Formal-Structural Analysis of Onomatic Words (Six Chapters Explanatory Dictionary of The Language Is an Example)

Abstract

In this article, onomatopoeic words in the “Explanatory Dictionary of the Uzbek Language” published in 2023 were studied formally and structurally, mainly onomatopoeic words with one base were statistically analyzed and their types given with taql.s. and tasv.s. were studied separately. Each type is illustrated with examples. Types of meanings of simple onomatopoeic words according to the expression of sound or state were classified separately. All onomatopoeic words in the dictionary are given as examples. Imitative words in explanatory dictionaries published in 2006-2008 and 2023 were comparatively studied and opinions were expressed about the differences between simple imitative words in some places. Also, onomatopoeic words with one base were divided into types depending on whether they have an additional structural element or not and comments were made on the form and size of onomatopoeic words in dictionaries (based on syllables). The independent or compound occurrence of onomatopoeic words in illustrative examples was studied and examples of compound onomatopoeic words were given. In explanatory dictionaries, the places where repetitive onomatopoeic words are included in the illustrative examples of simple onomatopoeic words were studied separately. Based on the data and conclusions obtained from the formal-structural analysis of onomatopoeic words, additional information and recommendations for subsequent editions of the explanatory dictionary were provided.
