Аннотация

This article presents an analysis of the formation, developmental stages, and modern approaches to the theory of nomination in linguistics. The nomination process is considered not only as a means of assigning names to linguistic units but also as an essential linguistic mechanism for meaning-making and expressing cultural values. The study highlights the cognitive, pragmatic, and linguocultural foundations of nomination and analyzes the functional roles of nominative units in various discourses of modern Uzbek through empirical examples. Keywords: nomination, linguistics, nominative unit, pragmatics, cognitive linguistics, linguoculturology, discourse, modern Uzbek language.
