The Study of Poetic Language Features in General Education: Methodological Principles and Pedagogical Investigation

Meyliyeva Nasiba Tolmas qizi — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Under current socio-cultural conditions resulting from the process of globalization and the development of blazingly fast information technologies, the literature education, especially poetry teaching, becomes more and more complex in a pedagogical sense, given the fact that students have lost interest in reading cultural goods made of text, seeing them as writing-based material in a more complex sense. Poetic texts in grades 5–7 tend to be treated more or less superficially, and students are engaged to reproducing the text, rather than analyzing the artistic language, imagery, and elements of expression and representation, thus stunting aesthetic development and limitations of literary competence. Despite literary theory and pedagogical scholarship highlighting the importance of aesthetic perception, emotional engagement, and the poetic function of language, there is still a lack of methodological alignment between these theoretical underpinnings and systematic, classroom-based instructional practice. This study are in the need and to explore the evidential base for how these methodological principles for the teaching of the artistic language of poetry in secondary education may contribute to pupils analytical and aesthetic skills. The overall aim and a focus of the present study. The results, employing a qualitative pedagogical design utilizing observational, textual, and participatory methodology show increased student engagement, improved interpretation metaphor, symbol and emotional tone, and the development of independent aesthetic judgment. Formulating an integrated curricular framework for the teaching of poetry based on scientific considerations, engagement and autonomy, performance in real-life situation, and the unique value of education for aesthetic experience.

The Phenomenon of Functional Shift Between Parts of Speech in Uzbek POS Tagging

Xudayberganov Nizomaddin Uktambay ugli — Sat, 14 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This article analyzes one of the key linguistic problems arising in the process of automatic Part-of-Speech (POS) tagging of Uzbek language units, namely the phenomenon of functional shift between parts of speech. The agglutinative nature of the Uzbek language, the multifunctionality of verb forms, and their strong dependence on context are shown – through scientific examples, tables, and diagrams – to have a direct impact on POS tagging accuracy. The article discusses the linguistic causes of functional shift and explores ways of accounting for this phenomenon in automatic POS tagging models.

Narrative Strategies of Representing Multiculturalism in Zadie Smith’s Fiction

Norbayeva Nasiba Sodiqjon qizi — Sat, 14 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A central thematic and aesthetic concern of contemporary British literature, multiculturalism also embodies socio-historical realities that witness a significant postcolonial transformation, a high speed of migration and a spectre of globalization. Zadie Smith’s fiction, most prominently White Tooth, On Beauty, and Swing Time, takes an important space in giving a voice to these complexities via innovative narrative structures that emphasize of hybridity, dialogism, and cultural negotiation. Although Smith criticism has dealt richly with race, identity and diaspora in her novels, it has comparatively given less credit to the narrative strategies by which multicultural experience is elaborately shaped and troubled. In this study, I seek to examine the functional intertextuality of narrative techniques like polyphonic narration, intertextual hybridity, spatial-temporal plurality, and metafictional self-reflexivity as structural procedures for the representation of multiculturalism in Smith's key novels. The results show that Smith consecrates multiculturalism in the foundation of narrative form, decentralizing power from the center, contrasting the one-identity model, creating dialogic spaces where multi-culture, multi-identity coexist in tension and negotiation. The study proposes a unified narratological and postcolonial methodology that treats formal experimentation as an encompassing practice of cultural critique instead of an incidental stylistic quality. The implications of these findings are two-fold: firstly, that any consideration of literary multiculturalism must be located within a structural as well as thematic frame, and second that it should open a conversation relating to wider debates about the function of narrative form in the performative representation of identity, power and transnational experience in contemporary fiction.

Linguistic and Terminological Interpretation of the Noun Category Terms in Uzbek and Kazakh Languages

