THE ROLE OF LINGUISTICS IN ECONOMIC THOUGHT

Аннотация

This article analyzes the relationship between linguistics and economics, in particular the importance of economic terminology, discourse analysis, and communicative pragmatics in the economic environment, on a scientific and theoretical basis. The interaction between language and economics, the linguistic expression of economic concepts, how economic texts are linguistically constructed, and their role in theformation ofeconomic consciousness are discussed. It also examines how modern linguistic theories — cognitive linguistics, pragmalinguistics, discourse analysis, and terminology —can beused in thecontext ofeconomicsciences. Keywords: Linguistics, economics, economic discourse, linguistic pragmatics, terminology, cognitiveapproach, communicative effectiveness, linguisticeconomics. In today's era of globalization, scientific disciplines are becoming increasingly integrated. In particular, the boundaries between the humanities and social sciences are becoming increasingly relative. From this perspective, the inextricable link between linguistics and economics, their interaction and harmony play an important role in the formation of new scientific approaches. [3, 52;] The efficiency of economic communication, the culture of economic text and speech, terminological harmony and linguistic thinking are emerging as components of economic stability and knowledge transferprocesses. The expression of economic knowledge, the formation of economic terms, and their presentation to the general public in an understandable way - all this relies on the capabilities of language, linguistic approaches. It is in this respect that linguistics has a theoretical and practical place in economics, forming thecommunicativefoundations of modern economic thinking. [4, 123;] A number of theories existing in linguistics - cognitive linguistics, semantic analysis, discursive approaches, pragmalinguistics, and even semiotics - are of practical importance in the transmission of economic knowledge. In particular, the linguistic study of economic discourse ensures thecorrect and effectivetransmission of economicinformation. [2, 112;] From thepoint of view of cognitive linguistics, economic terms are not only lexical units, but also concepts that form an economic worldview. For example, concepts such as “development”, “profit”, “risk”, “stability”, “balance” are based on certain mental models in human thinking, and howthey are expressed directly affects economicdecision-making.[1, 3;] Terminology, one of the important branches of linguistics, is directly related to economic terms. Like every scientific field, economics has its own terminological apparatus. However, when these terms are adapted to the national language, semantic ambiguities, translation errors, and methodological confusion are observed.[5, 68;] 8 INTERNATIONAL MULTIDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL FOR RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT SJIF2019:5.2222020:5.5522021:5.6372022:5.4792023:6.5632024:7,805 eISSN:2394-6334 https://www.ijmrd.in/index.php/imjrd Volume12,issue05(2025) Economic terms are often directly adopted from foreign languages. This makes it impossible to fully reveal their meaning in the native language. Therefore, it is necessary to create a single economic terminological base in cooperation with linguists and economists, and to standardize them linguistically. For example, the English term “cost-benefit analysis” is translated into Uzbek as “харагат-фойда танльіли”. However, in this translation, a linguistic explanation is necessary to fully reveal the essence of the economic model. Such cases require strengthening the scientific dialogue between linguistics and economics.[4, 112;] Discourse theory is widely used in the analysis of the process of economic information transmission. Economic discourse is not only a set of economic terms, but also a communicative model of speech practice aimed at a specific goal, information dissemination and understanding. [2, 122;] For example, discussions of the state budget, financial reports, economic analytical articles, advertising texts -all theseare forms ofeconomic discourse. These types of discourse are analyzed based on linguistic criteria, and aspects such as the effectiveness, accuracy, popularity, and comprehensibility of economic information are evaluated. In particular, the communicative pragmatics of economic speech is of great importance as a means of influencing social consciousness.[5, 88;] Linguistics studies conceptual structures that are formed in the human mind based on cognitive approaches. In economics, concepts such as economic decisions, choice, need, benefit, and risk are all products of human thinking. In this respect, economics and linguistics interact on a cognitiveplatform.[7, 98; How do people understand economic processes? How do they classify them? What does “profit” or “loss” mean to them? These questions are formed on the basis of concepts expressed through the language. Therefore, language is an important cogniti
