The Evolution Of Constructs For Assessing Students' Oral Speech Skills

2025-12-15T14:42:03+00:00

In the modern education system, the primary goal is not only to impart knowledge to students but also to comprehensively develop their life skills. This article examines the historical evolution of constructs for assessing students' oral speech skills, from the 19th century to the present day. It highlights the initial focus on external aspects of speech (fluency, grammatical accuracy, pronunciation, and intonation) in Prussian and English education systems, transitioning to content-oriented criteria in the early 20th century, and later incorporating communicative approaches with linguistic, sociolinguistic, and pragmatic competencies. Particular attention is paid to holistic and analytic assessment methods, their advantages, and limitations, supported by research findings. The article also references international language proficiency assessment systems and high-performing countries in PISA assessments that emphasize creative oral tasks.

The Figurative Meaning Expressed Through The Characters In The Stories Of Gulkhani's "Zarbulmasal"

2025-12-09T11:10:12+00:00

Gulkhani's work "Zarbulmasal" is one of the major representatives of Uzbek classical literature, and its content is considered an important stage not only in the development of the fable genre but also in Uzbek prose satire. In the work, Gulkhani, using the language of birds and animals, sharply criticizes the social and political life of his time, the internal contradictions of the feudal system, the tyranny of officials, ignorance, and foolishness. The name "Zarbulmasal" is formed from the combination of the Arabic words "zarb" and "masal," and the work contains fables, proverbs, and symbolic stories. The composition of the work, mainly through the images of animals and birds, symbolically illuminates the conflicts between different strata of society and moral vices. Gulkhani expands the content of the fables, creating an opportunity to read and interpret issues relevant not only for his time but also for today. Thus, the work "Zarbulmasal," with its figurative and allegorical content, occupies an important place not only in Uzbek literature but also in world literature.

Linguosemiotic Functions Of Exotisms, Realia And Symbols In The Translation Of Litrary Texts

2025-12-09T11:56:00+00:00

This study explores how exotisms, realia, and symbolic elements function within translated works of literature from a linguosemiotic perspective. It draws on Peirce’s triadic sign model (icon, index, symbol), Barthes’ framework of denotative and connotative meaning, and Lotman’s theory of the cultural semiosphere. The analysis reveals that although the literal, denotative meaning is generally maintained in translation, deeper cultural and connotative layers are considerably diminished. Symbolic structures lose much of their expressive force, and many iconic signs shift toward symbolic interpretation. These shifts alter the linguopragmatic impact of the translated text and reshape how readers emotionally and associatively perceive it. Consequently, the article underscores the importance of developing linguosemiotic adaptation strategies to preserve cultural meaning more effectively in literary translation.

The study highlights the role of persuasive communication as a form of mental-verbal activity that manifests in persuasive discourse and is driven by the addresser’s global communicative intention. The article underscores the importance of analyzing persuasiveness at the intersection of cognition and communication.

Periphrasis In Expressive Speech And Its Influence On Agricultural Terminology

2025-12-09T11:32:58+00:00

Language reflects the spirit of a nation, and its richness determines the nation's strength and invincibility. Periphrases, as linguistic devices, enhance expressiveness and clarity, providing figurative descriptions that convey the essence of concepts in a vivid manner.

2025-12-15T14:37:59+00:00

The module of theory and technology of speech education of children serves to enrich a person's knowledge, skills, and ideas about the profession of preschool - pedagogical education of speech. The main task of preschool education is to prepare children for school. Children of preschool education should gain not only specific knowledge, but also thinking skills, understand the speech of peers and adults, freely exchange ideas with them, and carry out activities on the basis of cooperation. It is necessary that children think logically in their native language, correctly express their ideas through speech, control themselves, have such mental training as observation, hearing, memorization, generalization, comparison. In performing this task the importance of the science of speech development in the native language certainly plays a great role.

Terms Denoting Household Items In Old Turkic

2025-12-13T08:53:55+00:00

The language of historical and artistic sources serves to understand the content and practical significance of classical works, and at the same time it allows us to observe the phonetic, lexical and grammatical development processes of the language of the period in which the work was created. Taking this into account, in this article, some lexemes belonging to the household lexicon used in the work “Nahjul farodis” (“The Open Path to Paradise”) by Mahmud ibn Ali as-Saroy, one of the samples of the Old Turkic language of the 14th century, in particular, some words denoting household items, were subjected to linguistic analysis.

Lexical–Semantic Analysis Of Mining Terminology In The English Language

2025-12-16T02:29:57+00:00

Mining terminology in English represents a historically developed professional subsystem used to describe geological structures, extraction processes, safety procedures, equipment, and industrial operations. This study aims to provide a lexical–semantic analysis of English mining terminology, emphasising semantic motivation, terminologisation of common vocabulary, technical derivation, and semantic classification. Using a descriptive research method and examples from English mining lexicons, technical dictionaries, and professional discourse, the article analyses semantic relations, lexical origins, and structural categories of English mining terms. The findings demonstrate that English mining terminology exhibits systematic semantic organisation and highly productive lexical mechanisms such as compounding, conversion, semantic specialisation, and metaphorical extension. The article argues that English mining terminology forms a coherent professional sublanguage characterised by domain-specific polysemy, motivated word formation, and terminological semantic fields.