Qodirova Barno — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

One of the urgent tasks of modern linguistics is the systematization of linguistic terminology and the software of scientific consistency of Turkic languages. Despite the genetic proximity of Uzbek and Kazakh, as well as the typological similarity of two languages, absolute differences and variations in designating grammatical categories are observed, especially in the category of noun. Abstract The paper deals with the description and interpretation of the notions of noun category terms in Uzbek and Kazakh linguistics, which implies that the equivalent grammatical phenomena are described under the name of different national labels and theoretical descriptions. The knowledge gap this article fills is that, compared to those nouns, relevant terminology is not often described comparatively as a single terminological system, especially in terms of number, possession, case categories, and predicative forms. While these categorizations have been discussed previously, and sometimes even in cross-linguistic perspectives, with a strong emphasis on school grammar traditions framed within each language, overall terminological equivalence, divergence and functional overlap remains poorly explained. Comparative typological and structural semantic analysis, where definitions of Uzbek and Kazakh grammar works are compared and the functional functioning of nouns; This analysis is based on grammatical concepts such as the common and proper nouns, concrete and abstract nouns, plural and collective meaning, the possessive, the case, the auxiliary nouns, the predicative suffix. The results show that most of the meanings of noun category terms of Uzbek and Kazakh are similar, although the terminology is different, but some categories have structural differences. The most prominent difference is the Kazakh instrumental case, which has no direct morphological counterpart in Uzbek (where it corresponds functionally to constructions with bilan). These results point to a need for greater terminological standardization and more effective comparative description, with ramifications for Turkic grammar writings, the development of philological terminology, and terminology in textbooks.

Artificial Intelligence as a Tool for Reimagining Experience: A Study of “AI: When a Robot Writes a Play"

Hajir Nasir — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The research investigates how contemporary theater productions use technological intelligence systems to transform human perception and mental awareness and personal control.AI: When a Robot Writes a Play stands as a crucial event because it fights against established beliefs about how people should think and act independently. It uses immersive sound technologies together with live mediation to show how intelligence exists as a network which connects people through physical and emotional relationships. The performance requires us to evaluate how human thinking interacts with machines and non-traditional ways of understanding knowledge. The study aims to show that Artificial Intelligence is not an aid at writing, but an effective element in writing and shaping the structure of the play especially with the rapid development of Ai using. The research investigates performance by using post humanist methods which demonstrate how technology expands human perception instead of endangering it. The research addresses present-day worries about artificial intelligence because people doubt humans will lose their ability to make decisions on their own by developing a system which unites human and artificial intelligence operations through ethical connections. The study result that Artificial Intelligence becomes an important part in developing writing plays by making the text better structured formally, taking part in writing the text or turning in to an author, and producing conversations and so on. At the same time, it shows that the plays are presented without feeling, experience, pain, memories, faith and shock so it can't take the role of human completely as a soul writes. Therefore, it opens a new critical ways for exploring the relationship between human and the machine in the submitting acts. The audience become a fatal element on the stage by the interaction with actions instead of being a receiver so the digital dramaturge collect the viewers' feelings' to update its present data.

Analysis of Genres, Themes, and Imagery in Turkic Poetry of the Late 14th and First Half of the 15th Centuries

Ibragimova Shaxnoza — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This article contains detailed information on the changes of poetic kinds, thematic diversity and level of architectonics of images in the Turkic poetry of late 14th-the first half of the 15th centuries. With the help of a number of concrete historical materials and literary citations, it discusses the dynamic development process of these traditional genres and explains their creative functions in the Mongolian literary life at that time. Particular focus is placed on the transfer of Turkish literature to a new qualitative stage of development, when traditional literature forms (Persian-Arabic literature) interacted with indigenous Turkic creative principles. The study concludes that these poetic developments were a precursor to the Khorezmiy "Golden Age" of Turkish literature, in particular Husayn's contemporary Alisher Navoiy works.

Linguistic Analysis of The Sentence Stress in English and Uzbek

Jurayeva Nilufar Mukhiddin kizi — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This article analyzes distinguished peculiarity of stress in Uzbek and English linguistically. Like other components of prosody, sentence stress refers to the emphasis placed on specific words within a phrase that often conveys the speaker's intention, grammatical hierarchy and organization of information. In English, the content words that generally receive sentence stress are nouns, main verbs, adjectives, and adverbs: they contrast in form with function words (including pronouns) and are also crucial for distinguishing between what is given information and news. In Turkish since it is an agglutinative language, the stress differs due to its syntax. The study looks at the function of sentence stress in each language, highlighting typological differences and similarities. Using some selected examples in different sentences, the analysis shows how intonational and stress patterns reinforce meaning and communicative clarity.

