ON "DEAD WORDS" IN THE UZBEK LANGUAGE

Abstract

In some studies and textbooks devoted to the study of archaic words in Uzbek linguistics, information is provided that the obsolete lexical layer has passed into the ranks of lexical units that were used in the past and are not in common use at all.
Lexical units that are completely out of use today, completely incomprehensible to the representatives of modernity, completely unused, belonging to a past stage of language development, cannot be considered archaism from today's point of view. These are lexical units of the past, and their archaism or non-archaism is determined depending on the stage of language development. Such words are called "dead words" in scientific sources. Dead words are words that have fallen out of use in the past, are now almost incomprehensible and are completely dead words from the point of view of the current Uzbek literary language. We want to think about this in our article below.
