ANALYSIS OF WORD STRESS AND ITS PHONETIC AND PHONOLOGICAL ASPECTS

Аннотация

This study analyzes the importance of word stress in linguistics and its phonetic and phonological aspects. Word stress plays an important role in the formation of meaning in a language and ensuring the correct use of words in context. This study determines how stress affects the phonetic and phonological structure of a language, as well as its role in the correct expression of meanings. At the same time, the article analyzes the practical use of word stress usingexamples from Uzbekand other languages.

Introduction. Word stress is one of the important issues in linguistics and is of great importance in analyzing its phonetic and phonological aspects, determining the structure of the language, the formation of meaning, and the effectiveness of communicative relations in the language. In each language, word stress plays an important role in defining and performing a certain meaning, and at thesametimecan affect the phoneticandphonological structures ofthe language. The correct understanding and study of meaning requires the identification and correct use of word stress. Analyzing its phonetic and phonological aspects helps to ensure the breath and tone of the language, as well as a clear and precise understanding of the meanings in the language. Elements such as stress, accent, and intonation change the meaning in the language, and their study helps to create new concepts and practical innovations in the fields of combinatorics and pragmatics. The relevance of this research is to understand the fundamental points of linguistics and determine the pragmatic and phonetic characteristics of word stress in Uzbek and other languages, and to establish the basis for further analytical and scientific research in the field of linguistics. The goals and objectives of the research on the topic "Analysis of word stress and its phonetic andphonological aspects" are as follows. The main objective of this study is: The purpose of the study is to determine the role and significance of word stress in linguistics, to analyze its phonetic and phonological aspects. The study examines the role of word stress in the formation of the semantic structure of the language, its influence on sound structure, accent and intonation. It also identifies the use of word stress in contextand its rolein linguistics and pragmatics. Based on themain objective ofthisstudy, thefollowing tasks were set. 1. Define word stress: Understand the general definition of word stress in linguistics and how it operates in terms ofits phoneticandphonological aspects. 2. Analyze phonetic aspects: Analyze the phonetic aspects of word stress, namely the formation of stressed sounds, their effect on sound structure, intonation, and the functions of accents in https://ijmri.de/index.php/jmsi volume 4,issue4,2025 320 language. 3. Study the semantic and pragmatic significance of word stress: Analyze the impact of stress on the meaning structure, semantic content, and the correct use of words and phrases in a pragmatic context. 4.Study the practical application of word stress: Considerthe practical application of word stress inlanguage, including its impact through examples inUzbek andother languages. This study can serve as a basis for new research in the fields of linguistics, pragmatics, and lexicology byidentifying theroleand significance ofself-stress inlinguistics. Level of understanding of the research topic A number of theoretical and empirical scientific research works have been carried out by scientists in English, Russian and Uzbek phonolinguistics on the specific features of stress and its practical classification, mainly since the 1960s. In them, scientists gave different definitions of word stress or accentema. According to B. A. Bogoroditsky, stress is characterized by an increase or decrease in articulatory and respiratory energy. According to D. Jovnes, stress is defined as the level of impact associated with the pitch of the sound produced when breathing out with a strong impact. H. Sweet also agrees with the view that stress is directly related to the force of the exhaled breath. Another English linguist, A. Gimson, claims that the stressed syllable is explained by the higher respiratory effort and muscularenergy expenditurethan other unstressed syllables in thesame word. D. Crystal's phonetic description of stress is that stress represents the degree of stress in forming a syllable. According to Pouldauf, word stress is the opposition of a stress peak or peaks in a word (lexical unit, lexeme) to another stress peak or peaks in the word, taking into account the existingsyllables. Research methodology: This study uses several theoretical and practical methods to analyze the phonetic and phonological aspects of word
