Abstract.
In this scientific work, the general characteristics of ideographic
dictionaries and the problems that may be encountered in their creation are
discussed. The importance of ideographic dictionaries and their place in the
educational system is also presented. Also, what kind features should be taken into
account when creating them is also sufficiently revealed.
Key words:

process, topic, subjectivism
Introduction
. Ideographic dictionaries are among the leading directions in
language learning. Also, in recent years, linguistic dictionaries have been
published to study different levels of the Uzbek language. However, although the
thesaurus, analogical, and associative types of ideographic vocabulary exist in
various languages, the lack of creation of such dictionaries in Uzbek made it
necessary to create theories in this direction. At the same time, it should be noted
that the issue of creating an ideographic dictionary in the Uzbek language is one of
the most urgent tasks, and a number of studies have been conducted in this
regard.
Based on a number of other studies, creating an ideographic dictionary of the
Uzbek language is one of today's urgent tasks. In our opinion, the effective and
consistent use of ideographic dictionaries in the educational process, firstly,
increases the effectiveness of teaching, and secondly, increases the interest of
young people in language learning and ensures the quality of language learning.
Applying ideographic dictionaries to the educational process in secondary-
special vocational training institutions increases the effectiveness of comparative
learning of Uzbek and foreign languages. In particular, the use of such dictionaries
in the educational system encourages students to think independently, to learn new
words, to search, to develop their oral and written speech, and to form the skills of
holistic perception of the world.
Based on this, it can be said that the creation of Uzbek-English-Russian
ideographic dictionaries for students of general secondary schools and the
development of its theoretical and practical foundations are among the scientific
54
issues related to the creation of the ideographic dictionary of the Uzbek
language. After all, "We, as the heirs of the priceless wealth passed down from our
ancestors to our generations, must preserve our mother tongue, enrich it, and
constantly work on increasing its prestige." Especially in fundamental sciences,
modern communication and information technologies, banking and financial
system, expanding the range of use of our native language, publishing etymological
and comparative dictionaries, developing necessary terms and phrases, concepts
and categories, in a word, Uzbek language comprehensive development on a
scientific basis will undoubtedly serve the noble goals of realizing the national
identity and sense of the Motherland"
An ideographic dictionary named "English-Uzbek-Russian thematic visual
dictionary" was created as a practical application of the requirements for learning
foreign languages.
This pictorial dictionary is designed for English language learners and can be
used by everyone, as it contains more than 3000 words and phrases in 35 topics
related to all fields of activity. Grouping words by topic allows the reader to find and
use them quickly and easily, since it takes a lot of time to find the right word in the
dictionaries given in alphabetical order. An example of this is the multi-meaning of
English words and the difficulty of selecting them for a given speech situation and
topic. Speech communication is usually conducted on the basis of certain
topics. So, the gathering of words on certain topics passes the preparatory stage
for communication on this topic.
The role, importance and value of the thematic visual dictionaries in language
learning is that not only reading comprehension, but also the participation of visual
and perceptual senses in it helps the student to quickly learn the meaning of such
words and their appropriate use in the speech situation.
This dictionary will help students to increase their vocabulary on certain topics
in a foreign language, to form speech skills and competencies specific to this topic,
and to conduct communication. It helps to prepare oral or written information and
to form and develop speaking skills and competences in English, if you use them in
the process of learning words on a certain topic.
At the same time, the subjectivism of dictionaries can also have positive
aspects. It is possible to study the features and principles of the linguistic
landscape of the world by comparing different dictionaries. For example, by
comparing with synoptic drawings, it is possible to draw a conclusion about the
human appearance and its dependence on national-cultural characteristics,
worldview, and find some peculiarities in these proportions. As an example, the
scientific research works of Yu.N. Karaulov and I.M. Kobzeva can be cited. In
55
addition, the linguistic landscape of a particular nation can be observed in the
diachronic way of studying dictionaries of different historical periods.
Using multiple dictionaries at the same time can increase research efficiency.
As a result, the level of subjectivity decreases and the size of the word under
consideration expands. The connections between individual words and entire
lexical-semantic fields are more obvious. The difference between the construction
of these dictionaries allows us to consider problems that have been overlooked.
The simultaneous use of vocabularies specific to different languages allows
us to draw conclusions about the features of the linguistic landscape of the world
that are unique to each language, about human thinking in general, and about the
uniqueness of individual languages. This use of ideographic dictionaries
undoubtedly provides new ways of enriching and developing universality in
linguistics with new materials.
In connection with the active development of ideography and the emergence
of many ideographic dictionaries, it is necessary to define the main features
presented by them. Ideographic dictionaries can be easily used both in theoretical
studies and in practical activities.
Conclusion
. In order for everyone of today's age to learn a profession, first of
all, he should be interested in it, secondly, he should have deep knowledge and
skills about this profession, and thirdly, he should fully master it both theoretically
and practically based on strong efforts. Only then will he become a qualified
specialist who can meet the requirements of today's intense era. Whether we like it
or not, the issue of language learning continues to gain decisive importance. In this
sense, it can be said that Uzbek-English-Russian ideographic dictionaries do not
lose their methodological importance even in the process of choosing a profession
and mastering it.
