Kuchimova Shahlo Nuriddin qizi — 2025-10-12

This article explores the pragmatic features of lawyer’s speech within legal discourse. Drawing upon examples from courtroom communication, legal interviews, and written submissions, the study analyzes how pragmatic strategies – including speech acts, implicature, politeness, hedging, and presupposition – contribute to persuasion, credibility, and legal argumentation. Through linguistic-pragmatic analysis, the article identifies key markers of power, institutional authority, and communicative intention that distinguish legal speech from everyday discourse. The study also emphasizes the importance of intercultural and ethical awareness in legal pragmatics.

Floristic Symbolism And Phytonymic Function In Contemporary Russian Young Adult Literature

Dr. Elena Voronina — 2025-10-01

Background: The symbolism of nature and flora is a cornerstone of the Russian literary tradition. However, while extensive scholarship exists on this topic within the classical canon, the specific role and function of plant-related vocabulary (phytonyms) in contemporary Russian literature for young adults remain underexplored. This subgenre presents a unique space where traditional motifs intersect with modern adolescent experiences and identities.

Aims: This article aims to investigate the symbolic and narrative functions of phytonyms in a representative corpus of contemporary Russian young adult prose. The study seeks to identify how plant names are employed to construct character, shape atmosphere, and convey thematic concerns relevant to modern youth.

Methods: A qualitative literary analysis was conducted on a selected corpus of post-2000 Russian young adult novels. The methodology combines close reading with a theoretical framework informed by linguistic and semiotic principles. This approach allows for the identification, categorization, and functional interpretation of phytonyms within their specific narrative contexts, drawing on theoretical work regarding literary processes [1], communication [6], and the reflection of reality in prose [3].

Results: The analysis reveals that phytonyms function as complex literary devices far beyond simple setting decoration. They are instrumental in character development, with specific plants consistently linked to protagonist psychology and memory. Furthermore, floristic imagery is frequently used to establish key thematic dichotomies, such as nature versus urban decay, authenticity versus artificiality, and nostalgia versus the future. The findings indicate a deliberate revival and reinterpretation of traditional symbols to articulate contemporary anxieties and aspirations.

Conclusion: Phytonyms are a vital and dynamic semiotic tool in contemporary Russian young adult literature. They serve as a crucial link between the rich national literary heritage and the pressing concerns of a new generation, offering profound insights into themes of identity, environment, and social change.

Hamroyeva Muborak Jumanazarovna — 2025-10-12

This article explores the artistic, psychological, and sociocultural dimensions of pseudonym and folklorism in English fairy tales. It focuses on how pseudonyms and symbolic character names function as creative tools that shape identity, morality, and worldview within folklore. The study also examines the phenomenon of folklorism—the adaptation and transformation of traditional folklore motifs in literary and popular culture—and analyzes how symbolic names and pseudonyms perform social, moral, and spiritual roles. Through textual and theoretical analysis, the paper reveals the deep interconnection between language, imagination, and collective consciousness in English folk narratives.

Challenges In Translating Historical And Political Narratives: Language, Style, And Period Authenticity

Mamadaliyev Abdumajit Mamosoliyevich — 2025-10-11

This article examines the linguistic, stylistic, and cultural challenges involved in translating historical and political narratives, with particular reference to Lee Kuan Yew’s From Third World to First: The Singapore Story (1965–2000). Using a qualitative descriptive and comparative approach, the study explores how translators navigate issues of political terminology, rhetorical style, and period authenticity. The analysis identifies three core areas of difficulty: the translation of ideologically charged terms, the reproduction of persuasive rhetorical structures, and the retention of historical context for culturally diverse audiences. English–Russian examples illustrate how dynamic and communicative equivalence can help preserve both meaning and emotional force. The findings underscore the translator’s role as a cultural mediator who must balance fidelity to the source text with accessibility for the target readership. The study concludes that successful translation of historical and political texts requires not only linguistic competence but also historical awareness and intercultural sensitivity.

Affixation In English And Uzbek Anthroponyms: A Comparative Study

Abdurahimova Durdona Tavakkaljon qizi — 2025-10-10

This paper examines the mechanisms of affixation in the formation of anthroponyms in English and Uzbek, highlighting their morphological, cultural, and social dimensions. Drawing on a comparative linguistic approach, the study analyzes a corpus of literary and historical examples, including works by William Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Abdulla Qodiriy, and Cho‘lpon. The findings demonstrate that English anthroponyms often derive from patronymic and diminutive suffixes such as -son, -s, -kin, and Fitz-, while Uzbek names frequently employ suffixes such as -ov/-ev, -iy, -zoda, -qul, -bek, and -chi to denote lineage, social roles, or religious affiliation. The results also reveal that affixation patterns reflect broader cultural and historical processes: the patriarchal and feudal structures of English society, and the Islamic and Turkic influences in Uzbek naming traditions. Contemporary naming practices show increasing challenges of transliteration and globalization. This study contributes to the field of comparative onomastics by providing a systematic analysis of affixal anthroponymy across two typologically distinct languages.

Sotvoldiyeva Muattarxon Ikromjon qizi — 2025-10-08

Somatic metaphors are being studied based on human body. They are widely used in language and culture to express human inner experiences, emotions, thoughts, or behaviors. Somatic metaphors represent one of the most vivid manifestations of the interaction between language, cognition, and culture. In linguistics, metaphors connected with human physiology and their meanings have been studied and analyzed by many scholars. The human mind initiates certain actions through the sensations of the body.

Boboqand Umarov — 2025-10-12

This article analyzes the artistic interpretation of human psychology, social life, freedom, moral responsibility, and national identity in Usmon Azim’s poetry written during the years of Uzbekistan’s independence.

It also examines how the poet replaced the ironic tone of his earlier style with a more open and reflective philosophical language filled with symbols, parables, and human emotion.
