Tourism Terms in The Karakalpak Language
Abstract
This article examines the formation, structure, and functional use of tourism terminology in the Karakalpak language within the context of globalization and linguistic development. In particular, it analyzes the interaction between borrowed terms from English and Russian and native word-formation processes such as suffixation and compounding. Furthermore, the study highlights the role of linguocultural factors, demonstrating how tourism terminology reflects national identity and cultural heritage. In addition, attention is given to functional variation across communicative domains, as well as to the challenges of standardization and codification. The findings indicate that tourism terminology in Karakalpak is a dynamic and hybrid system shaped by both global influences and internal linguistic resources. Therefore, further research and terminological systematization are necessary for effective communication and sustainable tourism development.
