Phonetic Principles in The Formation and Nomination of Trade Names

Zamira Madrimova Ganiy qizi — 2025-11-02

This article analyzes the importance of the phonetic principle for the formation and nomination of the food product name and trademark with a material on Uzbek language. It employs contemporary theories of pragmatonymy and chrematonomastics to iteratively examine the phonetic properties of food brand names on sound structure, audibility, tempo and phono-semantic congruence The research underscores the role of sound symbolism, analyzing occurrences of assonance and dissonance in influencing the memorability of brands and how they are perceived by potential buyers. One gap in knowledge this article addresses is the few studies on phonetics of food brand names in the Uzbek language, whereas, quite the opposite exists regarding English food brands. This article does a great job covering the main phonetic principles for successful naming involving pronunciation ease, stress, and sound symbolism. This article is methodologically descriptive-analytical, structural-linguistic and quantitative in its analysis of more than 150 food brand names in the Republic of Uzbekistan. These findings suggest that brand names that follow certain phonetic shapes and sounds to help better align to consumers and increase brand recognition. The above study is significant to consumer behavior literature because it combines the previously unconnected fields of phonetics and consumer psychology/culture. It also generates several implications for marketers and linguists. For marketers, the study can inform better branding strategies and ways of creating more impactful brand names on the Uzbek market. For linguists, the main implication is that not all phonetic principles have universal psycholinguistic effects: thus, more research is needed on the constructs’ cross-linguistic comparison and the impact of phonetic principles on global brand perception.

Harobotiy's Enlightened Words

Yusupov Adham Akhadovich — 2025-11-04

This research explores the intellectual, philosophical, and mystical legacy of Mavlono Kharoboti, a prominent 17th-century Uzbek thinker, poet, and Sufi scholar from Tashkent. The study examines his major works Kulliyot, Masnaviyi Kharobotiy, and Risolayi Faqriyya which collectively reflect his deep engagement with Islamic jurisprudence, Sufi ethics, and philosophical reasoning. The article employs textual, historical, and comparative analysis to explore the synthesis of rational and mystical thought in Kharoboti’s writings. The research underscores his contribution to the development of Uzbek classical literature and Islamic philosophy. The result display that Kharoboti considered knowledge ( ‘ilm ) and moral perfection ( ihsan ) to be inseparable ways to spiritual enlightenment. The author’s interpretation of the Sufi path is based on a higher degree of soul purification, the search for godly love, and a holistic synthesis of intellect and faith. The work likewise indicates his potential influence on further literary and spiritual traditions as Kharoboti successfully linked the Naqshbandi and Mevlevi ways. On the whole, the article concludes that his heritage is beyond poetry and mystics; it is a philosophical understanding of human ideal and moral obligations that lasts through the centuries. His enlightened sayings are still used today as a source of reflection on the unison of mind, passion, and spirit within the boundaries of Central Asian Islamic thought.

The Use of Possessive and Plural Suffixes in the Dialect of Ethnic Arabs in Ishtixon

Sadoqat Rajabova Rasul qizi — 2025-11-05

Uzbek dialects show enormous diversity in Central Asia, a homeland of many nationalities and the centre of ancient history. One of these is the dialect of the ethnic Arabs in the town of Ishtixon in the region of Samarkand, which possesses its own distinctive characteristics. It is characterized by aspects of Arabic linguistics mixed into the Uzbek language environment, especially in suffix systems for possession and plurality. Like other varieties, however, the Ishtixon Arab dialect has not been researched in detail and its possessive and plural suffixes which are сharacterised by deviations from standard Uzbek, has not been discussed. The purpose of this research is to study the features of the form, meaning and function of the possessive and plural suffixes in the Ishtixon Arab dialect, their phonetic and morphological features and the relationship of this dialect with literary Uzbek. The study argues that though the Ishtixon dialect has maintained some of the innovations found in their possessive and plural suffix systems including particular patterns of unique vowel harmony and consonant alternations these patterns also have some less regular features that appear to have originated locally and thus suggest resistance to certain innovations. These features set it apart from the literary Uzbek language. An illustrative case of this morphological development is provided by the suffix systems in the Ishtixon dialect, showing how Arabic influence and local Uzbek innovation interact in the dialect.

