ABSTRACT
The importance of studying socio-political vocabulary in the sociolinguistic aspect is explained by the fact that not a
single serious issue can be considered without taking into account universal values. After all, culture is considered an
integral part of the socio-political foundation, which includes traditions, national heritage, geographic and political
factors, historically established social and ethnic structure, and religious beliefs. The main task of socio-political
vocabulary in the formation of a journalistic text is a factor that provides public coverage of political culture, society,
and the political process. They reflect models of political behavior, ideas, and systems of relations formed based on
nationality, historically formed, and based on the experience of people, nations, and traditions.
KEYWORDS
National heritage, mass information, media linguistics, stylistics, journalistic text, press, speech, sociolinguistics.
INTRODUCTION
As a result of reforms aimed at specific goals in various
spheres of society's life in the world, the changes
occurring in national languages will be reflected in the
language. Of course, the media language is one of the
brightest indicators of these social changes. After all,
the language of mass media reflects the changes in
speech activity in all areas. The great linguist V. von
Humboldt said that "...language influences the

formation of the value system. This function of
language is characteristic of all languages.
Every national language has its own spiritual and
spiritual image of the people who are considered to be
the language's owners. The speakers have a certain
national character and mentality because they are
members of the same linguistic community. The
influence of mass communication on language is not
direct and one-sided. This effect occurs against the
background of and with the participation of general
processes occurring in the language. Today, the
language of the mass media has become one of the
most striking indicators of changes in speech, in which
the language is significantly concentrated. In this
process, several reasons of political, socio-economic,
and cultural nature, mass media and journalism itself
play an important role. It can be seen that the concept
of mass media has changed and expanded during the
process of changes in recent decades, before that
during the technological revolution
1
.
Indeed, the enrichment of the modern language and
changes in the language are broadcast for the first time
through the media. In media texts, especially in
specialized texts, through the frequent use of sectoral

lexis, it is assimilated into the public mind (regardless
of the age, gender, or social background of this
audience). A.B. Bushuev believes that "the mass media
works for its audience, and the ideal language of
certain mass media should correspond to the language
of the target audience." New words are a direct
reflection of the globalization process. As the most
important aspect of the media language, it should be
emphasized that the modern language is enriched
through the media, as the mass media is intended for
different audiences, so the first criterion in the
formation of the media text is the selection of
acceptable and understandable words for everyone
2
.
Based on this, media workers have a very responsible
task in transmitting information through text. After all,
"Mass communication can be safely called a new
linguistic reality, which can be explained by the fact
that it is located in the center of modern language
processes and is considered as a model of a modern
national language.
The reason for the formation of a new paradigm of
media-linguistics is that it is aimed at the study of a
large number of connections and functions of the
media language because any system will receive a

more complete description only when its functions are
determined. At the same time, characterizing the
language from different angles allows you to identify
new aspects of it. The journalistic style is certainly not
an exception. In this chapter, we will try to determine
the social position of the socio-political vocabulary in
the journalistic text. The concept of social status is to
determine the position of individuals in society, and it
includes characteristics such as age, gender, origin, and
occupation of individuals. Social status is the
connection of the roles occupied by certain people to
a certain social group. Social status is a phenomenon
directly related to language. After all, the speech of any
person is related to his position in society.
Sociolinguistics deals with the study of language in a
social context. As we noted above, sociolinguistics is a
complex field that uses the methods of linguistics,
sociology, and ethnography, and studies the social
nature and social function of language
3
.
It should be said that the language of the press, like the
language of other mass media, covers the whole life of
the nation, including political, social, and public
interest. Among the criteria that determine the
relevance of politics to the media is the participation of
the media in politics, in which the nature of the
participation determines the ideology. Ideas and
3

