LACUNA AS A LINGUOCULTURAL PHENOMENON IN UZBEK AND ENGLISH LANGUAGES

Аннотация

The article discusses the concept of lacuna, its classification, its manifestations in intercultural communication, and its role in translation studies. It also emphasizes the issue of achieving balance in translation with the example of English-Uzbek and Uzbek-English comparisons. Approaching the term “lacuna” from the linguocultural point of view is highly supported in the article. It is proved that the study of lacuna in the linguocultural aspect has a number of advantages. This approach can help to understand the lacuna in integrity, in all its beauty, to see deeper foundations of the lacuna, and to open up new perspectives and opportunities for understanding intercultural communication. In particular, we stand for the use of linguocultural analyses in Uzbek-English translation fiction, the languages, which are distant from each other, because in prose works there are many lexical units with a clear linguocultural component, and in most cases they are given the decisive roles as expressing the literary value and idea of the work. Deep background knowledge is required to properly understand and translate these lexical units. Insufficient understanding and incorrect translation can lead to misunderstandings and cultural errors in communication. In this context, this paper aims to show the benefits of a deeper and combined study of the lacuna in linguistic and cultural aspects.

Due to the growing scientific and technical process and globalization as a result of large- scale international dialogue, lately cultural focus has been on these links. Cultures are more than languages, but this is why there is an urgent need to study intercultural communication - intercultural communication. Naturally, such communication is characterized by a clash of cultures, which in turn creates some barriers to communication. Currently, the changing methodological paradigm in linguistics and translation, the rapidly evolving world and globalization, now require translation to focus not only on linguistic issues, but also on its cultural aspects, and is now regarded as a form of intercultural and intercultural communication. Certainly, as a result of inter-linguistic and intercultural alternatives arising from intercultural or intercultural communication, the problem of understanding and interpreting the concepts of another language and culture by one language and culture owner arises. As the scientific paradigm shifted towards anthropocentricism in the 20th and 20th centuries, special attention was paid to the national-cultural nature of linguistic phenomena and the close relationship between language and culture. The urgency of these issues has prompted the emergence of such areas as cognitive linguistics, psycholinguistics, ethnopsycholinguistics, linguistic philosophy, linguistics, and lacunology. In the second half of the twentieth century in the work of researchers comparing aspects of language and culture, the concepts of lacuna and lacuna emerged. First of all, the national aspects of the conceptualization of the world surrounding the lacuna phenomenon are related to the fact that people of different nationalities have a deep and 20 unbalanced attitude towards the world, based on their own worldview. In the course of the research, the lacuna was classified into lexical and lingual cultures. Lacunas indicate the national and cultural identity of languages, and this is due to the fact that there are no other languages or concepts that have emerged as a result of living conditions, worldviews, psychology, traditions of a particular nation. Of course, mutual understanding is not an inescapable goal, but achieving this goal in a realistic way requires a deeper understanding of the national culture, linguistic and conceptual worlds of this nation. According to Yu.A.Sorokin and I. Markovina, "Lacunas are the result of a lack or excess of experience in linguocultural unity". Lacunas, first mentioned in linguistics, in particular in stylistics, are currently being considered in many studies on ethnopsycholinguistics, cultural studies and linguistics, with different classifications, research and elimination methods. In turn, there appeared a special area of study of lacuna - lacunology. A number of authors who study lacuna from a linguistic and cultural perspective perceive it as a barrier to communication, and we consider it to be a valid conclusion. Lacuna as a linguistic phenomenon that causes the process of mutual understanding between participants of any kind, especially intercultural communication, always occurs when certain parts of the culture and language codes are not covered by semantic means and cause confusion. ANALYSIS AND RESULTS. When considering the differences between languages and cultures, one of the first issues to consider is the notion of 'lacuna', which is used in a narrow and broad se
