully understood by members of a community unless it has first been verbalized, designated, and incorporated into the space of discursive exchange.Under these conditions, intercultural communication gradually develops its own conceptual and terminological apparatus, formulates a system of key concepts, and establishes its methodological foundations. This makes it possible to regard it not as a peripheral field within the structure of the humanities, but as a self-sufficient and mature scholarly discipline with its own objects, methods, and research objectives.

TERM AND TERMINOLOGY AS AN OBJECT OF RESEARCH IN MODERN LINGUISTICS

Mavlyuda Anvarovna Mustafayeva — Sat, 23 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

PRAGMATIC ANALYSIS OF IMPLICATIVE AND PRESUPPOSITIONAL INTERROGATIVE SENTENCES IN LITERARY WORKS

Gulnoza Isokhonovna Rakhmatova — Sat, 23 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This article explоres the linguоpragmatic features оf presuppоsitiоnal and implicative interrоgative sentences based оn the nоvels “Sarоb” by Abdulla Qahhоr and “An American Tragedy” by Theоdоre Dreiser. The study demоnstrates that presuppоsitiоnal interrоgatives express implicit backgrоund knоwledge, while implicative interrоgatives cоnvey indirect meanings and the inner psychоlоgical states оf characters. The cоmparative analysis highlights differences in authоrial style and the use оf pragmatic devices. The findings emphasize the impоrtance оf pragmatic analysis in literary texts.

OPTIMIZING INTERFERENCE DYNAMICS IN ENGLISH SPEAKING SKILLS THROUGH INTERACTIVE TEACHING METHODS

Bobur Turdaliyev — Sat, 13 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study focuses on reducing interference in English oral speech and optimizing the dynamics of interlanguage development. Interference arises from the interaction between the native language and the target language systems, leading to phonetic, grammatical, and lexical errors in spoken communication. The research was conducted within cognitive-communicative, psycholinguistic, and interlanguage frameworks. These approaches explain language acquisition not only as a linguistic process but also as a cognitive and communicative one. Based on these theoretical perspectives, interactive methods such as debates, problem-solving situations, and competition-based activities were employed to enhance learners’ active verbal participation and promote spontaneous speech production. The findings indicate that these interactive methods significantly improve students’ speech accuracy, fluency, and pragmatic adaptability while reducing interference-related errors in oral communication.

A LINGUISTIC, STRUCTURAL, AND CULTURAL COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ENGLISH AND UZBEK PAREMIOLOGICAL UNITS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS' LEXICAL COMPETENCE

Gulrukh Bakhodirovna Rajapova — Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This article is devoted to a comparative analysis of teaching English and Uzbek proverbs and sayings, examining their linguistic, structural, and cultural characteristics. Proverbs are concise and expressive manifestations of folk wisdom that reflect the worldview, values, and cultural identity of a nation. The aim of the study is to identify the similarities and differences between the paremiological units of the two languages, classify them from thematic, structural, and pragmatic perspectives, and develop practical methodological recommendations for learners of English and Uzbek. The research employs comparative-typological and contextual analysis methods. The empirical material consists of more than 200 paremiological units selected from the Little Oxford Dictionary of Proverbs (2016) and academic collections of Uzbek folk proverbs. The findings reveal that the proverbs can be categorized into full equivalents, partial semantic equivalents, functional equivalents, and culture-specific (non-equivalent) units. While English proverbs predominantly reflect pragmatism, individualism, and rationalism, Uzbek proverbs emphasize collectivism, family values, and hospitality. Structural analysis demonstrates that both languages share features such as parallelism and rhythmic balance. The study concludes that proverbs are not merely linguistic units but also cultural codes that preserve national identity and transmit it from one generation to another.

THE MYSTICAL ESSENCE OF THE CONCEPTS OF THE WORLD AND TRANSIENCE IN THE WORKS OF ALISHER NAVOI

Shoirakhon Khujaeva — Sat, 27 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This article provides a literary-philosophical analysis of the mystical (irfanic) essence of the concepts of “world” (dunyo) and “fana” in the works of Alisher Navoi. The study reveals the Sufi interpretation of the image of the world in the poet’s writings and elucidates its symbolic meaning as a manifestation of carnal desires and transient worldly interests. Furthermore, the concept of fana is examined as a process of renouncing the egoistic self, attaining spiritual purification, and ascending toward divine perfection.