The Hadith That Laid the Foundation for the Arba'in Tradition

Gulrukh Mahamedova — 2025-11-07

This article examines the Hadith that established the theological and ritual foundation for the Arabian tradition within Islamic culture. It explores how this Hadith evolved from a concise prophetic statement into a central component of Shi‘a religious consciousness and ritual expression. This research contextualizes the Hadith historically, spiritually and socioculturally, and examines its exegesis interpretations from classical and contemporary aqueduct. The study examines the interplay between prophecy, collective memory and ritual enactment via comparative textual analysis. Special focus is placed on how this Hadith went beyond textuality to become a performative teaching turning dhikr into a form of mandatory moral and theological duty. The results demonstrate that the Arabian ritual, based on this Hadith, constitute not only a remembrance of martyrdom and struggle, but also a symbolic practice of spiritual continuity and identity formation among Shi’as. The research finally proves that the compositional and symbolical aspects of the Hadith influenced and mainly impacted the Islamic ethics and the structures of collective faith.

A Comparative Analysis of Somatic Units in Devonu Lug‘otit Turk and Modern Uzbek Language

Feruza Rahmatova — 2025-11-06

Somatic vocabulary forms one of the most ancient and universal layers of human language, reflecting how societies conceptualize the human body and its symbolic meanings. Mahmud al-Kashgari’s Dīwān Lughāt al-Turk (11th century) serves as the earliest and mo[st comprehensive source for Turkic somatic lexicon, preserving numerous body-related terms that continue to exist, though transformed, in modern Turkic languages, particularly Uzbek. In spite of this significance of somatic lexemes in linguistic and cultural changes, comparative research studies focused on semantic and phonetic isomorphism of these lexemes from Old Turkic to modern Uzbek are rare. The study will examine 115 somatic lexemes from this 11th/12th century text (Dīwān Lughāt al-Turk), comparing them with modern forms in Uzbek to identify lexemes preserved or transformed, archaic or obsolete, and to explore patterns of linguistic continuity and change. The dissection of this type showed that some somatic units such as til (tongue), tish (tooth), ko‘z (eye) preserved their original forms and meanings, whereas others were phonetic shifting (e.g. baş → bosh, boğuz → bo‘g‘iz), archaic or obsolete due to narrowing content (see Semantics in the theory of linguistic signs in Feuda 1924) and cultural reasons. Here the work outlines a systematic classification of somatic lexemes that preserves the division between conservation and change in Uzbekistan tools, as well as their chronological development through the centuries. The findings contribute to historical lexicology and comparative Turkic linguistics, offering insights into how somatic vocabulary encapsulates both linguistic stability and cultural adaptation within the Turkic language continuum.

Sorting and Storing Search Results in The Uzbek Language Corpus. Lexical Search Parameters

Yuldashev Aziz Uyg’un O’g’li — 2025-11-06

The advancement of corpus linguistics in Uzbekistan requires the establishment of efficient digital tools for linguistic data retrieval and analysis. Despite the creation of several electronic corpora, comprehensive studies on search mechanisms—specifically sorting, storing, and lexical filtering in the Uzbek language corpus—remain limited. Current corpus systems lack a detailed methodological framework for organizing search results, handling lexical parameters such as lemmas and morphemes, and ensuring user-friendly data export and management. This study aims to analyze and systematize search mechanisms for the Uzbek language corpus by focusing on sorting, storing, and lexical search parameters, and adapting international corpus practices to the morphological complexity of Uzbek. The insights gained through the findings also unveil how even the very data that is presented within some of these resources can be made even more meaningful and discoverable through combining alphabetical, frequency and metadata-based sorting with lemma- and morpheme-based search capabilities to improve search functionality as a whole. Moreover, exporting (CSV, XML, JSON) and history-saving functions make sure that the software will be usable in the long-term for research. The research presents a general model for combining computational and linguistic principles to increase the efficiency of corpus search and an adaptive model of dealing with agglutinative structures. The proposed system strengthens the methodological foundation of Uzbek corpus linguistics, facilitates corpus-based research and teaching, and supports the development of computational linguistics in Uzbekistan by transforming the Uzbek corpus into an interactive, analytical, and educational digital resource.

