Abstract:
The article provides information on the study of anthroponyms and nicknames in the linguistic landscape
of the world in Uzbek linguistics, scientific works related to the term linguistic landscape of the world.
Keywords:
Linguistic picture of the world, national linguistic picture of the world, anthroponyms, nicknames.
Introduction:
In recent years, various terms and
directions have been formed in world linguistics,
including in Uzbek linguistics. Just as no human being
on Earth replicates each other, no language, no people,
no nation's values are alike. Every nation has its own
language and values, expressing its nationality.
Language is not only a social phenomenon, but also a
means of expressing the culture of a people. It exists
both as a cultural and natural phenomenon. Language
is the spirit of a nation. Abdulla Avloni, a prominent
representative of Jadid literature, did not say in vain:
"To lose the national language is to lose the spirit of the
nation." [1.60]
All languages in the world have a unique worldview.
Every linguistic person is obliged to construct the
content of expressions based on this landscape.
Language plays a key role in the emergence and
formation of a person's views on the world. The totality
of knowledge arising in linguistic forms is called the
linguistic picture of the world.
The concept of the linguistic picture of the world is
created on the basis of the study of human perceptions
of the world. If the world is a person and an
environment in interaction, then the picture of the
world is the result of processing information about man
and the environment.[2.64] The concept of "linguistic
picture of the world" was first introduced to linguistics
by J.L. Weisgerber. To express the concept more
clearly, he cites the following thoughts: "language gives
its owner a general way of seeing the world different
from other languages," "the native language and the
spiritual formation of each person are closely
interconnected, therefore linguistics should study
languages as a mirror of the culture of peoples." Every
language on Earth constitutes a linguistic landscape.
Because people communicating in different languages
think within the framework of their native language.
They form the linguistic landscape of their language.
The more languages there are, the more national
linguistic landscapes of the world there are, each of
which reflects the unique results of the centuries-old
activity of collective ethnic consciousness in
understanding and categorizing human existence in the
Universe. [4.140]
Uzbek linguists and scholars such as N.Mahmudov,
D.Khudayberganova,
F.Usmanov,
Z.Mukimova,
S.Ikramova sufficiently expressed the term "linguistic
landscape of the world." In particular, in the works of
Professor Nizomiddin Makhmudov "Linguistic Picture
of the World and Word Acquisition," "Language of
Science and Language Science," the terms "linguistic
picture of the world," "national linguistic picture of the
world" are defined broadly and comparatively.
The worldview created in human consciousness,
naturally, is not a completely stable, unchanging
structure; it can change and improve in connection
with the development of thinking, the development of
society, scientific achievements, and the improvement
of methods of cognition. [5.138] The linguistic
landscape of the world is directly reflected in the
national linguistic landscape of the world, the
connection between man and culture, culture and man.

Therefore, the term linguistic picture of the world
belongs to anthropocentric linguistics. That is, he
researches each material, placing a person at the
center.
The Uzbek nation is rich in values and traditions. When
a baby is born in the family, the process of naming it is
entrusted to the elderly of the dynasty. This situation
has also reached the level of tradition. In the names
that representatives of each nation have, the
nationality inherent in this nation is reflected. The
scientist who made a great contribution to the science
of nomenclature in Uzbek linguistics is undoubtedly
Ernest Begmatov. The scientist has published several
works related to anthroponyms and their types. It
should be especially noted that the first treatise
explaining the meanings of Uzbek names in a popular
way was created by Ya. Menazhiev and Kh. Azamatov.
[11] Names given to a child primarily emdiv hope,
parental dreams, and intentions. This name is formed
directly from the national traditions, culture, and
customs of the nationality of the person giving the
name.
The study of anthroponyms and nicknames in the
national linguistic landscape of the world is important
for our linguistics today. To date, there are many
scholars
who
have
conducted
research
on
anthroponyms and nicknames as a subject of research
in the national linguistic landscape of the world. Among
them, N. Khalilova studied historical anthroponyms and
nicknames from a linguocultural and sociolinguistic
point of view on the topic "Sociolinguistic and
Linguocultural Study of Anthroponyms in Sources on
the History of the Kokand Khanate." The work
thoroughly examines the names and nicknames of the
Kokand Khanate from a social and cultural point of
view.
Collecting anthroponyms and nicknames related to a
particular region, as well as their research, is a rather
laborious process. In world linguistics, personal names
and nicknames given to them as second names have
served as objects for many scientific works. The branch
of linguistics that studies ims is called onomastics. The
process of studying the problems of onomastics has
been quite developed in Uzbek linguistics since the
1960s. Not only personal names, but also place names,
names of animals, water structures, plants, and all
other names related to nomenclature have become the
subject of research.
In the study of names in the national linguistic
landscape of the world, the cultural roots, customs, and
cultural values of the Uzbek nation are of great
importance. Linguocultural study of anthroponyms and
nicknames in the language of a particular people or
territory serves to reveal the culture of the people living
in that territory. It is easier to know the character of a
nation by its language than by its morals, customs, and
behavior. [12.167]
The main function of names given to people and things
is to distinguish things and people from each other.
Naming an object, thing, or phenomenon in isolation
began to spread to everything that life demanded, and
the number of names, now known as proper nouns,
increased. [13.8] At the same time, in addition to
personal names, people were given additional names
to further clarify their identity. These second names are
nicknames given based on a characteristic or feature
present in a person. Personal names and nicknames
have unique characteristics that differ from each other.
A nickname reflects the positive and negative aspects
of a person's appearance, character, and speech.
Sometimes we encounter nicknames named after their
profession, nationality, and clan. In names, cases of
relying on such signs and characteristics are rare, and
sometimes not encountered at all.
Today, in some regions, giving nicknames is considered
shameful. But in the Khorezm region, almost every
family has a nickname. Nicknames, like names, are the
inner wealth of our language. Nicknames are especially
widely used in fiction to reveal the character of
characters. The writer, who appropriately uses
nicknames, does not use unnecessary words and
figurative expressions when describing the personality
of the hero. In Tohir Malik's work "Shaytanat," the
author calls the main character - Asadbek - an arrow
snake. This directly imbues the image with the
characteristics of an arrow snake. Nicknames are also
very common in folklore works and fairy tales. The main
purpose of this is to exaggerate some character and
features of the heroes of epics and fairy tales. As a
result, this image is imprinted in the reader's memory
with this feature or nickname. Based on the above
information, we have proven the necessity of studying
anthroponyms and nicknames in the national linguistic
landscape of the world. Nicknames and names, like
other units, are the national treasure of our linguistics.
There are a number of unresolved issues related to the
study of anthroponyms. In conclusion, we can
emphasize that the issues of nomenclature of the
Uzbek language are one of the issues that have been
studied and continue to be studied today.
