FORMATION AND SEMANTIC SYSTEM OF ABBREVIATIONS A STUDY BASED ON ENGLISH AND UZBEK EXAMPLES
Abstract
This study explores the formation and semantic system of abbreviations in both English and Uzbek languages. It examines how abbreviations are formed, their semantic implications, and the differences and similarities in their use and interpretation across these two languages. Through a comparative analysis, the paper aims to contribute to a better understanding of how abbreviations function within each linguistic context and the impact of culture and language structure on their meaning.