Character System and Poetics in Uzbek and Turkish Folk Fairy Tales: a Comperative Analysis

Saydullayeva Aziza Ubaydullayevna — 2025-11-06

Fairy tales are a key history genre that both demonstrates how folklore serves as a vehicle for cultural values, social norms and moral lessons. They are an important vehicle for reflecting the collective imagination of a community. Drawing on conceptual frameworks developed by Vladimir Propp, E.M. Meletinsky, and other leading folklorists, this study analyses the character systems and poetic features of Uzbek and Turkish folk fairy tales. The study examines the character in such stories in terms of how they are used symbolically and narratively. Though motifs and archetypes in single traditions have been the focus of previous research, studies that comparatively link Uzbek and Turkish folk tales with a single Turkic focus are scarce. The goal of the paper is to find the types of characters, their functions in the narrative structure and poetic characteristics of these stories. It also aims to identify commonalties and differences in the culture exhibited between fairy tales of the two traditions. The study found that while the traditions have common archetypes of heroes, villains, and helpers, significant differences emerge shaped by cultural, historical, and religious influence. Gender roles and symbols like mountains and rivers feature deeper cultural significances. This aspect of the comparative study helps to gain knowledge on the universal features of fairytales within the cultural context. The actualities reflects on the persistent importance of folk fairy tales as instruments in developing cultural identity and provide meaningful indirect evidence of the ways myth is integrated with modern cultural narratives.

Autobiography and Autobiographical Work: Comparison and Analysis

Hamdamov Ulug‘bek Hasan o‘g‘li — 2025-11-09

The study of autobiography as a literary genre has long held significance in both world and Uzbek literary scholarship due to its dual function as an artistic and documentary form. In literary tradition, autobiography serves as a self-narrative in which the author not only records personal experiences but also interprets them through the lens of reflection, imagination, and moral evaluation. Historically, autobiography evolved from religious confessions and philosophical reflections into an independent genre that unites factual precision with artistic creativity. Despite extensive global research on the autobiographical genre, the distinction between autobiography as a literary form and as a documentary record has not been sufficiently analyzed in the context of Uzbek literature. This study aims to explore the theoretical essence, historical development, and artistic functions of autobiography, clarifying its boundaries with biography and works of autobiographical character. The analysis reveals that autobiography transforms factual life events into aesthetic and philosophical narratives, serving as a medium through which the author’s inner world and external reality converge. It reflects moral growth, self-analysis, and the author’s creative individuality, linking personal memory with cultural and historical consciousness. The study establishes autobiography as an autonomous literary genre grounded in realism, psychological introspection, and self-awareness, rather than mere documentary narration. The findings contribute to literary theory by demonstrating that autobiographical and semi-autobiographical works expand realism, enrich character psychology, and reinforce personal experience as a foundation of artistic creativity and humanistic expression.

Development of Social Competence in Students (Based on Vitagen Education)

Rasulova Hulkar Sadatovna — 2025-11-09

The sphere of social competencies is needed for the socialization of students, aimed at their functioning in the social environment and personal and professional adaptation in the modern society, that is why the formation of these competencies is one of the key goals of education. One such approach that promises to enhance social competence is the one of vitagenic education that uses a person, aggregated through their life experience as an educational environmental object. However, although vitagenic education is theoretically significant, there are few studies on the specificities of vitagenic education in relation to social competence development in students. This article intends to study how it can be incorporated in vitagenic education in practice, it will strengthen the social skills of the students and aid in their development not just for academic growth but excellence in the fields of personal and professional life as well. It identifies approaches like role playing, debates, and group assignments that develop the social competence components of empathy, critical thought, teamwork, and reflection. The originality in this innovative work/research paper is the teacher education technology for vitagenic social competence development which has not been applied and no such previous studies have been found aiming at students day to day life for achieving skills which will help in personality and professional development in the social world. However, the broader pedagogical implications are that vitagenic principles should be integrated into university curricula across varied disciplines so that students thrive in the complexity of contemporary life and work.

