to study the document, it is necessary to have complete and reliable information
about the persons connected with it and its creation, and to use a

of identification. When studying handwritten texts, it is possible to determine
various information, such as the author’s psychological state, age and
type of profession. The forensic examination of manuscripts distinguishes
between general and special signs of written language. This makes it possible
to determine and evaluate the lexical, grammatical and stylistic characteristics of the author of the text. This helps the expert to discover common

On some problematic words in the Uzbek literary language

Altay Noorullah, Hussamuddin Tuygun — Tue, 05 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0500

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the Uzbek language
— one of the major Turkic languages spoken by over fifty million
people worldwide — focusing on its status in Uzbekistan and Afghanistan,
as well as pressing issues awaiting resolution in these two regions. First,
the article examines the historical development of the Uzbek language in
Uzbekistan up to the independence period, particularly highlighting the
impact of Russian during the Soviet era. As a result of this influence, inconsistencies
emerged in the phonetic, lexical, and partly grammatical systems,
which continue to hinder the full development of the modern literary
language.
The article also analyzes the linguistic situation of Uzbeks living
in Afghanistan, where the Uzbek language lacks official status, leading to
challenges related to language policy. It explores the social and cultural
role of the language among Afghan Uzbeks, the level of its use, and the obstacles
preventing its development according to literary standards, along
with existing opportunities through a scientific and theoretical approach.
Furthermore, the article proposes clear recommendations and
suggestions for forming, popularizing, and sustainably developing the Uzbek
literary language in Afghanistan, including necessary measures to be
undertaken in this regard

Turkish Language Structure in the Interpretation of Local Intellectuals

Samixon Ashirboyev, Janat Aymuhambet — Fri, 06 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0500

Although rich material has been collected on the history of
Turkic linguistics, the works of local authors on the Turkic (Uzbek)
language at the beginning of the 20th century still need to be studied. True,
although we do not consider the work that is the object of our research
in this work as a full-fledged scientific work, as the first work created in
the Uzbek language of this period in linguistics, it is important for science
and for giving a critical assessment to it. we would be kidding. The work
is called «Turkish rule», but it is based on the facts of the Uzbek language.
It was known that at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the
20th century, the concept of Central Asian languages prevailed, and the
use of the concept of «Turkish language» rather than the name of concrete
languages was widespread. Because of this, Muhammad Karimkhoja
was forced to name this work as above, and he used the Uzbek language
in it, including, in part, the materials of the Tashkent dialect, but he did
not use the term Uzbek anywhere in the work. The work mainly reflects
the grammatical structure of the Uzbek language, but it belongs to the
category of theoretically empty works. It could be studied only in this
period as a grammatical work created in one of the Turkic languages.

Linguoculturology in National and Anglo- Saxon scientific contexts

Sanjar Islomov — Fri, 06 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0500

This article examines the current state of the discipline, research
approach and methodology of linguoculturology and their application in
a national context. It also examines the research approach, program and
methodology of cultural (analytic) linguistics, which offers an alternative
approach to linguoculturology, in the Anglo-Saxon and particularly in
German-speaking academic communities, as well as future development
trends. In addition, the overarching anthropocentric and functional
paradigms underlying these approaches will be also examined and
compared.
In particular, the changes that have taken place since the second
half of the 20th century in response to the limitations of traditional
linguistics and its historical reliance on a formal-structural approach,
which has been particularly prevalent in many contexts around the world,
will be addressed. This shift includes the emergence of hyphenated
linguistics and a functional paradigm within linguistics and related
disciplines. These developments have led to the introduction of research
methods that integrate linguistic, cultural and pragmatic perspectives,
triggering what is often referred to as the linguistic, cultural and pragmatic
turn within the broader framework of the social sciences and humanities.

A new fundamental concept in linguistics: “Language landscape of the world”

Afag Gemberova, Gulgun Huseynli — Fri, 06 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0500

In linguistics, we find the term “Language landscape of the world” for the first time in the research of the well-known German linguist Wilhelm von Humboldt. W. von Humboldt was the first to put forward ideas about the existence of the language landscape. He applied the didactic method in the analysis of language to his studies and noted that language forms a subjective view of the objective world in the form of inseparable unity with thinking. In general, within the framework of the world’s language perspective, not only the ideas of specific languages or language groups, and language families, but also about the reality surrounding them, but also about each individual himself, his psyche and thinking are reflected. It is from this point of view that the term “national language view of the world” is sometimes used in linguistics along with the expression (term) “language landscape of the world”.
Although the topic “Language landscape of the world” is an important topic both in terms of relevance and comprehensiveness, today the study of the concept of language landscape has unfortunately not been studied very widely.

Emotional-conceptual picture of the world, emotions and the concept of fea

Kamaraddin Davletov — Fri, 06 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0500

The anthropocentric approach to the study of the language is
one of the most important developping directions of modern linguistics.
It can be said that anthropocentric linguistics appeared in the middle of the
20th century as a reaction of linguists to structuralism, which was based
on the study of language outside of man, and man outside of language. The
integration of interdisciplinary approaches to the study of the language
of emotions allows us to reveal the objective picture of the expression of
emotions in language and to determine the basis of conceptual modeling of
the processes of emotional and intellectual interpretation of reality by the
subject of speech. Therefore, in the article, an attempt was made to interpret
such terms as “picture of the world”, “linguistic picture of the world”,
“emotional-linguistic picture of the world” which are widely used in the
field of linguistics. Also, the role and types of emotions in the system of
human experiences are classified.
