Both theoretical viewpoints and real-world examples are used to create a comparative study.

This academic article is dedicated to a comparative-typological analysis of the works of two authors from different national literatures and literary movements: Jack London and Utkir Hoshimov. The research examines Jack London's work within the context of American Naturalism and Utkir Hoshimov's prose within the context of Uzbek psychological realism. The primary objective of the article is to reveal the fundamental differences and typological commonalities in the artistic interpretation of the human condition, the nature of conflict, the protagonist type, and the role of the environment within these two distinct literary-philosophical systems.London's work is predominantly external (man vs. nature/society) and deterministic (influenced by heredity and environment), whereas in Hoshimov's prose, the conflict is internal (man vs. his conscience) and based on moral choice.

Navoi made significant contributions to all genres of poetry in the literature of the Sharq. He brought a new spirit, meaning, and content to them. His innovations in the field of ghazal writing are of great importance. It is known that in the period before Navoi, the leading theme that was prominent in Uzbek ghazal writing was the theme of love. In general, the definitions given to ghazals in the scientific literature of that period talk about the fact that this genre was mainly on a romantic theme and that they depicted the relationship between the lover and the beloved. In addition, the images of the rind and the arif gradually began to appear in Uzbek ghazal writing. Persian-Tajik ghazal writing had achieved considerable success in this regard, and the images of three main lyrical heroes - the lover, the rind, and the arif - were prominent in it. It is precisely these qualities that permeated the work of Babur that is a separate topic.

This article undertakes an extensive philosophical exploration of William Blake's multifaceted concept of imagination, arguing that for Blake, imagination transcends mere fantasy or artistic faculty to represent the very essence of divine vision, ultimate reality, and the indispensable means for human liberation and spiritual reintegration. Contrasting Blake's "visionary imagination" with the prevailing empirical and rationalistic epistemologies of his era, particularly those profoundly influenced by figures such as John Locke and Isaac Newton, we meticulously analyze how he posits imagination as the primary and most authentic mode of knowing eternal truths and engaging directly with the divine. The study delineates imagination's critical and transformative role as the preeminent creative force in both art and prophecy, a divinely ordained pathway to realizing the "Human Form Divine," and a revolutionary tool against pervasive societal oppression and spiritual alienation. By synthesizing exhaustive insights from Blake's rich and complex poetic and prophetic works, along with key critical interpretations from leading Blakean scholars, this paper illuminates the profound and far-reaching epistemological, ontological, and ethical implications of Blake's imaginative philosophy, asserting its enduring and critical relevance in contemporary thought and its capacity to offer alternatives to modern paradigms.

This article explores the role of children's print media in addressing linguocultural issues in foreign language education in Uzbekistan. By analyzing selected issues of Gulxan and G‘uncha magazines published between 2020 and 2024, the study reveals how these traditional publications integrate cultural narratives and basic English language content in a pedagogically meaningful way. The research employs a qualitative content analysis method grounded in linguoculturological theory. Findings indicate that the magazines support language acquisition by combining familiar cultural contexts with accessible language tasks, bilingual texts, and visual aids. Moreover, these materials help foster intercultural awareness and preserve national identity. The study concludes that children’s magazines, despite being traditional forms of media, remain valuable tools in early foreign language education when designed with cultural and linguistic sensitivity.

This article is dedicated to the lexical-semantic comparative analysis of headwear vocabulary in the Uzbek and Karakalpak languages. The study aims to examine the etymological origins, semantic transformations, and cultural contexts of headwear-related terms in both languages, identifying their shared and distinct characteristics. The analysis focuses on the lexical-semantic features of terms such as “saukele” and “do‘ppi,” as well as their historical and contemporary usage differences. The article seeks to illuminate the linguistic and cultural interconnections between the Uzbek and Karakalpak peoples.

This article explores the concept of postmemory and its manifestation in Colum McCann’s novel Let the Great World Spin, with a particular focus on the character of Gloria. Drawing on the theoretical frameworks of Marianne Hirsch and Cathy Caruth, the study examines how traumatic experiences—specifically those related to slavery and racial discrimination—are transmitted across generations not through direct recollection, but through everyday practices, family culture, and societal cues. While Gloria’s mother conveys the trauma of slavery unconsciously, Gloria receives and processes this inherited memory within a context shaped by social change and historical awareness. The article also considers how Gloria’s academic and personal achievements reflect both resilience and the continuing presence of trauma, illustrating the complexity of postmemory in relation to race, gender, and identity. Despite Gloria’s conscious engagement with her past, the lasting effects of trauma persist, revealing the enduring nature of historical wounds.

