MFORMATION OF ETHNONYMS AS AN EXPRESSION OF NATIONAL IDENTITY

Аннотация

Along with all levels of the onomastic system, ethnonyms also have their own patterns of formation. As in many Turkic languages, Uzbek also has simple, compound, root, and derived ethnonyms, which differ from other languages in some aspects according to the rules of Uzbek grammar. This article conducts analyses within the framework of this topic. Ethnonyms related to the Qo'ng'irot clan were selected as the object of study. Keywords: grammatical features, conversion method, lexical-semantic conversion, morphological method, syntactic method. In world linguistics, the formation of various onomastic units differs due to the diversity of grammatical features. For example, in the formation of German ethnonyms, different methods of word formation are expressed to varying degrees. Most ethnonyms are formed on the basis of toponyms (names of continents, countries, settlements, cities, rivers, mountains, islands, etc.) with the help of suffixes. The most productive ethnonymic suffixes are -er, -e, -ier. Word composition, onomatopoeia, compounding, and conversion are expressed to a lesser extent. Prefixation is not characteristic of the process of ethnonym formation. The grammatical division into two groups, common to ethnonyms in the Uzbek language, is also characteristic of ethnonyms belonging to the Qo'ng'irot clan. According to their grammatical structure, ethnonyms related to the Qo'ng'irot clan can be divided into simple ethnonyms and compound ethnonyms. Simple ethnonyms are composed of a single base and can be either root or derived. Root ethnonyms include names such as kal (as part of Qo'shtamg'ali), ko'sa (as part of Qo'shtamg'ali), ulus (as part of Qonjig'ali), qora (as part of Oyinni), and mo'nka (as part of Tortuvli). In simple ethnonyms with a derived structure, it is clearly evident that the name is derived, as it is possible to separate it into a root and a suffix. In this regard, the most productive suffix is -li, and many ethnonyms within the Qo'ng'irot clan are formed using this suffix: cho'michli, taroqli/toraqli, bolg'ali, irg'oqli, kesovli (all the listed ethnonyms belong to the vaxtamg'ali branch). At 158 THEORETICAL ASPECTS IN THE FORMATION OF PEDAGOGICAL SCIENCES International scientific-online conference this point, considering that the suffix -li is an abbreviation of the word tamg'ali (which we have discussed in other parts of our research), our thoughts may seem erroneous. However, since we are conducting an analysis in terms of the final form of the ethnonym, we consider it appropriate to maintain this