The Early Ethical Foundations Of The Self-Help Genre In Central Asian Literary Heritage

2025-12-11T10:40:08+00:00

This study examines the early ethical foundations of the self-help genre through a comparative analysis of texts from ancient, medieval, and modern periods across diverse cultural contexts. While Samuel Smiles popularized the term “self-help” in the nineteenth century, this research traces its intellectual roots to ancient civilizations, including Egyptian ethical instructions (Ptah-Hotep), Indian Vedic and Upanishads teachings, and Qur'an moral guidance, highlighting a long-standing tradition of structured ethical reflection paired with practical advice. Central Asian contributions, particularly “Tuzuk-i Timur” and the writings of Ali Sher Nava’i, demonstrate the cultivation of personal virtue, ethical leadership, and social responsibility, filling a gap in current scholarship that often overlooks non-Western perspectives. Comparative analysis shows continuity between these early texts and modern Western self-help literature, including Dale Carnegie and Napoleon Hill, revealing enduring principles of personal improvement, moral guidance, and actionable instruction. The findings underscore the universality of human efforts to codify moral wisdom and practical guidance into teachable frameworks, offering insights into the historical and cross-cultural development of the self-help genre.

A Brief Review Of Vilen Komissarov’s Theory Of Equivalence

2025-12-15T14:24:28+00:00

This article provides an in-depth analysis of the scientific interpretation of the theory of equivalence, a central concept in translation studies. Based on the views of Vilen Komissarov, the paper explicates the linguistic, semantic, stylistic, and pragmatic dimensions of equivalence. The study substantiates that although absolute correspondence between the source and target texts is impossible, achieving semantic proximity, functional adequacy, and preservation of aesthetic effect constitutes the primary task of the translator. The article highlights that equivalence goes far beyond formal lexical matching and encompasses a multi-layered phenomenon closely tied to cultural context, communicative purpose, and reader impact. Furthermore, the relationship between adequacy as a process-oriented category and equivalence as a result-oriented category is explained, and their significance in translation practice is theoretically justified.

Phonosemantic Expression Of Size

2025-12-15T15:01:45+00:00

This article analyzes the characteristics of phonosemantics in expressing the category of volume measurement. The study highlights the role of acoustic and articulatory properties of vowel sounds in symbolically representing the size features of objects, based on theoretical and experimental sources. Summarizing the research of S.V. Voronin, O. Jespersen, E. Sapir, J. Ohala, A. Shinohara, and S. Kavahara, it is shown that phonosemantic regularity has universal characteristics inherent in different languages. The opposition of big - small in the Uzbek language and semantically related adjectives such as large, huge, tiny, and minute are analyzed from the perspective of their phonetic composition. The tendency of wide vowels to express the meaning of largeness and narrow vowels to express smallness is substantiated. Additionally, the presence of phonosemantic exceptions such as mayda (small), yirik (large), big, and small indicates the probabilistic, statistical nature of volume measurement meaning. The research results confirm the existence of phonosemantic foundations for the category of volume in the lexicon of the Uzbek language and highlight the importance of acoustic factors in the formation of meaning in language units.

The article analyzes the linguoculturological interpretation of age-related values and ideals, the role of the concept of age in national-cultural thinking and how it is encoded in language units on a scientific basis. The axiological, sociological and metaphorical structure of the concept of age in culture is determined, and its manifestation in Uzbek language materials is shown at the lexical-semantic, paremiological and discursive levels. The research proves that age is not only a biological indicator, but also a cultural-social phenomenon.

Uzbek Equivalent Of The Arabic Noun (الاسْم) Category

2025-12-13T08:38:36+00:00

The Arabic noun category (ism, الاسم) represents one of the core structural elements of Arabic grammar and encompasses a wide range of lexical units, including nouns, adjectives, numerals, pronouns, participles, and infinitives. This broad semantic and grammatical scope differs significantly from the Uzbek grammatical tradition, in which nouns and related categories are classified into narrower and more strictly defined parts of speech. This paper provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of the Arabic ism category and its Uzbek equivalents, demonstrating how each language conceptualizes nominality and how these conceptualizations influence syntactic behavior, morphological marking, and category formation. Special attention is given to the categories of number, possession, and gender in Uzbek nouns, as well as the historical influence of Arabic borrowings on gender marking in Uzbek. Additionally, the study analyses how semantic, morphological, and syntactic distinctions shape the functional use of nouns in both languages. The findings highlight that while Uzbek and Arabic share several fundamental grammatical concepts, their structural realizations differ significantly due to typological divergence-Arabic being a Semitic language with rich inflectional morphology, and Uzbek being a Turkic, agglutinative language. This contrast underscores the importance of comparative linguistic research for language acquisition, translation studies, and grammatical theory.

The analysis delves into lexical units, proper names, and culturally specific realia, highlighting instances where translators make conscious choices to navigate semantic ambiguity, extralinguistic information gaps.

The Study Of Character Speech In Indian Translation Studies

2025-12-14T13:56:12+00:00

This article analyzes the study of character speech in Indian translation studies, focusing on its theoretical and practical aspects. In today’s era of globalization, preserving the uniqueness of character speech during the translation of literary works is of great importance. This is because a character’s speech is one of the key elements that conveys the artistic value of the work, its national color, and the author’s style. In Indian translation studies, the scholarly investigation of the concept of “चरित्र भाषण” (charitr bhāśaṇ)—that is, character speech—and the issue of rendering it accurately and naturally into another language remains a complex and pressing problem. The purpose of the article is to explore the study of character speech in Indian translation studies, to elucidate its theoretical and practical foundations, and to identify the factors that influence the accurate transmission of character speech in translation. In addition, based on the views of Indian scholars, the article examines stylistic, semantic, and cultural challenges involved in recreating character speech in literary translation and highlights the importance of preserving national color in translation.