The Image of Mother and Turan in Halima Khudoyberdieva’s Poetry: Artistic Expression and Spiritual Meaning

F. Khudoyqulova — 2025-11-09

The poetry of Halima Khudoyberdieva holds a special place in Uzbek literature as a profound artistic reflection of national identity, spiritual awakening, and maternal devotion. Through the symbolic image of the Mother of Turan, Khudoyberdieva’s verses intertwine personal emotion with collective consciousness, expressing the ideals of courage, endurance, and moral purity that define the spiritual essence of the Uzbek people. Her works such as My Words Left on Earth, I Have Often Stood in My Homeland’s Courtyard, and Supplication portray the deep connection between motherhood, homeland, and national pride. Although her poetry has been widely appreciated, few studies have systematically analyzed the artistic and spiritual significance of the Mother and Turan imagery within the broader context of Turkic literary traditions. This study seeks to reveal the artistic, philosophical, and cultural meanings behind Khudoyberdieva’s use of maternal symbolism and to interpret how it serves as a metaphor for national revival and moral resilience. The analysis demonstrates that her poetic imagery transforms maternal love into a symbol of spiritual power, portraying the mother not only as a personal figure but as the moral heart of the nation. Her lyrical expression harmonizes emotional sensitivity with intellectual depth, representing unity, sacrifice, and awakening. The research presents an integrated literary and cultural interpretation of Khudoyberdieva’s poetic vision, linking motherhood to national identity. The findings contribute to understanding women’s voices in shaping Uzbekistan’s cultural consciousness and affirm Khudoyberdieva’s role as a moral and spiritual guide in modern Uzbek literature.

Interpretation of the Concept of Rindlik in the Works of Alisher Navoi

R. Khudoyberdiyeva — 2025-11-09

The concept of rindlik represents one of the most profound and philosophically rich ideas in classical Eastern and Sufi literature, symbolizing a state of spiritual freedom, moral integrity, and divine love. In the works of Alisher Navoi, particularly Mahbub ul-Qulub and Lison ut-Tayr, the poet reinterprets the image of the rind, transforming it from a figure associated with indulgence and carelessness into one embodying ascetic wisdom, ethical strength, and enlightenment. His depiction of rindlik reflects the fifteenth-century Timurid intellectual milieu and reveals his mastery in blending mysticism with poetic expression. Despite extensive studies on Navoi’s philosophical ideas, the artistic and moral dimensions of rindlik have not been comprehensively analyzed as a unifying ethical and aesthetic concept within his works. This study aims to explore the spiritual, moral, and artistic meaning of rindlik in Navoi’s writings and to interpret its symbolic function within the framework of Sufi philosophy and literary tradition. The analysis reveals that Navoi presents the rind as a seeker of divine truth, one who transcends worldly attachments through repentance, sincerity, and spiritual devotion. Figures such as Sheikh San‘on and Sayyid Hasan Ardasher exemplify this ideal. The research establishes rindlik as a key ethical-philosophical category that integrates mysticism, aesthetics, and humanism in Navoi’s worldview. The findings contribute to understanding Navoi’s role in redefining moral and spiritual ideals in Turkic literature, emphasizing that true freedom lies in the liberation of the soul through divine wisdom and moral perfection.

