Concept of Horizon and the Intersection of Utopian and Dystopian Visions in Literature

Mahira Hajiyeva — 2024-09-05

Literature has long served as a powerful medium through which authors express their ideas and visions, inviting readers to engage in a dialogue with the words. Reader response theory, a critical approach that emphasizes the role of the reader in shaping the meaning of a text, plays a crucial role in understanding the dynamic interaction between a text and its audience. The notion of the “horizon” further complicates this interaction, as it represents the readers’ interpretive limits and the potential for expanding one’s understanding of both utopian and dystopian visions. The reader’s own hopes, fears, and worldview play a significant role in how they perceive and interpret the text. This article delves into the reader response theory, the concept of horizon, and their intersection in the context of utopian and dystopian literature.

The Problem of Common Communication Language in Turkish State and Community Today

Эльчин Ибрагимов — 2024-09-05

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Turkic republics began to show themselves in the international arena as separate independent
states. The newly independent republics began to open up to the world and establish relations in all fields of economy, science, art, and sports.
The common language of communication spoken by Turkic peoples and communities was the most important issue that attracted the
main attention in these meetings. In high-level meetings, the fact that the participants communicated in different dialects of the language formed in the same historical period in some cases caused certain difficulties and disagreements. Historically, Turks spoke various dialects of common origin. Ideas about language and the alphabet have always been the number one topic of discussion at the meetings held at a high level. In these meetings, the issues of whether a common alphabet union could be established among the Turkic peoples, and whether a common written language and communication language could be formed were constantly being discussed in these meetings and solutions were sought. Today, Turkic people need a common language of communication to establish scientific, economic, and political relations at the highest level in the globalizing world. Turkey Turkish has now paved the way for the states and communities in which Turks live. Today, the Republic of Turkey establishes high-level relations with Turkic-speaking countries in the fields of civil, economic, and education. So, Turkey Turkish has now paved the way for Turkic geography. Turkey Turkish should or can mediate for a common spoken language between Turkic people. But we should also say that Turkic has minor problems within itself. If Turkey Turkish want to take the responsibility of being the common language of communication among Turkic peoples, then it can reveal minor problems in Turkish.

Theoretical Issues of Anthropocentrism in the Context of the Development of Modern Linguistic Science

Нозлия НОРМУРОДОВA — 2024-09-05

This article is dedicated to the study of the anthropocentric
approach in linguistics, which examines language through the prism of the triads “language – human – communication,” “language – human – thinking,”
and “language – human – culture.” The work emphasizes the importance
of an interdisciplinary analysis of discourse, integrating various
linguistic fields such as text linguistics, communicative linguistics, cognitive
linguistics, linguistic conceptology, and linguistic cultural studies. The
main methodological principles of modern linguistics include anthropocentrism,
expansionism, functionalism, and explanatoriness. The article
also addresses the issue of differentiating between text and discourse,
asserting that discourse includes extralinguistic factors such as situational
context, communication purpose, and sociocultural conditions. The work
proposes a layered model of literary discourse, encompassing semantic-
stylistic, communicative-pragmatic, cognitive, and aesthetic-cultural
levels, highlighting the necessity of a comprehensive analysis of both
the internal linguistic parameters of the text and the external contextual
factors.

Differentiation of Processes of Generational Exchange in a Changing Society

Sabohat Kalanova — 2024-09-05

The paper studies the problems of methodology and theory of
intergeneration attitudes. As the initial methodological basis of this
problem Platon’s idea about the patrimonial person is designated as
well as the views of Russian philosophers about Patrimonial integrity
as the linker between the person and the society. The philosophers
M. Heidegger’s and E. Husserl’s idea of intersubjective experience
which is treated as the attitude between old and new generations,
between the adult and the child or as generative attitude is analyzed.
In a changing environment, society demands to be seen as a historical
process based on the concepts of rebuilding and changing social
relationships, continuity and disunity, traditionalism and innovation.
In this sense, generation serves as a historical instrument for
measuring the scale and direction of long-term, time-varying social
change. “The successive emergence of new ‘biological beings’ inevitably
leads to some loss of the accumulated cultural wealth; but, on
the other hand, makes a “new selection” of what has been achieved
only when it is necessary. This encourages us to reevaluate what we
have accumulated, and teaches us to forget what is no longer needed,
and to strive for what we failed to achieve. The “step” of a generation
helps to determine the balance between the past state of society and
its movement into the future.

Old Turkic Inscriptions as a Source for Understanding the Categories of Social Status, Social Inequality, and Memory among Early Medieval Turks in Central Asia

Eldar Asanov — 2024-09-05

In the early medieval, the Turks emerged as a political and military
force, forming a political elite that consolidated the essential components
of resources and governance under their control, paving the way for
the establishment of large empires. The political elite, along with the
military stratum under their command, played a crucial role. They not only utilized military power but also engaged with local elites, creating a
complex administrative system by actively involving the middle stratum
aristocracy in resource allocation and management. This system gathered
the best experiences of nomadic empires and provided the possibility of
integrating local elites into the Turkic elite.
During the process of building empires, the ancient Turks,
firstly, assimilated some traditions and social values, forming new social
realities through interactions with conquered folks. As a result, there was
a significant divergence between the political elite, the middle aristocracy,
and the common people. Simultaneously, positive changes occurred in the
spiritual sphere, contributing to cultural development – new religions,
forms of art, civilizations, writings, and writing traditions emerged. While
in ancient Turkish society, writing primarily served individual, family, and
ceremonial memory preservation, during the imperial period, it began
to play a role in legitimization, settling in sedentary areas, aligning with
settled peoples, and initiating relations based on writing in administrative
governance, monetary transactions, economic management, legal
codification, and cultural and religious life

Basics of Research of Lexical Homonyms in the Uzbek and Turkish Languages in the Linguocognitive Aspect

Muqaddas Abdurahmanova — 2024-09-05

The article covers the basics of studying homonyms in the
Uzbek and Turkish languages in the linguocognitive aspect. It is noted
that studies of homonymy in world linguistics are studied primarily
on the basis of a comparative-historical, systemic-structural paradigm.
Despite the existence of different approaches and contradictory views
on the interpretation of the phenomenon of homonymy in language, the
significance of the phenomenon of homonymy in language acquisition,
the hidden expression of reality and thought, the meaning of different
meanings in a literary text are shown
It is noted that the anthropocentric paradigm studies language
based on the interest, worldview, thinking and perception of its users,
and also shows the role of homonymy in the development of individual
thinking. Research aimed at the anthropocentric study of homonyms in
foreign linguistics is analyzed, and the theoretical foundations for the study
of homonyms in the Uzbek and Turkish languages in the linguistic-cognitive
direction are shown. The linguistic features expressed in homonymous
lines in the Uzbek and Turkish languages are analyzed.

Azizullah Aral — 2024-09-05

The constructions made by Alisher Navoi in the Khurasan estate
during the reign of Sultan Husayn Boykara of the known Timurid dynasty