The article analyzes the interrelation between the concepts of world and fana in Alisher Navoi’s oeuvre and determines their place within the Sufi-mystical system of thought. The findings demonstrate that Navoi does not advocate a complete rejection of the world; rather, he promotes a proper and conscious attitude toward it, while interpreting the station of fana as a spiritual stage leading an individual to moral and spiritual perfection.

Feruza Melsovna Khajiyeva — Sat, 23 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This article analyzes the artistic interpretation of Eastern civilization, cultural space, and the scientific-educational environment in Noah Gordon’s novel The Physician. The journey of the protagonist, Rob Cole, to the Eastern world is interpreted not merely as a geographic relocation, but as a process of spiritual and intellectual transformation. The study provides an extensive analysis of Eastern scientific centers, medical traditions, Sufi perspectives, and the cultural landscape of medieval Muslim society. In the work, Eastern civilization is presented in sharp contrast to the West: while England is depicted as a place of darkness, disease, and ignorance—where medical knowledge remains limited to folk remedies and barber-surgery—the East, particularly Isfahan, is portrayed as a hub of science, medicine, philosophy, culture, and religious tolerance.

It highlights the genre's continuation into the 20th century by poets like G. Gulom and Q. Muhammadiy, including its place in children’s literature, noting its poetic form. The article underscores the literary, philosophical, and pedagogical significance of riddles.

FOLKLORE MOTIF IN SA’DULLA SIYOYEV’S NOVEL “AHMAD YASSAVIY”: THE MOTIF OF OVERCOMING THE NAFS

Nilufar Shirinboyevna Tosheva — Sun, 17 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This article studies the folklore motifs in Sa’dulla Siyoyev’s Ahmad Yassaviy, focusing mainly on the motif of overcoming the nafs. The research analyzes how folklore traditions, symbolic images, and Sufi ideas are combined in the artistic structure of the novel. Special attention is given to the spiritual and moral development of the main character, Ahmad Yassaviy, who is portrayed as a symbol of purity, patience, modesty, and spiritual perfection.

The article explains the concept of nafs in Sufi philosophy and discusses its role in the process of human self-purification. In the novel, overcoming the nafs is presented as an internal struggle against worldly desires, selfishness, pride, and material attachment. The study examines how Ahmad Yassaviy achieves spiritual maturity through patience, self-control, and devotion to God. This process is reflected through various folklore motifs, symbolic episodes, legends, moral tests, and folk-style narrative elements. The research also investigates the connection between Uzbek folklore and Sufi literature. It highlights that many features of oral folk творчество, such as symbolic journeys, spiritual trials, wise-man images, and moral teachings, are actively used in the novel. These folkloric elements strengthen the national spirit of the work and help the author reveal the inner world of the protagonist more deeply.

Furthermore, the article analyzes the artistic function of folklore motifs in creating the philosophical atmosphere of the novel. The motif of overcoming the nafs is interpreted not only as a religious or mystical idea but also as a universal human value connected with morality, honesty, patience, and spiritual discipline. The study emphasizes that the novel promotes important ethical values that remain relevant in modern society. The findings show that folklore motifs play an essential role in the ideological and artistic structure of the novel. Through the motif of overcoming the nafs, the author presents the idea that true human greatness is achieved through spiritual purification and victory over one’s inner weaknesses. Therefore, the novel can be considered an important example of the harmony between folklore traditions and Sufi philosophy in modern Uzbek literature.

