Corpus-Based Research of Literary Texts: Methods, Approaches and Experiments

2025-06-13T06:46:38+00:00

In linguistics, there are various methods of analyzing literary texts that allow us to study various aspects of the language and style of poets and writers. Below, we will focus on the most common and important methods of analysis aimed at analyzing the author's idiolect.

French Prose Of The First Half Of The 19th Century And The Problem Of Personal Writing

2025-06-20T07:27:38+00:00

This article examines autobiographical texts (personal novels, memoirs, autobiographies, diaries, letters) by French writers of the first half of the 19th century as a unified whole, demonstrating their homogeneity and revealing the process of the novelization of genres within so-called «documentary prose. » It is important to consider that «fictionality, » as a feature of personal writing in Romanticism, does not necessarily imply falsehood or the author's deliberate fabrication of the self-according to literary conventions in order to conceal their true identity by replacing it with fictional «doubles. » Therefore, it is crucial to take into account the authorial intention, which is largely shaped by how Romantic culture of the 19th century conceived of the self. It is essential to avoid the danger of reducing literature to a mere game in which the individuality of the writer is lost. One must fully attribute to the realm of writing what constitutes the very essence of personal self-awareness, equating the writing «I» with the act of writing itself.

Cultural Conceptualizations of 'Good' and 'Evil': A Comparative Linguistic Analysis of National Proverbs

2025-05-29T10:59:43+00:00

The abstract concepts of "good" and "evil" are fundamental to human morality, ethics, and societal organization, yet their specific conceptualizations vary significantly across different cultures. This article explores the representation features of these national cultural concepts, particularly as they are embedded within the rich linguistic tapestry of proverbs. Drawing upon insights from cognitive and cultural linguistics, this study outlines a methodology for analyzing how "good" and "evil" are objectified and expressed in the proverbs of various linguistic cultures, such as Russian, English, Kyrgyz, and Circassian. By examining the semantic nuances, metaphorical expressions, and associated values within these traditional sayings, this review aims to highlight both universal moral inclinations and distinct cultural specificities. Understanding these culturally-bound conceptualizations is crucial for enhancing cross-cultural communication, appreciating diverse ethical frameworks, and recognizing the role of language in shaping collective mentality.

Automatic Text Normalization in Uzbek: Problems, Tools, And Solutions

2025-06-23T16:15:06+00:00

In recent years, research in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) has increased the demand for automated text analysis across multiple languages, including Uzbek. The multi-form, morphologically complex, and stylistically diverse nature of texts written in Uzbek poses certain challenges for automatic analysis. The central focus of this article is the automatic normalization of Uzbek texts—that is, the process of text normalization. It is dedicated to studying the linguistic and technological issues that arise during automatic text normalization in the Uzbek language. Complex morphological structures, polyform words, dialectal variants, Cyrillic-Latin script differences, and non-standard expressions complicate this process. The results of this research contribute to the deeper digital processing of the Uzbek language and to improving the quality of systems for machine translation, speech-to-text conversion, and text analysis.

The Role of Information Services in The Education System

2025-06-13T06:37:17+00:00

The accelerated digital transformation of education has propelled information services from peripheral utilities to core enablers of learning, research, and institutional governance. Drawing on a purposive review of empirical studies, policy documents, and institutional reports published between 2015 and 2025, this article examines how modern information services—ranging from learning management systems and digital libraries to analytics dashboards and AI-supported help desks—reshape pedagogical practice and administrative decision-making. The study adopts a mixed-methods explanatory design: a systematic content analysis establishes thematic trends, while three illustrative case vignettes (Uzbekistan, Finland, and Australia) supply contextual depth. Findings show that effective deployment of information services improves instructional quality, widens equitable access, and supports evidence-based management; however, gaps in digital literacy, data ethics, and sustainable funding hinder full realisation of these benefits. The article argues that strategic alignment between technological infrastructure, human capabilities, and regulatory frameworks is indispensable to convert informational affordances into educational value. Recommendations emphasise integrative governance models, continuous professional development, and culturally responsive content curation.

