Ghazal (غزل) is an Arabic word meaning "to flatter women." When this lexeme became the nomeme of a lexical genre, it began to be used in relation to lyrical poems on the theme of love, written in the bahrs of the aruz meter. Over time, the content of this genre has expanded. Despite the fact that it differs from other classical lyrical genres in its specific features, among the people, this term has been transferred to the meaning of a general poem and song. While the first detailed definitions of the term ghazal were given by great word artists such as Shamsiddin Muhammad Qays ar-Razi and Rashiduddin Vatvot, Abdurahman Jami emphasizes that its main content should consist of love. Alisher Navoi says that "pain and word" (love and the fire of love) lead in it:

Ey Navoiy, sen-u Xusrav bila Jomiy tavri,

San’at-u rangni qo’y, so’zda kerak dard ila so’z. [1.219]

Although Alisher Navoi portrays the pain of love and the fire of love as leading themes, the thematic nature of the ghazal has broadened considerably in his work. In fact, the enrichment of the content of the ghazal in Turkic literature began with the work of Lutfi.

This article analyzes the interpretation of Sufi concepts in A. Navoi's works, particularly the categories of "fano" and "baqo" in lyrical works. The study illuminates the thinker's attitude to Sufism and the artistic expression of these concepts.

This article explores the symbolic representations of the elements air and earth in the context of angels and devils, with a particular focus on their depiction in Dan Brown's novel "Angels and Demons." Through a semiotic analysis, the study identifies and interprets the key symbols associated with air and earth, such as the Chapel Chigi (Earth) and West Ponente (Air), as well as their broader metaphysical and narrative significance. In the novel, earth is consistently linked to power and stability, while air symbolizes intelligence and divine inspiration. These elements are not only central to the plot's progression—guiding protagonist Robert Langdon through a series of symbolic markers—but also reflect deeper philosophical and spiritual associations found in various esoteric and religious traditions, where earth denotes steadfastness and air represents the subtlety of spirit or intellect.

This article examines the concept of "concept" in the context of linguoculturology, with an emphasis on its comprehensive analysis and the history of its study in the field of linguistics. The main objective of the work is to present the concept as a key element of linguoculturology, which is achieved through the study of its historical development, the analysis of the main research directions and the study of the structure of the concept. Methods of conceptual analysis, various approaches to the classification of concepts and a detailed study of the conceptual sphere are also considered. As a result of the analysis, it can be concluded that the concept is a multifaceted mental formation, which leads to a variety of approaches to its interpretation. Being a link between the mental sphere of a person, culture and history, the concept is perceived as a complex of formal and meaningful structure with a clear logical organization and unique characteristics.

This article examines autobiographical texts (personal novels, memoirs, autobiographies, diaries, letters) by French writers of the first half of the 19th century as a unified whole, demonstrating their homogeneity and revealing the process of the novelization of genres within so-called «documentary prose. » It is important to consider that «fictionality, » as a feature of personal writing in Romanticism, does not necessarily imply falsehood or the author's deliberate fabrication of the self-according to literary conventions in order to conceal their true identity by replacing it with fictional «doubles. » Therefore, it is crucial to take into account the authorial intention, which is largely shaped by how Romantic culture of the 19th century conceived of the self. It is essential to avoid the danger of reducing literature to a mere game in which the individuality of the writer is lost. One must fully attribute to the realm of writing what constitutes the very essence of personal self-awareness, equating the writing «I» with the act of writing itself.

Metaphors of darkness and light are among the most entrenched conceptual structures through which speakers of many languages construe knowledge, emotion, morality and social order. Drawing on Cognitive Linguistics, this study provides a contrastive examination of English and three Turkic languages (Turkish, Uzbek and Kazakh), asking whether the same image‐schematic oppositions underlie their discourse and how far culture reshapes the universal experiential basis. A 4.5-million-word balanced corpus of modern newspaper prose, fiction and academic writing in each language was queried for lexical items meaning “dark-/black-” and “light/bright/white” together with common collocates. Every concordance line was coded for source–target mappings according to Conceptual Metaphor Theory and statistically compared across languages. Qualitative close readings complemented the counts to expose culturally salient extensions such as divine illumination in Sufi Uzbek verse or socio-moral “whiteness” in Kazakh proverbial speech. Results reveal a stable cognitive template in which LIGHT indexes knowledge, moral approval and vitality whereas DARKNESS indexes ignorance, danger and emotional gravity, yet each language foregrounds different sub-domains and narrative frames. English displays a rational-secular orientation (“to shed light on a problem”), Turkish accentuates socio-political solidarity (“karanlık güçler” ‘dark forces’ for anti-democratic powers) and Uzbek preserves religious connotations (“nur topmoq” ‘to find light’ = receive divine guidance). These findings confirm that bodily experience grounds the metaphors but local history and ideology orchestrate their discursive salience. Pedagogically, explicit awareness of such metaphors can aid translation, intercultural pragmatics and vocabulary teaching in Turkic-English contexts.