METAPHORIZATION AND INDIVIDUALITY OF POETIC LANGUAGE IN THE SHORT PROSE OF TATYANA TOLSTAYA

Durdona Siddiqjonova — Sat, 23 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This research report presents a comprehensive philological analysis of the mechanisms of metaphorization and the specific characteristics of Tatyana Tolstaya's individual authorial style in the genre of short prose. The paper explores the phenomenon of "metaphorical style," where tropes serve not only as a means of artistic expression but also as the primary principle of organizing the fictional world at the character, spatial, and temporal levels. The focus of attention is on the convergence of speech techniques, lexico-semantic syncretism, and the formation of the metabole-image as the foundation of the poetics of "dense" writing. The study covers both early short stories and the "new prose" of the 2010s, revealing an evolution from Baroque redundancy to a documentary "ego-text." The analysis confirms that the individuality of Tolstaya's language is based on the anthropomorphic animism of the material world and complex intertextual play, which allows for the classification of her work as a unique synthesis of modernist traditions and a postmodern worldview.

CLIL TEACHER TRAINING: CHALLENGES AND BEST PRACTICES FOR NOVICE EDUCATORS

M.D. Boynazarova — Sat, 13 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) has become an important approach in modern education, as it allows students to learn subject content and a foreign language at the same time. Despite its benefits, CLIL implementation might be difficult, particularly for inexperienced teachers with little training and experience. The purpose of this study is to investigate the primary challenges encountered by novice CLIL teachers and to pinpoint useful tactics that can aid in their professional growth. The study employs a qualitative methodology, utilizing classroom observations and interviews to gain a deeper understanding of instructors' perspectives. The results show that obtaining suitable teaching resources, managing classroom interaction in a foreign language, and striking a balance between topic and language objectives are common challenges for new teachers. Additionally, their teaching ability may be adversely affected by a lack of confidence and inadequate methodological preparation. Overall, the study highlights how crucial ongoing assistance and hands-on training are to the effective application of CLIL.

INTERPRETING FILMONYMS AS MULTIFUNCTIONAL LINGUISTIC UNITS

Dilafruz Razzakberdiyevna Umarova — Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This article provides a theoretical analysis of the linguistic nature of filmonyms, focusing on their nominative, communicative, and advertising-pragmatic functions. Filmonyms are regarded as special proper-name units that designate cinematic works; their primary function is argued to be the naming of a film and its distinction from other cinematic works. At the same time, film titles are interpreted as communicative units that establish initial contact with the audience, as well as advertising-pragmatic means capable of arousing interest in a film product. The article examines these functions of filmonyms through examples from English and Uzbek film titles. The findings show that filmonyms are not merely titles, but multifunctional linguistic units that mediate between the film text, the audience, and the cultural-social environment.

COGNITIVE COMPARATIVE LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF KINSHIP TERMS IN ENGLISH, RUSSIAN, AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

Dilnozakhon Burkhanova — Sat, 13 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This article presents a cognitive-comparative analysis of kinship terms in English, Russian, and Uzbek with the aim of explaining how each language packages family relations into lexical categories. The study is built in IMRAD format and combines componential, contrastive, and cognitive-semantic methods. The working corpus includes core consanguineal and selected affinal terms verified through lexicographic sources and recent scholarly studies. The comparison focuses on seven parameters: generation, sex, lineality, parental side, relative age, affinal specificity, and pragmatic extension to non-relatives. The results show that all three languages reliably lexicalize the nearest lineal relations, but they diverge strongly in the collateral zone. English tends toward semantic compression: aunt, uncle, and cousin cover relatively broad relational classes and require contextual or analytic clarification. Russian occupies an intermediate position: it preserves a rich traditional inventory, especially for in-laws, yet in current usage many specific terms are replaced by descriptive phrases. Uzbek demonstrates the highest degree of lexical differentiation in the sampled material, especially in distinguishing maternal and paternal lines and older versus younger siblings. The discussion argues that these differences should not be interpreted as simple degrees of lexical richness; rather, they reveal distinct cognitive strategies of categorization. English privileges economy and contextual inference, Russian shows partial restructuring under conditions of modern communicative simplification, and Uzbek integrates genealogy, hierarchy, and politeness into a single semantic field. The article concludes that kinship terminology is an especially productive site for studying the relationship between language structure, cultural knowledge, and conceptual organization.