языков и его влиянии на духовное развитие человечества //
interests of social institutions are one of the forms of
the existence and functioning of politics. The mass
media not only covers politics but also takes an active
part in it and controls relations between the state and
society while forming public opinion on domestic and
foreign policy. Thus, the concepts of mass media and
politics are interrelated. On the one hand, mass media
is considered a tool for disseminating state ideas. The
role of language policy in the language of the press has
its aspects. The press informs the public about the
news, analyzes the reality, including social and political
topics, in one way or another, in a more or less specific
way, describes the events covered, gives an attitude,
and gives a social evaluation. It is known that politics
has its place in language activity. It is in the press, that
is, through the journalistic method, that the political
vocabulary expressing the leading, most relevant ideas
and goals of the era is activated.
It is in the press that the use of new concepts is
observed: active negotiation, level of activity, illegal
activity,
authorization,
organizational-legal,
procedures, mandatory execution, political process,
open policy, counter-terror, etc. As mentioned above,
a publicist is considered a major field, and this feature
is determined by the fact that it covers official, political,
social scientific, etc. topics in this style. The discourse

structure in the journalistic text also depends on the
proportion of language units containing conceptual
words and evaluation meanings. The tendency to social
evaluation is one of the main features of press texts.
The language of the newspaper, by its nature, is not
just a description of objects and events but is aimed at
giving some kind of assessment and reaction to them
on behalf of a social group, stratum, or society. This
regularity has existed since the first newspapers-
magazines appeared and has been determining the
semantic development of its vocabulary
4
. Evaluation
from the social point of view requires the selection of
the necessary words from the general literary language
and other sources, the press expands the vocabulary
(for example, as a result of democratization), and
determines the general stylistic features of lexical
units. The press covers several genres, such as news,
news, reports, analysis, editorials, articles, essays,
feuilletons,
pamphlets,
announcements,
and
advertisements. It is the breadth of the scope that
requires language units to be standardized in each
genre in the press
5
. At this point, there is an
opportunity to talk about the general aspects of
moderation. As the modern press language is a

агрессии: учеб. пособие. М.: Флинта: Наука, 2011. 160 с. -

complex literary product, its impact on the literary
language can be positively evaluated.
In general, the creation of press texts is characterized
as journalistic discourse and is created following
communicative,
methodological,
and
linguistic
standards. A. Mamatov shows that two theories
complement and strengthen each other in terms of
defining the concept of the norm in modern linguistics:
the first theory is considered as the laws that regulate
the use of language tools, while the second theory
considers the norm to be strengthened by the general
public, stable and traditional application of language
tools. is the sum. Indeed, the life of the language is
changing. Its norms are constantly changing, albeit
slowly (lexical norms change more often than
pronunciation or grammatical norms). The fact that a
media worker often refers to such auxiliary literature is
important in strengthening and promoting the
traditions of the literary language. The need for
persuasion, which forms the basis of a pragmatic
approach in the process of creating a journalistic text
based on an analytical genre in the coverage of political
topics, requires the inclusion of the necessary semantic
and additional stylistic reserves in the text. For
example, persuasion through assessment.

But it is necessary to pay special attention to one
aspect of the language of the press. It is known that
the participation of socio-political vocabulary in
journalistic text requires the use of the existing
vocabulary in the system of general literary language
norms. After all, socio-political dialogue is carried out in
official situations within this system
6
. It is known that
in the journalistic texts of Uzbek newspapers, the
principles of solidarity, friendship, and mutual respect
are followed within the framework of linguistic
standards of political communicative dialogue: "Hello,
dear compatriots! Dear deputies and senators!
Distinguished guests! Our dear Uzbekistan is boldly
stepping into a new era of national development. Huge
changes are taking place in all aspects of our lives.
Thank you very much, this year our population has
exceeded 36 million. About 900,000 new generations
join our ranks every year. We are relentlessly searching
for the creation of necessary conditions for each
member of the big and beautiful family called
Uzbekistan to live a peaceful and prosperous life..."
(Hurriyat. 12.21.2022) and others. Of course, all of the
above comments apply to socio-political publications.
Modern linguistic phenomena and priority situations
are reflected in them. When talking about the
newspaper-publicistic style, it should be said that its