Linguistic and Cultural Characteristics of Achromatic Color Names Used in Parememological Units in Uzbek and Russian

Sobirova Bashorat Bakhodirovna — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

It has been argued that color names not only function as lexical units but also as cultural codes, embodying particular national worldviews, value systems, and symbolic meanings embedded into the language. It is stated that within both Uzbek and Russian linguoculture, achromic color names are widely used in paremiological units and represent moral, aesthetic and psychological perceptions based on dichotomous oppositions related to the conceptual opposition such as good versus evil. Though color symbolism, linguoculture and scale of research works have been analyzed, so little attention is paid to the comparative study of comparative achromatic color components as carriers of national-culture codes in paremiology of Uzbek and Russian. The purpose of this study is to identify and compare the linguistic-cultural features of six achromatic color names in the proverbs of the Uzbek and Russian proverbs based on their conceptual, figurative, and evaluative functions. The analysis shows that the white black dichotomy acts as a default cognitive model in the two languages, verbalizing universally the moral oppositions but also reflecting nationally specific readings that are aligned with the dynamics of historical memory and cultural values. Achromatic lexemes serve as cultural codes that make abstract concepts intangible and increase the didactic and psychological impact of the paraemic unit. This research revises the framework for the achromatic color terms as linguocultural codes within paremiological structures of two languages. The results add to the body of research in cognitive linguistics and linguoculturology, providing insights into the intra-national deviations of cultural coding and through analysis of proverbs, how national conceptual systems are maintained and passed down through the generations.

Lexicographic Representation of the Concept of Loyalty and its Semantic Field in English and Uzbek

Umurzakova Aziza — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The concept of loyalty constitutes a fundamental moral and social value in human interaction and is deeply embedded in linguistic systems through a network of lexical and semantic representations. Despite its universal ethical significance, the linguistic conceptualization of loyalty varies across languages and cultures, particularly in terms of semantic structure, synonymic expansion, and stylistic orientation. This research article is a contrastive lexicographic study of loyalty in English and Uzbek: the way the concept of loyalty, the approximation and its co-hyponymic words with it are reflected, described and interpreted in terminology and synonymic paper resources. Based on the data from the fundamental sources of English lexicography (Oxford English Dictionary, Merriam-Webster, Cambridge Dictionary, Collins Dictionary), and lexicographic works of Uzbek (O‘zbek tilining izohli lug‘ati, O‘zbek tili sinonimlar lug‘ati, O‘zbek tili etimologik lug‘ati), this research focuses on definitional structures, intrinsic semantic components, object orientation and synonymic networks related to loyalty denoting lexemes. The results show that by comparison of types of meanings, lexically English is shown to possess a more diverse model of loyalty (loyalty, allegiance, fidelity, devotion), whereas Uzbek is semantically more concentrated and focused around sadoqat and its close variants (sodiqlik, vafodorlik, vafo). The research demonstrates both common and particular features of the concept of loyalty and makes a contribution to comparative lexicography and conceptual semantics.

Comparative Analysis of Zoonymic Units in English and Uzbek Proverbs and Sayings

Egamberdiyeva Yulduz Bakhodir kizi — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The article is devoted to zoonymic units English and Uzbek paremiology. Khayyām, the very fact that this world is fruit-deficient reflects a notion of ethical moral values, social norms and national worldview. It is a comparative study of semantic, structural and cultural characteristics of zoonymic paremias in the two languages, its similarities and differences in metaphorical meanings associated with animals. Through the comparative lens, we glimpse both universal symbolic meanings and nation-specific readings shaped by context.

Pragmatic Characteristics of Appositive Elements Within Textual Discourse

Mirzali Rabbimovich Raximov — Sat, 28 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This paper investigates the pragmatic functions of appositive constituents in text, focusing on their potential as fundamental means for managing information and guiding readers. Although traditional linguistics usually considers appositive constructions merely to be syntactic appendices, this part of the research fills an existing gap in knowledge by bringing together morphosyntactic structures and their functional-discourse properties. The present study deploys a qualitative and contrastive discourse analysis approach to investigate how appositives act as adjuncts to facilitate perspective change via at-issue vs. non-at-issue information in meta-discursive signaling. Further, their analysis shows how appositive relations function as informational anchors that writers can use to impose additional meanings (here termed ‘appositive impositions’) onto a text or other data without them disrupting the narrative flow. First, these results show that appositives are strategically utilized to foreground persuasion, clarity and communicative intent in multiple genres such as journalistic and literary texts. In summary, the findings suggest that a use-oriented approach to apposition increases the quality of text production and translation tremendously and offers a more comprehensive framework for understanding how syntax interacts with speaker orientation within contemporary linguistic research.