Translation of English Physiological State Verbs Into Uzbek

Sulton Normamatov — 2025-11-07

Translation studies concentrate on the intricacies of translating meaning and the semantic and grammatical differences between languages. Two separate languages: English and Uzbek differ in every aspect including grammatical structure, order and even most importantly, physiological state verbs that play an essential role in languages as they directly concern the process of the human body. What makes this work different from others is the differentiation of physiological state verbs in English and Uzbek. These verbs are stative in nature in English but are very often expressed in the form of an action verb (with a dynamic meaning), adjective or noun in Uzbek, thereby revealing a difference between these two typologically different languages. Although the translation of these verbs has been discussed, the effect of the aspectual meaning of modal verbs on translation from English to Uzbek in different contexts and culture are still neglected. The subject of this study is to analyze the translation of English physiological state verbs into Uzbek in terms of semantic, grammatical, and pragma, the challenges of such model and related strategies for accurate reachability and natural sounding. Translation of physiological verbs differs considerably, according to the study. A lot of verbs either omitted or substituted, Semantically lose its meaning, resulting in a less fluent narrative in Uzbek. This study enhances comparative linguistics by supplementing the previous research focusing on physiological state verbs used in translations to explore their syntactic, semantic, and cultural divergencies. This emphasizes that translation can neither be strictly linguistic nor cultural. They emphasise that someone who knows the text must translate it, the translation does not have to be literal, but should be functional in order to preserve the emotional and literary depth of the work.

Mahmud Zamaxshariy’s Scientufic Heritage Study

Mukhamedkhodjayeva Sanobar Abdujalilovna — 2025-11-07

This article is a thorough review of the life and scientific heritage of the outstanding scholar of Khorezm Mahmud Zamakhshari. Zamakhshari, known by the title "Jorullah" (Neighbor of Allah), was an influential Islamic ethicists, lexicographers, and religious scientist, heavily influenced by his teacher Abu Muzar. His writings have left an enduring legacy across several scholarly domains, particularly ethics, philosophy, and literature. Zamakhshari's main education stations, which he followed in the intellectual style of that time, were Mecca, where he settled for about 15 years, and had the chance to study with eminent teachers such as Abu Bakr Yabiriy Andalusi, and Basra. One of them is al-Ghazali or more prominently known for his work, Navobigu-l-Kalim, which is a collection of aphorisms portraying moral studies, spiritual pathways, and human life reflections. While Zamakhshari's contributions were significant, the proper titles of many of his works, as well as exact relationship among some of his treatises are still under philological debate. This uncertainty has been the source of continuous academic dispute. The goal of this article is to clarify the title and attribution of Navobigu-l-Kalim, as well as to explore its philosophical and ethical significance. It also aims to delve into the controversies regarding other ethical writings credited to Zamakhshari. The final conclusion of the research is that although the title "Navobigu-l-Kalim" is the most famous title of the book, it has been introduced in the world with different names by different sources. It also validates the attribution of this work to Zamakhshari and discusses its impact on generations to come. Based on an analysis of both manuscript and scholarship, this article sheds new light on the intricacies of titling Zamakhshari's works. These findings are significant as they clarify Zamakhshari’s intellectual legacy and constitute an essential contribution to the study of Islamic ethics and Arabic literature, leading to proper attribution and analysis of Zamakhshari’s works in future scholarship.

The Importance and Significance of Women's Participation in Cultural Events in Social Development

Rasulova Shoira Azizovna — 2025-11-10

Women’s participation in cultural and educational activities serves as a vital factor in the spiritual, moral, and social development of society, reflecting their historical role as transmitters of national traditions and cultural values.This national policy is also «found» in the creative work of women of Uzbekistan, who are equally involved in cultural life (within the framework of strengthening family values, stimulating enlightenment, achieving gender equality, etc.), active creativity in the field of art, education, tangible and intangible heritage. While women´s efforts have been widely recognised, there has been little analysis of the contribution their participation in such cultural and educational events makes towards the construction of national identity and continuity and stability of society. As a result, the objective of our study lies in assessing the role of women in active participation in cultural events as an important factor in preserving national traditions, promoting social cohesion, and achieving gender balance in the cultural life of Uzbekistan for sustainable development. Research outcomes show that women play a pivotal role in the preservation of handicraft, arrangement of national festivals and youth education, apart from providing creativity and spiritual enlightenment. They are more than simply artists engaging with an audience; they are moral leaders, educators, and promoters of civic awareness. In this regard, the study presents an all-encompassing view, linking women participation in arts with socio-spiritual development and national heritage conservation. One of the essential conclusions of the research is that the integration of women into cultural life ensures not only the preservation of the cultural identity of Uzbekistan but also the highest degree of social harmony, equality between women and men, integral moral and aesthetic development of society.

