Abstract:
Literary works are also an invaluable resource
from the point of view of linguistics. In particular,
historical works show a wide range of linguistic units
that represent the speech of people who lived in a
certain period, their social status, position in
communication, cultural thinking, religious views and
living environment. Such aspects are particularly
prominent in Abdullah Qadiri's nove
l “Days Gone By”. In
the work, the analysis of linguistic communities, formed
by differences in the language of representatives of
different layers, their style of speech, their position in
communication, reveals the socio-linguistic essence of
the work. A linguistic community is a complex of
language owners who are monolingual, engaging in
interaction and formed in a specific socio-cultural
context. Each language user is a representative of a
particular society, and his speech is differentiated
through aspects such as social status, profession,
gender, living environment, beliefs.
Introduction:
Representatives of the linguistic
community are united by the following factors: a
common language or dialect, the same culture of
speech, uniform rules in the use of language tools and
their expression in social status. Language is not only a
means of communication, but also a tool that
determines and reflects the hierarchy within society.
And in fiction, the linguistic community is reflected in
the language of artistic images, in their interaction and
in social networks. This is how the manifestations of the
linguistic community are manifested in the work” days
gone by": the events of the novel are based on the
events of Turkestan of the late 19th
–
early 20th
centuries. The following main linguistic communities are
distinguished in the work: the differences in the
language of representatives of different strata who lived

during this period
—
merchant, Mullah, bek, common
people, women and young intellectuals-are clearly
noticeable in the work. Through the language styles
found in the work, the following linguistic communities
are distinguished: Representatives of the religious and
legal community
—
Ulama, mullahs, Kazakhs. Their
speech contains Arabic-Persian religious terminology,
quotes from the Qur'an and Hadith, constant prayer
phrases: “it is not permissible for Sharia to be a work
without fail,” says mulla Obid. Complex syntactic
devices in the language of this stratum, phraseology
and richness in terms indicate their religious level.
Merchants and craftsmen
—
in this layer, folk
language, proverbs and sayings, folk tone prevails. In
the image of Hasanali, this is seen a lot:” Trade is the
bone of goods, " he says a lot. This shows their
dependence on economic life and practical orientation
in speech. In their speech, folk phrases, Proverbs,
aspects inherent in the oral variant of the Uzbek
language are prominent:“where there is no money,
there is also no respect”,“a stingy one who does not
have patience in co
mmerce eats”. Representatives of
this layer speak in a close-to-life, realistic and practical
colloquial style. They express their experience and
social position through language. Representatives of
intellectual youth (Otabek)
—
in this group, renewal,
National Awakening and modernization are reflected
through language. In the speech of Otabek, the folk
language is felt, but a simple and thoughtful tone. They
use the language of the people and at the same time
harmonize a concise and modern tone in the
expr
ession of thought: “if we do not wake up this land,
the future generation will not forgive us”,“the opening
of schools is the awakening of the nation”.[3] through
the speech of the representatives of this group,
Abdullah Qadiri reflects the spirit of jadidism of his
time. Otabek's speech expresses precisely the ideas of
the national awakening through the medium of
language. Through images such as the women's
community
—
Comila, Zainab, silver-there are more
inner experiences, volition or other expressive forms in
the women's language. Silver's speech, on the other
hand, sometimes reflects sincerity among women, and
sometimes social inequality: “I agreed with you, but
there is a barrier to our happiness,” says Silver
Otabekka. In the work, the language of women is
softer, more empathetic towards the language of men.
In silver's speech, sincerity, loyalty and caution are felt.
"Otabek, I'm ready for everything for you.” “If you
agree, I agree.”[4] In the language of representatives
of this group, social inequality, the influence of
patriarchal society is also felt. Zainab, on the other
hand, displays a speech style full of competition, envy,
cunning mysteries.
Abdullah Qadiri's "past days" is a work of high fiction
written using the richness of the Uzbek language, the
colloquial differences of social strata and differences
between different linguistic communities. In the work,
language served not only as a means of creating images,
but also as a means of showing the social structure of
society. Through the speech of a representative of each
layer, their worldview, mental state, place in society and
originality of the historical period are reflected. In this
respect, the novel serves as an important resource in
the study of the linguistic community. Through the
analysis of the linguistic community in the work, the
reader becomes aware of the layers in the social life of
the Uzbek people, their speech characteristics and the
place of language in society. This novel is of great
importance not only as a literary work, but also as a
linguistic-cultural resource. Therefore, the linguistic
analysis of the work is important not only for linguistics,
but also for Cultural Studies.