This article examines Colum McCann’s TransAtlantic through the theoretical frameworks of Fredric Jameson and Hayden White, focusing on how historical narrative is constructed, ideologically coded, and symbolically charged within a postmodern literary context. By applying Jameson’s model of the three interpretive horizons, historical, social, and political, the study explores the novel’s fragmentary structure, the role of ideological subtexts, and the symbolic function of narrative form. The analysis demonstrates how McCann’s depiction of real and fictional figures across different time periods generates a transhistorical dialogue, in which the metaphor of the “transatlantic” serves as a narrative and conceptual connector. White’s theories of emplotment and tropology further reveal how historical events are aestheticized and reframed within fictional discourse. Ultimately, the article argues that TransAtlantic enacts a complex negotiation between history and fiction, offering a multilayered reflection on memory, identity, and the representational challenges of narrating the past.

This article provides a detailed analysis and interpretation of the plot of the novel "Imam Maturidi" by the Uzbek writer Lukman Borikhan and the image of the main character in it - Abu Mansur Maturidi. In this work, the writer used a retrospective type of plot to describe the events of the past.

In order to artistically depict the image of a historical figure, the plot of the novel is composed of a prologue, three main parts and an ending. The structure of the work's architecture thus serves to depict the image of Maturidi without departing from its historical basis.

This article explores the lexical-semantic features of Arabic-derived medical units found in Abu Ali Ibn Sina’s Canon of Medicine. It analyzes how these terms entered the Uzbek language, their semantic transformation, instances of polysemy and homonymy, and their usage in both modern medical language and colloquial speech. The analysis focuses on historically significant terms such as dabba, xafaqon, and moxov, examining their medical and stylistic characteristics, meanings in explanatory dictionaries, and functions in artistic and spoken discourse.

This work is devoted to the problem of secondary naming (synonymous and alternative terms) in viticulture. The study analyzes the fact that the same grape varieties, diseases or agrotechnical processes are called by different names in different regions, which leads to uncertainties in scientific and practical aspects. The main reasons for secondary naming are explained by oral traditions, historical terms, language and dialect differences, and the lack of a single standard in scientific naming. Also, the need to create a single terminological system based on international standards is justified as a solution to this problem. The work highlights the relevance of forming a single term base to reduce secondary naming, correctly identify grape varieties, and simplify scientific communication.

The concept of «labour» in the English linguistic picture of the world embodies a multifaceted notion deeply embedded in cultural, social, and economic contexts. This study explores how the English language conceptualizes «labour» beyond its mere denotation of physical or mental work, reflecting broader ideologies and attitudes towards work, productivity, and human effort. Through an analysis of semantic fields, metaphorical expressions the research reveals how “labour” is framed as both a necessary human activity and a social value that intersects with identity, class, and economic structures. The English linguistic system encodes labour not only as an action but also as a social institution, encompassing concepts such as labour rights, exploitation, and labour markets. The conceptualization is dynamic, influenced by historical developments like industrialization and contemporary shifts such as the gig economy. By examining lexical choices and pragmatic usages, the study highlights how the English language constructs a worldview where labour is central to individual purpose and societal progress. This conceptual framework affects perceptions of labour’s dignity, burden, and reward, shaping communicative practices and social policies. Ultimately, understanding the linguistic conceptualization of labour in English offers insights into how language reflects and shapes human experience and social reality.

“Divan lughat at turk” is important in the study of the Turkic tribes and their language feuteres in the 11th century. As known, the main part of the language facts of the written monuments of the 11th century is stable in the current Uzbek language and Uzbek folk dialects. For this reason, in this article some “Divan” words preserved in the speech of dialect representatives were analyzed, their meaning changes were determined. The spiritual closeness of some given examples with the words in the lexicon of the work, their change over time was based on etymological dictionaries.

This article presents observations on the teaching of the Uzbek language in schools where education is conducted in Tajik and on issues of a second language in a Tajik-Uzbek bilingual environment through world experience.

This article analyzes the theoretical foundations, historical formation, current practical approaches and prospects of describing literary sources.

This article investigates the role of neologisms in W.Gibson’s “Sprawl trilogy” (Neuromancer, Count Zero, Mona Lisa Overdrive) as a core linguistic and narrative device for representing technological transformation. Using methods of discourse analysis, semantic interpretation, and semiotic textual analysis, the study examines how neologisms construct alternative realities and mediate posthumanist themes. The research draws on close reading of key neological units in order to evaluate their narrative function, philosophical implications, and cultural symbolism. The findings suggest that Gibson’s neologisms go beyond mere lexical innovation. They generate immersive techno-cultural environments that frame human-machine interactions, identity fragmentation, and the virtualization of reality. These terms do not simply describe futuristic concepts, but actively shape them by establishing new cognitive and semiotic frameworks. The study shows that neologisms in W.Gibson’s fiction serve as instruments of world-building, tools of social critique, and markers of linguistic futurism. Ultimately, the research concludes that neologisms in the Sprawl Trilogy function as a powerful semiotic interface between language, technology, and culture, enabling the articulation of speculative epistemologies and ontologies. Gibson’s use of language exemplifies how science fiction can anticipate and conceptually model the socio-technological dynamics of a posthuman future.

This article highlights some views on the study of occasionalisms in linguistics, as well as real names in the onomastic system of language and occasional names created by creators, their features and differences.

