ABSTRACT
This scientific article presents a linguopragmatic
analysis of some words used in Abdurauf Fitrat’s articles. Additionally,
the article examines subtle aspects observed in Fitrat’s publicistic works.
KEYWORDS
literary, scientific, journalistic texts; formal, semantic, and lexical-semantic structure of texts; methodological and

pragmatic, cognitive-semantic, functional-stylistic, communicative-pragmatic, and other aspects.
INTRODUCTION
At the current stage of global linguistics,
communicative relations are studied based on
anthropocentric principles, with a focus on linguistic
phenomena and their expressive potential. The
disciplines of ethnolinguistics, text linguistics,
pragmalinguistics,
linguoculturology,
psycholinguistics, cognitive linguistics, and other fields
increasingly center on the role of individuals. Notably,
the study of human factors and speech in literary texts
from a linguopragmatic perspective raises linguistics to
a new qualitative level, enriching the 21st-century
linguistic theory with new concepts and optimizing
pragmatic knowledge.
In world linguistics, significant attention is given to the
linguopragmatic analysis of literary texts, the unique
stylistic and descriptive tools within them, and

linguopoetic approaches. This enables a deeper
understanding of both social systems and the
worldview of creators. Modern analytical approaches
in linguistics demonstrate the dynamic development of
the field.
In Uzbek linguistics, the wide application of
linguopragmatic methods in the analysis of literary
texts highlights the need for further exploration of the
subject. The recent focus on the linguistic features of
writers’ works and the composition of literary texts
reflects changes in the scientific field, driven by
independence. The interconnectedness of language,
literature, and culture emphasizes the growing need to
foster reading culture. As noted: “Paying attention to
literature, art, and culture is, above all, paying
attention to our people and future. If literature and
culture thrive, the nation thrives” [1].
This article aims to explore the pragmatic features of
the language used in Abdurauf Fitrat’s articles, given
his distinct mastery of expression and his role as the
first Uzbek linguist to stand out for his artistic skill and
original use of words.
LITERATURE REVIEW
To date, studies of literary, scientific, and journalistic
texts have focused on their formal, semantic, and
lexical-semantic structures, as well as their
methodological and educational value. The results
have contributed to developing dictionaries, manuals,
and textbooks that explore the lexical characteristics,
genre specifics, and communicative potential of
journalistic texts. Analyzing the vocabulary and
linguistic properties of publicistic genres remains an
essential area of research, especially regarding the
national lexicon used by prominent writers.
Despite significant research into the linguistic heritage
of Uzbek Jadid scholars and their literary, scientific,
and journalistic works, current findings provide only a
partial understanding of the literary language of the
late 19th and early 20th centuries. As emphasized: “We
must deeply study the work of our Jadid forefathers,
who bravely promoted knowledge, human freedom,
and patriotism under harsh conditions” [2:4]. A
comprehensive linguistic study of all genres created by
Jadid writers is essential to resolving these theoretical
and practical issues.
The language of Jadid publicistic works contributed
significantly to the development of the literary lexicon
and terminology of the time. Linguistic research into
these works offers valuable insights into the
development trends of Uzbek literary language in the
early 20th century.
This article aligns with the tasks outlined in several
presidential decrees, including the 2016 decree on
establishing the Alisher Navoiy University of the Uzbek
Language and Literature, the 2017 Development
Strategy of Uzbekistan, the 2019 decree on promoting

the Uzbek language, and the 2020 decree on improving
language policy. It also supports the objectives of the
2023 decision to celebrate the 34th anniversary of the
adoption of the law on the state language.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Although articles about Abdurauf Fitrat’s creati
ve,
educational, and pedagogical activities were written
during his lifetime, his legacy has gained more
attention since independence. Notable studies include
works by B. Qosimov [3:7], A. Aliyev, Sh. Rizaev [4:38],
and S. Avazov. However, there has been limited
research on the linguistic characteristics of Fitrat’s
literary works, with only a few exceptions, such as
those by H. Boltaboyev [5:5-11]. These studies highlight
the general linguistic features of his works, their lexical
structure, and their contribution to the formation of
early 20th-century Uzbek literary language.
This article focuses on the vocabulary of Fitrat’s
publicistic works, identifying their distinct lexical and
semantic features.
ANALYSIS AND RESULTS
The early 20th-century Uzbek literary language was
characterized by complexity and variation, influenced
by social, temporal, and regional factors. Fitrat’s
articles exemplify the interplay of these linguistic and
non-linguistic factors, reflecting both the stability and
fluidity of language norms during the period:
•
“The wise and scholars have strived to develop
rules for household management, known as ‘manzil
tadbiri’ (domestic management)” [4:215].
Fitrat’s language reflects themes of enlightenment,
patriotism, and social responsibility. For example:
•
“Wherever family relations are based on
discipline and order, the nation thrives. When disorder
undermines family values, the nation’s well
-being and
future are at risk” [4:215].
•
“We often show more sympathy for animals
than for women, who endure constant humiliation. We
neglect the suffering of our women” [5:240].
Fitrat also emphasizes the need for introspection and
self-improvement:
•
“Examine your moral, intellectual, and physical
state with the measure of reason and wisdom” [5:264].
The emotional and pragmatic aspects of Fitrat’s
language enhance his articles’ impact, employing
expressive vocabulary and figurative language to
convey profound ideas. His use of synonyms,
antonyms, and symbolic words further enriches the
text:
•
“Words l
ike wishes, desires, hopes, and needs
reflect the depth of a person’s aspirations” [5:12].
•
“In poetry, placing a word appropriately can
elevate the meaning from earth to sky” [5:2].

Fitrat’s creative use of language also includes
introducing new terms and expressions:
•
“The German general Fundurgorevich made
observations about the Ottoman army” [5:10].
His linguistic efforts played a pivotal role in the
formation of the new Uzbek literary language, bridging
tradition and modernity.
CONCLUSION
The
examples provided demonstrate that Fitrat’s
linguistic views significantly contributed to shaping the
Uzbek literary language of the late 19th and early 20th
centuries. His publicistic style
—
marked by logical
argumentation, vivid expression, and appropriate use
of linguistic units
—
helped establish linguistic norms
for the emerging literary language. Fitrat’s linguistic
contributions reflect his deep understanding of
language’s power to shape thought, inspire change,
and foster national identity.