Cognitive Processes In Second Language Learning: A Psycholinguistic Perspective

2025-06-20T07:23:15+00:00

This article examines the constellation of cognitive processes that underlie second-language (L2) learning, drawing on contemporary psycholinguistic theory and empirical evidence. The study integrates models of working memory, attentional control, implicit–explicit knowledge interaction, and lexical access to explore how learners internalise and retrieve a new linguistic system. A mixed-methods design combined eye-tracking with stimulated-recall protocols during an intensive twelve-week instructional programme for Uzbek-Russian bilingual adults acquiring English. Quantitative analyses of gaze duration and reaction-time measures were triangulated with qualitative thematic coding of verbal reports to trace the dynamics of noticing, chunking, form–meaning mapping, and automatisation. Results show that high phonological working-memory span and efficient executive control predict faster consolidation of morphosyntactic sequences, while implicit statistical learning mechanisms dominate the acquisition of low-salience grammatical cues. The discussion situates these findings within usage-based and declarative/procedural frameworks, arguing that successful L2 learning emerges from the synergy of domain-general and language-specific cognitive resources modulated by task design. Pedagogical implications point to adaptive scaffolding that targets the shifting locus of cognitive load across proficiency levels.

Comparative Analysis of Cognitive-Pragmatic Features in The Translation of Satirical Texts

2025-06-11T10:35:46+00:00

In our article, we present theoretical information and solutions for comparative analysis within the framework of cognitive-pragmatic features encountered in the process of translating humorous texts. To achieve an adequate translation, it is necessary to consider several important aspects. Although linguistics has long been studying wordplay, which forms the basis for creating jokes and humor, the translator should consider how to reflect various features of the source language, such as cognitive-pragmatic characteristics and existing styles, in the target text. Particular attention should be paid to these elements, especially if they are used to create a sense of humor.

Issues Of Artistic Impact And Consequence In Ghazal Writing

2025-06-18T13:40:49+00:00

Ghazal (غزل) is an Arabic word meaning "to flatter women." When this lexeme became the nomeme of a lexical genre, it began to be used in relation to lyrical poems on the theme of love, written in the bahrs of the aruz meter. Over time, the content of this genre has expanded. Despite the fact that it differs from other classical lyrical genres in its specific features, among the people, this term has been transferred to the meaning of a general poem and song. While the first detailed definitions of the term ghazal were given by great word artists such as Shamsiddin Muhammad Qays ar-Razi and Rashiduddin Vatvot, Abdurahman Jami emphasizes that its main content should consist of love. Alisher Navoi says that "pain and word" (love and the fire of love) lead in it:

Ey Navoiy, sen-u Xusrav bila Jomiy tavri,

San’at-u rangni qo’y, so’zda kerak dard ila so’z. [1.219]

Although Alisher Navoi portrays the pain of love and the fire of love as leading themes, the thematic nature of the ghazal has broadened considerably in his work. In fact, the enrichment of the content of the ghazal in Turkic literature began with the work of Lutfi.

Darkness And Light In Metaphorical Language: A Cognitive Study Across English And Turkic Languages

2025-06-20T07:25:35+00:00

Metaphors of darkness and light are among the most entrenched conceptual structures through which speakers of many languages construe knowledge, emotion, morality and social order. Drawing on Cognitive Linguistics, this study provides a contrastive examination of English and three Turkic languages (Turkish, Uzbek and Kazakh), asking whether the same image‐schematic oppositions underlie their discourse and how far culture reshapes the universal experiential basis. A 4.5-million-word balanced corpus of modern newspaper prose, fiction and academic writing in each language was queried for lexical items meaning “dark-/black-” and “light/bright/white” together with common collocates. Every concordance line was coded for source–target mappings according to Conceptual Metaphor Theory and statistically compared across languages. Qualitative close readings complemented the counts to expose culturally salient extensions such as divine illumination in Sufi Uzbek verse or socio-moral “whiteness” in Kazakh proverbial speech. Results reveal a stable cognitive template in which LIGHT indexes knowledge, moral approval and vitality whereas DARKNESS indexes ignorance, danger and emotional gravity, yet each language foregrounds different sub-domains and narrative frames. English displays a rational-secular orientation (“to shed light on a problem”), Turkish accentuates socio-political solidarity (“karanlık güçler” ‘dark forces’ for anti-democratic powers) and Uzbek preserves religious connotations (“nur topmoq” ‘to find light’ = receive divine guidance). These findings confirm that bodily experience grounds the metaphors but local history and ideology orchestrate their discursive salience. Pedagogically, explicit awareness of such metaphors can aid translation, intercultural pragmatics and vocabulary teaching in Turkic-English contexts.