Age and Platform Effects on Syntactic Complexity in Uzbek Social Media Discourse

Abdurayimova Durdona — 2025-11-08

This study explores the influence of age and communication platform on syntactic complexity in Uzbek social media discourse, focusing on Telegram and Facebook. Data were collected from 150 participants across five age groups, each contributing approximately 300 words, resulting in a 50,000-word corpus. Three syntactic indicators were looked at: the percentage of simple sentences, the proportion of compound sentences, and the average sentence length. Age and platform had an important effect on syntactic structure (p < 0.001), according to descriptive statistics, two-way Welch ANOVA, and Games–Howell post-hoc tests. Younger users preferred shorter, simpler constructions, while older users produced longer, more complex sentences. In comparison with Telegram users, Facebook users showed more syntactic elaboration. These findings highlight that syntactic variation reflects both cognitive maturity and platform-specific communication norms in Uzbek computer-mediated communication.

General Understanding of The Procedures for Applying The Naïve Bayes Classifier to Classify Topics

Narzillo Aloyev Raxmatilloyevich — 2025-11-08

The Naive Bayes classifier is one of the first and most famous examples of a supervised machine learning algorithm based on the Bayes theorem. Naive Bayes is mainly used for text classification and based on the principles of probability, with certain assumptions that make it computationally efficient. The Naive Bayes classifier can be quite efficient, but assumptions like the conditional independence of features, which are often untrue, can lead to reduced performance in real-world applications. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the mechanisms behind the Naive Bayes classifier and to demonstrate the implementation of Naive Bayes in text classification. If we apply Naive Bayes in spam email filtering, the model calculates conditional, prior probabilities to predict if an email is spam or not. It talks about the use of Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) to compute the probabilities used in text classification along with some information on the use of confusion matrices to evaluate the performance of classifiers. These results indicate the importance of data preprocessing and addressing feature dependence in real-life applications of Naive Bayes and suggest meaningful avenues for improving its performance.

Al-Hasan Ibn Ali Al-Atrash Al-Alawi

Mohammed hussein Khalaf — 2025-11-12

This research aims to study the biography of Imam al-Hasan ibn Ali al-Atrash and his role in the Islamic East, as one of the prominent figures from the Ahl al-Bayt (the Prophet's family) who contributed to spreading the faith and strengthening Islamic values. The importance of this topic stems from its shedding light on a significant aspect of the history of the Ahl al-Bayt, who were and remain a source of guidance for the Muslim community through their sacrifices for the sake of religion and the reform of society. The study examines the biography of Imam al-Atrash al-Alawi, whose name is associated with the city of Tabaristan, where he played an influential role in his religious and social environment. He is also considered a pivotal figure in the lineage of imams. His life was characterized by struggle and reform, making him a worthy model for scholarly research and academic analysis. The research relies on diverse historical sources, most notably: Al-Ansab by al-Sam'ani, Siyar A'lam al-Nubala' by al-Dhahabi, Al-Muntazam fi Akhbar al-Umam wa al-Muluk by Ibn al-Jawzi, and Muruj al-Dhahab by al-Mas'udi, in addition to a collection of modern references and relevant university theses. This diversity of sources has allowed for the formation of a comprehensive view of Imam al-Atrash's personality and his place in Islamic history. The study concludes that Imam Hassan Al-Atroush represents an extension of the illustrious biography of the Prophet’s family, as he combined belonging to the noble Prophetic household with a practical role in spreading Islam and social reform, making him a prominent historical figure deserving of further specialized academic research.