The Peculiarities of Lexical Borrowings

Norova Mokhitobon Fayzulloevna — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines the lexical borrowings and their influence on the French language. It is known that the vocabulary of a language is the most dynamic linguistic component, which is in the process of constant change. The development of vocabulary is manifested in two directions. On the one hand, the vocabulary of a language changes, is enriched, reflects the conditions of a certain historical period in the development of society, in its development, and these phenomena have no direct relation to the language system. It can also include the process of changing the meaning of words and enriching the vocabulary by borrowing words from other languages.

Poetic Means of Describing Nature in Sergey Yesenin's Lyrics

Mukhabbat Oynazarovna Burieva, Zarina Ramazonovna Yarikulova — Sun, 15 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This article explores the artistic and poetic means through which nature is portrayed in the lyrics of Sergey Yesenin. Particular attention is given to the richness of the poet’s language and the expressive devices he employs, including metaphors, epithets, similes, personification, and sound imagery. These components are responsible for its emotive channel and aesthetic beauty in his poetry. In Yesenin's poems, there is a bright imagery of author descriptions - forest, river flow or golden field; in the produced picture it gets acute feeling when human experiences harmony with world around. In many of the poet's works, he resorts to soft and melodious language and symbolic analogies when describing the inner unity between a lyrical hero and nature. Thus, nature in Yesenin’s poetry is not simply a passive backdrop against which the events unfold, but rather a living and expressive actor in the poetic narrative. Only voracious natural elements — personified, embraced with emotionally resonant imagery, or otherwise — mirror the internal feelings and recollections and spiritual encounters of a lyric protagonist. Therefore, the portrayal of nature becomes one of the dominant artistic tools that allow to reveal both the poet’s worldview, his close connection with his native land and the philosophical depth of lyrical observations.

Functional-Stylistic Characteristics of Similes used in Hoji Muin's Publicism

Tojiboyev Doniyor Dilshodovich — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Process of Pragmatic Resemantization and Pejoratization of Anthroponyms in Digital Discourse (Using The Example of The Name "Zaynab")

Anorkulova Ozoda — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This article analyzes the process of pragmatic resemantization of anthroponyms in the digital communication environment. The name "Zaynab" was chosen as the object of the research, and its historical and cultural semantic weight and connotative shifts based on phonetic contamination in the discourse of modern youth subculture were studied. The study used discursive analysis, a pragmalinguistic approach, and the observation method. The results show that internet slang and memetic thinking also turn anthroponyms into a subcultural playground. However, the probability of complete stigmatization of names with a historical and religious semantic basis is low. The article conceptually substantiates the mechanisms of intergenerational semantic difference, phonetic contamination, and pejoratization.

The Mediating Role of Reading Self-Efficacy in the Relationship between Tolerance of Ambiguity and Reading Anxiety among Iraqi EFL Undergraduate Students

Ali Falah Hasan AL-Zurfi, Hussein Ghanim = Al-Shammari — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study investigated the mediating role of reading self-efficacy in the relationship between tolerance of ambiguity and reading anxiety among Iraqi EFL undergraduate students. A sample of 155 students (80 females, 75 males) from the University of Kufa completed three instruments: The Second Language Tolerance of Ambiguity Scale (Ely, 1995), Reading Self-Efficacy Scale (Mills, Pajares, & Herron, 2006), and Foreign Language Reading Anxiety Scale (Saito, Garza, & Horwitz, 1999). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and mediation analysis with the PROCESS macro. Results revealed significant negative correlations between tolerance of ambiguity and reading anxiety (r = -.486, p < .001), and between reading self-efficacy and reading anxiety (r = -.614, p < .001), and a significant positive correlation between tolerance of ambiguity and reading self-efficacy (r = .532, p < .001). Mediation analysis confirmed that reading self-efficacy partially mediated the relationship between tolerance of ambiguity and reading anxiety (indirect effect = -.345, 95% CI -.468, -.224), explaining 59.6% of the total effect. These findings highlight the importance of enhancing both tolerance of ambiguity and reading self-efficacy to reduce reading anxiety among EFL learners.
