This article investigates the phenomenon of lexical innovation in Uzbek, focusing on borrowings from English and their integration into the Uzbek lexicon through social media and online communication. Utilizing a corpus-based approach, the study analyzes large-scale datasets derived from digital platforms, including social media networks, news websites, and online forums, to track the emergence and dissemination of neologisms. The findings reveal a significant prevalence of English borrowings in domains such as technology, business, and culture, which are adapted into Uzbek through phonological adaptation, semantic extension, and morphological modification. The study highlights the role of digital communication as a catalyst for linguistic change, facilitating the rapid spread and normalization of new lexical items. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of language contact and lexical evolution in the digital age, raising important questions about language preservation and cultural identity. The article concludes with implications for future research, emphasizing the need for further exploration of corpus-based methodologies and the long-term impact of digital communication on language dynamics.

Ushbu maqola oʻzbek tilidagi leksik innovatsiyalar hodisasini, xususan, ingliz tilidan olingan oʻzlashmalar va ularning ijtimoiy tarmoqlar va onlayn muloqot orqali oʻzbek leksikasiga integratsiyasini oʻrganadi. Korpusga asoslangan yondashuvdan foydalanib, tadqiqot ijtimoiy tarmoq platformalari, yangiliklar saytlari va onlayn forumlardan olingan katta hajmdagi maʼlumotlar toʻplamini tahlil qiladi va neologizmlarning paydo boʻlishi va tarqalishini kuzatadi. Tadqiqot natijalari texnologiya, biznes va madaniyat kabi sohalarda ingliz tilidan olingan oʻzlashmalarning keng tarqalganligini koʻrsatadi, ular fonologik moslashuv, semantik kengayish va morfologik oʻzgarishlar orqali oʻzbek tiliga moslashtiriladi. Tadqiqot raqamli muloqotni til oʻzgarishlarining tez tarqalishiga yordam beruvchi katalizator sifatida taʼkidlaydi. Bu hodisa til aloqasi va leksik evolyutsiyani tushunishga hissa qoʻshadi va tilni saqlash va madaniy identitet masalalarini koʻtaradi. Maqola korpusga asoslangan metodologiyalar va raqamli muloqotning til dinamikasiga uzoq muddatli taʼsirini chuqurroq oʻrganish zarurligini taʼkidlab, kelajakdagi tadqiqotlar uchun asos yaratadi.
В статье исследуется явление лексической инновации в узбекском языке, при этом уделяется особое внимание заимствованиям из английского языка и их интеграции в узбекский лексикон через социальные сети и онлайн-общение. Используя корпусный подход, исследование анализирует крупномасштабные наборы данных, полученные с цифровых платформ, включая социальные сети, новостные сайты и онлайн-форумы, чтобы отследить появление и распространение неологизмов. Результаты исследования показывают значительное распространение заимствований из английского языка в таких областях, как технологии, бизнес и культура, которые осваиваются узбекским языком через процессы фонологической адаптации, семантического расширения и морфологической модификации. Исследование подчеркивает роль цифрового общения как катализатора языковых изменений, способствующего быстрому распространению и нормализации новых лексических единиц. Эти выводы способствуют более глубокому пониманию языковых контактов и лексической эволюции в цифровую эпоху, а также поднимают важные вопросы о сохранении языка и культурной идентичности. В статье подчеркивается необходимость дальнейшего изучения корпусных методологий и долгосрочного влияния цифрового общения на языковую динамику.