formation and development are determined by two
main factors and two main tasks: on the one hand, it is
news and information, and on the other hand, it is
propaganda and propaganda. Effectiveness, which is
very necessary for conveying information in the
newspaper language, is an important necessity to
achieve and always adhere to the balance between
impact and presentation in a certain format. In the
coverage of social topics, cases of use in rhetorical
questions are observed: "Electoral code, what is its
special aspect?"; "WORK FOR SPEECH or why didn't we
look for a suitable platform to express our opinion?"
"Well, what are the legal norms and innovations
included in the Election Code signed by the President?
etc
7
. In journalistic style, adjective turns, alternating
use of conditional forms of verbs, rhetorical
questioning, rhetorical appeal, exclamation, and
activeness of one-clause sentences are characteristic
features of this style.
In the socio-political vocabulary, the use of commonly
used words is observed: acquaintances, openness,
step, rich, illat, trip, head, love, etc. Also, in the
introduction of the article, there are cases of using
rhetorical questions several times: "How reasonable is
it to compare a person riding a car with a surgeon
holding a knife in his hand on top of the operating

table? No, nothing but an exaggeration, you say?
Unfair, it takes years of study and experience to master
surgical science. The driving course only takes a few
months. But don't you try to compare the situation
related to the human factor in it, not the profession
itself?" (Justice. No. 18.2020); "Sometimes we hear a
rebuke from around us saying, 'Do you keep saying
that your tongue doesn't have a bone?' How about a
hand when there is no bone to stop you from saying
everything? Do we have bones in our hands? Today we
started to write our desired opinion through these
hands. Why can't the bones control the process of
translating the heart into writing? Bone is just a phrase,
an analogy, but in fact, our every action is controlled by
the brain-intelligence, as well as the heart-heart. But
why did our mind and heart allow us to finish every
sentence? (Adolat. No. 7.2020) etc. Social issues are
raised in both examples.
Based on the features and tasks of the newspaper
genre, it was determined that the use of interrogative
sentences in a journalistic article has its characteristics.
Such quizzes are aimed at the informational audience
and aim to increase their political knowledge. For
example, in "Adolat" newspaper "Which party
ideology suits you?" Right (conservative) or left
(progressive)?” Under the heading, the newspaper is

informed about the types of progressive or
conservative parties, and the fact that the article is
presented in the form of a question can be seen as a
unique visual tool, and it can be observed that the
answers to the question are fully covered in the article
for the reader's understanding: "Usually, political
parties are divided into types in the political field
according to their ideology. : economically left (left)
and right, socially progressive or conservative. In most
cases, an economically left-wing party is socially
progressive. An economically right-wing party will also
be socially conservative. Most of the time.
Conservative parties try to minimize state intervention
economically, reduce taxes, and accordingly cut public
services. That is, the population will pay fewer taxes,
but medicine and higher education will be paid. He
pays the money later, if he wants, to the doctor or the
school. Conservatives try to reduce regulations and
requirements for companies. For example, they do not
justify the concept of compulsory work leave.
According to the conservative ideology, such issues
should be decided by the companies themselves. Such
parties are loved by the rich because they have less
social pressure and more money

Socially conservative parties support the institution of
the family, are against abortion, do not like immigrants,

and do not try to make women equal to men in society.
Examples of conservative parties include the
Republican Party in the United States and the
Conservative Party in Canada. In general, the USA as a
country is a good example of right-wing ideology. Since
parties in Uzbekistan do not have a clear place on the
spectrum, I guess UzLiDeP is a conservative party
because it takes the side of entrepreneurs. Left parties
are the opposite of the above. They try to provide more
social equality by taking more taxes. The left regulates
the economy more, protects the rights of workers, and
tries to create equal conditions for all by making the
basic services in society: medicine and education free.
Socially, leftist parties promote inclusiveness. They
defend the rights of women, immigrants, and ethnic
and gender minorities. We can say that the
Scandinavian countries are ideal products of the leftist
ideology. The USSR also espoused a far-left ideology,
but it failed to create such a system. For example, in the
USSR, women were among the first in the world to
have the right to vote. Examples of left-wing parties
include the Democrats in the United States and the
Liberals in Canada. In Uzbekistan, the Social
Democratic Party "Adolat" can be an example of a left
party" (Adolat. 02.10.2019)

