Abstract

Language also appeared like other phenomena in nature and society. The emergence of language is proportionally related to the emergence of society. Therefore, it is impossible to imagine language without society, and society without language. The development of language is also related to the development of society. After all, the life of the society is reflected in its language. It is not for nothing that it is said that language is a mirror of society. Any change in the life of the society will first of all be expressed in the language. However, as related as they are, language and society are different. The difference is that the language belongs to society, it is its social "property". For example, the Uzbek language belongs to the Uzbek people (nation), while the Tajik language belongs to the Tajik people (nation). Since the Uzbek language belongs to the Uzbek nation, the Uzbek language and the Tajik language belong to the Tajik nation, that is why it is called the Tajik language. The classics of Marxism-Leninism also separately dealt with the issues of the emergence and development of language and created their own doctrines. According to this doctrine, language is noted as a social phenomenon.
