Dr. Amal Y. Al-Hamdi, Dr. Saeed M. Nasser — Fri, 01 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study investigates the impact of flipped classroom pedagogy on the development of English language skills among secondary school students in Hajjah Province, Yemen. In light of ongoing educational challenges and limited access to effective language instruction, the research examines whether the flipped classroom model—a learner-centered approach that delivers instructional content outside of class and uses classroom time for active engagement—can enhance student achievement in English. Using a quasi-experimental design, the study compares the performance of students exposed to flipped instruction with those taught through traditional methods. Findings reveal significant improvements in language proficiency, particularly in listening and speaking skills, suggesting that flipped learning can be a transformative approach for English language education in resource-constrained settings.

Euphemism Formation in English And Uzbek Media Discourse: A Cross-Linguistic and Pragmatic Analysis

Eshchanova Mavjuda Khudayorovna — Sat, 16 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study provides a comparative analysis of euphemisms in English and Uzbek media discourse, focusing on their linguistic structures and pragmatic functions within cultural contexts. Drawing on contrastive linguistics and pragmatic theories, the research analyzes data from leading English (BBC, The Guardian, CNN) and Uzbek (Kun.uz, Daryo.uz, Xalq So‘zi) media sources using both quantitative content analysis and qualitative contextual analysis. Findings reveal that English euphemisms often address individualistic and global themes, employing lexical and grammatical mitigation strategies, whereas Uzbek euphemisms emphasize communal values and cultural traditions through poetic and idiomatic expressions. The study highlights the role of euphemisms in managing sensitive topics and shaping public perception, with implications for cross-cultural media communication. Future research directions include comparative studies with other Turkic languages and the use of AI-based tools for euphemism analysis.

Components of Cognitive-Discursive Approach: Understanding the Foundations

Kdirbaeva Gulzira Kurbanbaevna — Sat, 09 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The presented article delves into the cognitive-discursive approach in the study of mythology. This approach, within language research, holds a broader scope compared to the cognitive approach, providing a deeper understanding of verbalization within speech activity and its content. Within the realm of speech (discursive) activity, the cognitive basis of the language competence of the speech subject is manifested through content forms, which are then expressed through language forms grounded in cognitive-propositional structures.

Today, the study of mythology and the conceptual realm of myths holds significant relevance, particularly within the context of conducting research on human concepts through an anthropocentric paradigm. This involves advancing methods to describe and investigate anthropocentric issues, understanding the core principles of comparative mythology, and establishing the interconnectedness of mythological conceptual units based on how gods and heroes are represented in mythology.

In this article, we aim to provide a methodological and linguistic-cultural exploration of mythological concepts. This will be achieved through the analysis and etymology of mythological images as integral components of phraseologisms, linguistic and cultural interpretations of these mythological images, as well as their modeling. We will also develop a methodology and a conceptual framework for studying the distinctive features of mythology.

Special emphasis will be placed on the analysis from a cognitive-discursive approach perspective to delineate the aforementioned characteristics of units within the mythological conceptual sphere.

The Influence of Annie Ernaux’s Poetics on Contemporary Women Writers

Abdullayeva Firdavskhon Azamjon qizi — Tue, 19 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines Annie Ernaux’s profound influence on contemporary women writers globally following her 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature. Through analysis of recent scholarship (2020-2025) and comparative literary studies, this research demonstrates how Ernaux’s innovative autofictional techniques— “ranspersonal narratives,” “écriture plate,” and “collective autobiography”—have reshaped feminist life-writing across diverse cultural contexts. The study identifies contemporary writers including Chris Kraus, Sheila Heti, Rachel Cusk, Deborah Levy, and Fatima Daas who employ Ernaux-influenced techniques to explore class consciousness, gender politics, and memory. The Nobel Prize recognition has amplified her influence, establishing “autosociobiography” as a recognized literary category that transforms personal experience into collective understanding while maintaining rigorous sociological analysis.

The Interpretation of The Female Character in Ulugbek Khamdam's Novel "Rebellion and Obedience"

Abdullayev Khamra Dauletbaevich — Sat, 09 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The article explores the artistic portrayal of female characters in Ulugbek Khamdam’s novel “Rebellion and Obedience”, focusing on their psychological depth, societal roles, and existential struggles. It examines how women navigate the tensions between personal freedom and societal expectations, motherhood and individuality, and rebellion and obedience. Through characters like Aunt Larisa, Diana, and Farida, the novel presents contrasting archetypes—women burdened by loneliness and regret, those entangled in moral ambiguity, and others anchored in familial devotion. The analysis highlights Khamdam’s nuanced depiction of female agency, where characters like Diana reject traditional roles but face existential voids, while Farida embodies resilience through maternal and spousal loyalty. The article underscores the novel’s critique of societal norms that marginalize women’s inner lives, portraying their suffering as both personal and systemic. Khamdam employs retrospective narration and introspective monologues to reveal the generational echoes in women’s choices, as seen in Larisa’s tragic solitude and Diana’s cyclical despair. The study also contextualizes these portrayals within post-independence Uzbek literature, where female characters increasingly reflect complex identities beyond patriarchal frameworks. Ultimately, the novel frames women’s struggles as metaphors for broader human dilemmas—freedom versus duty, self-discovery versus sacrifice—making their stories universal. The article concludes that Khamdam’s artistry lies in humanizing these conflicts without moral absolutism, inviting readers to grapple with the interplay of societal constraints and individual agency.