Political vocabulary adopted in the text of this
journalistic style: inclusion, immigrants, ethnic, ideal,
democratic, liberal, social democratic, regulation, etc.;
economic vocabularies such as entrepreneur, tax,
economic, and sectoral lexemes such as medicine and
education can be found. The presentation of elements
of conversational style in journalistic style increased
the effectiveness of the text: Such parties are loved by
the rich; He pays the money later, if he wants, to the
doctor or the school. Also, the use of phraseology: they
did not manage to create such a system; more money
stays with him. As we can see, even though the political
theme is covered, other stylistic elements are involved.
It is worth noting that the possibility of creating words
of the socio-political vocabulary in the journalistic style
is more productive than other functional styles: "We
are against low-quality and counterfeit medicines!
(Justice. 23.12.2022); ".... since the fall of last year, I had
to become a complainant, an applicant" (Adolat. No.
9.2020); "The dirty deeds of the bank employee were
finally exposed" (Adolat. No. 27.2019); "Tablet traders"
have been punished...or?; "However, electoral
legislation is such a field that it always requires
updating in line with the times" (Adolat. No. 27.2019);
"Adolat. 2021-03-22" directed to ensure the
implementation of priority tasks set in the pre-election
program "Justice for every person"; "It is worth noting

that the improvement of the election legislation, in
particular, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
the Fact on Civil and Political Rights, OSCE documents
on humanitarian criteria, including the Copenhagen
document of 1990, the Declaration of the Inter-
Parliamentary Union on Fair Elections and other
international legal documents" (Justice. 2021. No. 8);
"During the next six months of my life, more precisely,
from the autumn of last year, I had to become a
complainant, a petitioner" (Adolat. No. 9.2020); etc. In
journalistic articles, the use of the author "I" was
observed in socio-political articles. Of course, the
structure of the author "I" in journalism is a very
complicated process. In this, the author expresses his
opinions on political and social issues as a
representative of a certain social group and stratum.
For example, "Do you know what is the consequence
of putting lipstick on something, muteness? I know I
see, I feel. What about helplessness, how hard it is not
to be able to help a loved one while seeing him
suffering?.. This pain has been tormenting me for
years..." (Adolat. 2020. No. 6) and others. Also, within
the framework of the social topic, the article title is
formed in the form of an emphasis: "Freedom of
speech is not an excuse for spreading hostility in social
networks" (UzF.09.01.2023), etc. In this example, the
combination of freedom of speech and hostile mood is
a metaphor and is part of the political vocabulary. The
concept of freedom of speech is explained in the
dictionary as follows: one of the main personal and
political rights of a person; Currently, in most countries,
it is a component of the general right called "freedom
of information". Freedom of speech is seen as one of
the manifestations of democracy. Media activities are
based on freedom of speech. Conclusion. Thus, when a
publicist serves the political ideological education of
society, it is important how important the role of
information in social life is. After all, mass media are
entrusted with the most important tasks related to the
formation and development of social consciousness,
and the process of continuous improvement plays a
special role in their implementation. In the modern
journalistic style, the function of informing and
influencing prevails, and this is certainly evident in
social and political topics. Therefore, in functional
stylistics, special attention is paid to the sociolinguistic
aspect of journalistic and informative style-forming
factors of journalistic style. After all, there is a concept
of social norms in the research of press language.