This article examines the constellation of cognitive processes that underlie second-language (L2) learning, drawing on contemporary psycholinguistic theory and empirical evidence. The study integrates models of working memory, attentional control, implicit–explicit knowledge interaction, and lexical access to explore how learners internalise and retrieve a new linguistic system. A mixed-methods design combined eye-tracking with stimulated-recall protocols during an intensive twelve-week instructional programme for Uzbek-Russian bilingual adults acquiring English. Quantitative analyses of gaze duration and reaction-time measures were triangulated with qualitative thematic coding of verbal reports to trace the dynamics of noticing, chunking, form–meaning mapping, and automatisation. Results show that high phonological working-memory span and efficient executive control predict faster consolidation of morphosyntactic sequences, while implicit statistical learning mechanisms dominate the acquisition of low-salience grammatical cues. The discussion situates these findings within usage-based and declarative/procedural frameworks, arguing that successful L2 learning emerges from the synergy of domain-general and language-specific cognitive resources modulated by task design. Pedagogical implications point to adaptive scaffolding that targets the shifting locus of cognitive load across proficiency levels.

In recent years, research in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) has increased the demand for automated text analysis across multiple languages, including Uzbek. The multi-form, morphologically complex, and stylistically diverse nature of texts written in Uzbek poses certain challenges for automatic analysis. The central focus of this article is the automatic normalization of Uzbek texts—that is, the process of text normalization. It is dedicated to studying the linguistic and technological issues that arise during automatic text normalization in the Uzbek language. Complex morphological structures, polyform words, dialectal variants, Cyrillic-Latin script differences, and non-standard expressions complicate this process. The results of this research contribute to the deeper digital processing of the Uzbek language and to improving the quality of systems for machine translation, speech-to-text conversion, and text analysis.

Through epics, legends, proverbs, riddles, fairy tales, and songs, the people’s worldview, historical memory, and artistic perceptions have found expression. The article examines historical sources that contain samples of Uzbek folklore, the first scholars who recorded and studied them, the distinctive features of folklore genres, and their influence on written literature. Special attention is given to the scientific folkloristic research that began in the early 20th century, particularly highlighting the contributions of scholars such as Hadi Zarifov and Gozi Olim Yunusov. The article emphasizes key characteristics of oral creativity collectivity, anonymity, oral transmission, and intergenerational continuity while revealing its theoretical and practical significance in Uzbek literary studies.

This article explores the potential of using media texts to enhance students' learning outcomes through the application of the linguacultural approach. The linguacultural approach emphasizes the integration of language and culture in the process of language acquisition, and media texts serve as a powerful tool for fostering both linguistic and cultural competence. By analyzing various forms of media texts, such as films, advertisements, and social media, the study demonstrates how these resources can be used effectively in educational contexts to improve students' understanding of language in cultural contexts. The findings show that media texts provide a rich, authentic environment for language learners to develop critical thinking and intercultural awareness.

This article explores the metamorphosis of the figure of the "superfluous man" in the work of Franz Kafka, particularly through the character of Gregor Samsa in the novella The Metamorphosis (1915). A comparative analysis is carried out between Samsa and the classical representatives of the Russian type of "superfluous man" — Onegin, Pechorin, and Chatsky. Special attention is given to the themes of alienation, silence, non-functionality, and the collapse of the humanist model of the subject. The study combines methods of hermeneutics, existential philosophy, and literary comparativism.

The nonverbal components of communication are viewed from a gender perspective. When studying male and female versions of speech behavior, only communicative, lexical, morphological and syntactic preferences are revealed without taking inti account the peculiarities of the situation of communication between men and women, stratification variables (status, role, motivation, attitudes, norms as existing stereotypical representations concerning the verbal and nonverbal behavior of men) and women in linguistic genderology.

The accelerated digital transformation of education has propelled information services from peripheral utilities to core enablers of learning, research, and institutional governance. Drawing on a purposive review of empirical studies, policy documents, and institutional reports published between 2015 and 2025, this article examines how modern information services—ranging from learning management systems and digital libraries to analytics dashboards and AI-supported help desks—reshape pedagogical practice and administrative decision-making. The study adopts a mixed-methods explanatory design: a systematic content analysis establishes thematic trends, while three illustrative case vignettes (Uzbekistan, Finland, and Australia) supply contextual depth. Findings show that effective deployment of information services improves instructional quality, widens equitable access, and supports evidence-based management; however, gaps in digital literacy, data ethics, and sustainable funding hinder full realisation of these benefits. The article argues that strategic alignment between technological infrastructure, human capabilities, and regulatory frameworks is indispensable to convert informational affordances into educational value. Recommendations emphasise integrative governance models, continuous professional development, and culturally responsive content curation.