COMPARATIVE-TYPOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF GRAMMATICAL CATEGORIES AND THE LEXICAL-SEMANTIC LEVEL IN UZBEK AND ARABIC LANGUAGES

Samariddin Mardonov — Sun, 17 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The study compares the structural differences between agglutinative and inflectional systems, as well as the functional aspects of grammatical gender, number, and definiteness-indefiniteness categories. In addition, the semantic transformation of certain Arabic borrowings in the Uzbek language is examined through examples. The findings of the study help explain some interference-related difficulties encountered in teaching Arabic to Uzbek learners.

The article also discusses the possibilities of creating individual learning trajectories and applying interactive methods using digital resources.

A CONTRASTIVE LINGUCULTURAL AND PRAGMATIC STUDY OF MORPHOLOGICAL MARKERS OF SARCASM IN UZBEK VERSUS LEXICAL MARKERS IN ENGLISH

Zarnigor Bakhriddinova — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Sarcasm, the most pointed form of verbal irony, conveys a critical evaluation opposed to what is literally said, yet the linguistic means by which it is signalled differ markedly across languages. This article offers a contrastive lingucultural and pragmatic analysis of how sarcasm is marked in Uzbek and English. Drawing on a comparable corpus of literary dialogue and informal digital communication, it identifies and compares the formal devices that carry the sarcastic cue. The analysis shows that the two languages exploit different structural levels for the same pragmatic purpose. English, lacking a dedicated sarcasm morpheme, marks sarcasm lexically and prosodically through positive evaluative vocabulary, interjections, conventionalized formulae, and hyperbole or understatement. Uzbek, an agglutinative language, concentrates the cue in bound morphology reportative suffixes, diminutive-affectionate and honorific markers, and attitudinal clitics that re-voices and inverts forms normally expressing warmth or deference. The same echoic, dissociative mechanism thus surfaces through divergent means, shaped jointly by language type and cultural values: each language inverts the very resources it has most elaborated for affiliation. The findings extend irony theory with under-described Uzbek data and refine the typological understanding of how attitude is encoded.

Aziza Supayeva — Sat, 13 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This article examines the improvement of methodologies for developing students’ scientific literacy in Grades 7–8 biology classes based on international assessment programs, particularly the approaches of PISA, TIMSS, and PIRLS, as well as OECD competency frameworks. The relevance of the study is determined by the need to enhance students’ ability to apply theoretical biological knowledge in real-life situations, provide scientific explanations, use evidence effectively, analyze data, and solve problems related to everyday life. The research employed pedagogical experiments, classroom observations, questionnaires, diagnostic tests, and statistical analysis methods. The study involved a total of 128 students from Grades 7 and 8, who were divided into experimental and control groups. The results of pre-tests and post-tests demonstrated a significant positive improvement in the scientific literacy indicators of students in the experimental groups. In particular, a methodological model based on problem-based situations, contextual biological tasks, PISA-type questions, inquiry-based learning, STEAM elements, and the integration of digital technologies proved to be effective. The findings indicate that aligning the content and methodology of biology education with international assessment requirements contributes to the development of students’ functional knowledge, scientific thinking, and twenty-first-century skills. The results obtained are compared with international research findings, while the advantages and limitations of the proposed methodology are analyzed, and practical recommendations are provided.

TRANSLATION OF LEGAL AND DIPLOMATIC DISCOURSE: PRESERVING PRECISION AND EQUIVALENCE

Mohinur Kayimova — Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This paper analyzes the critical balance between precision and equivalence in translating legal and diplomatic discourse. While legal texts demand absolute monosemy to eliminate structural loopholes across asymmetrical legal traditions (Common Law versus Civil Law), diplomatic documents rely on strategic “constructive ambiguity” to bridge ideological divides and secure international consensus. By examining the theoretical frameworks of systemic asymmetry (Cao, 2007), supranational textual fit (Biel, 2014), and functional legal equivalence (Šarčević, 2000), this study evaluates major historical milestones, including the Treaty of Waitangi and UN Resolution 242. The findings demonstrate that semantic mismatches carry profound geopolitical and statutory risks, emphasizing that human cognitive control remains irreplaceable over automated systems.