This paper explores the theme of revenge in Ahmed Saadawi’s novel Frankenstein in Baghdad and its implications from a postcolonial perspective. Saadawi’s narrative tackles the consequences of revenge within a colonized society struggling with identity reconstruction. Revenge is not portrayed as a liberating and just act but rather as a vicious and futile cycle that only produces more oppression, darkness, and loss. Saadawi intertwines the notions of colonizer, colonized, oppression, and revenge to highlight how the oppressed can become oppressors in turn, and thus the cycle continues. Ultimately, Saadawi seems to warn against revenge in a postcolonial context, on both individual and national levels, as it only reproduces the colonial trauma. Frankenstein in Baghdad is situated within a discourse on trauma and (national) identity, and thus its postcoloniality extends also to notions of identity. In a contemporary landscape troubled by questions of identity and agency, Frankenstein in Baghdad is a highly relevant and necessary text.    Ahmed Saadawi’s Frankenstein in Baghdad presents a narrative in which construction becomes creation, and creation becomes a monster. Hadi, the protagonist, stitches together dead body parts collected from the streets of post-war Baghdad, hoping to give the victims a kind of life after death. Instead, this new creature, dubbed Whatsitsname, takes vengeance on those responsible for his parts’ deaths, leading the narrative into a horror story. On a closer reading, Whatsitsname’s quest for revenge intertwines with the other characters’ narratives, who also become monsters after seeking vengeance. The narrative expresses a concern with the consequences of revenge but knows a complexity of the necessity of revenge.

The present study critically aims at highlighting the emotional blackmailers’ social power in the genre of songs. The qualitative and quantative methods are adopted so as to analyze three songs; namely, Don’t Leave Me, If You Leave Me, I’ll… and Stay With Me. The findings prove that the tantalizer and the sufferer types of emotional blackmails are frequently employed to arrive at the percentages (60%) and (40%) respectively, whereas the pressure and the demand elements of emotional blackmails are mostly with the percentages (40%) and (30%) respectively. The main conclusion is that the tantalizer type and the pressure element are appropriate types to achieve emotional blackmails.

Metaphor plays a crucial role in communication by enriching language, making it more expressive and impactful. It helps convey complex ideas in a way that is easier to understand and relate to, creating deeper connections between concepts. In literature and creative writing, metaphors enhance imagery and emotional depth, making texts more engaging and memorable. They also serve as a tool for shaping thought and perception, influencing how people interpret and interact with the world around them. In this article the first book in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, is analysed according to the conceptual metaphors it contains. Drawing on the framework of Critical Metaphor Analysis, the research aims to uncover the deeper meanings behind these metaphors and to systematically identify their roles and functions within the novel.

This research investigates the interconnected themes of punishment, guilt, and forgiveness in the literary works of John Milton and Abdulla Oripov. Although they come from distinct cultural and historical backgrounds, both writers delve into these universal moral themes, employing poetic language to examine spiritual shortcomings, divine justice, and the concept of redemption. Through a comparative analysis of their literature, the study underscores how Milton’s theological principles and Oripov’s national-religious perspective reveal comparable moral structures, albeit articulated through different symbolic frameworks. The results indicate a transcultural dialogue concerning sin and salvation that enhances global literary comprehension.

The object of this research is the theory of speech acts as a key component of pragmatic linguistics. The article investigates the evolution and structure of speech act theory, tracing its development from the foundational ideas of J.L. Austin — particularly the distinction between locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts — to J.R. Searle’s refinements involving propositional content and felicity conditions. Central notions explored include illocutionary force, communicative intention, and the classification of speech acts based on their function and effect. The study further reviews the contributions of modern scholars such as D. Wunderlich, G.G. Pocheptsov, G. Leech, and others, who expanded the traditional categories by introducing additional types (e.g., erothetives, retractive acts, vocatives) and integrating sociopragmatic variables. By analyzing selected examples from Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, the article demonstrates how speech acts function within literary discourse and reflect broader communicative strategies. The practical relevance of speech act theory is emphasized through its application to both real-world and fictional interactions.

This article explores the specific challenges related to grammar that arise in the process of simultaneous interpreting. It highlights how grammatical complexities—such as syntactic structures, verb tenses, agreement, and sentence construction—can hinder the interpreter's ability to produce accurate and coherent translations in real-time. The article emphasizes that grammatical difficulties may lead to misinterpretations, omissions, or delays, thereby impacting communication effectiveness.

This article examines the argumentative and descriptive discourse types, as well as similes, in Alisher Navoi’s “Hayrat ul-Abror” and their linguocultural characteristics. The study draws on contemporary linguistic fields, such as cognitive linguistics and linguoculturology, employing qualitative analysis of the epic’s texts. Findings indicate that discourse types bridge Sufi ideas and Uzbek culture, while similes enrich poetic imagery. The discussion evaluates the significance of these elements in literary and linguistic contexts. The research contributes to Uzbek literary studies and linguistics.
