LINGUO-CULTURAL CHARACTERISTICS IN UZBEK REFERENTIAL UNITS
Аннотация
Referential units are speech elements that represent not only the function of addressing, encouraging, calling, but also the subjective attitude of the speaker towards the recipient. Not only connotative referential units indicate the addressee of the speech, but also characterize, evaluate it, and provide speech impression and influence through the connotative expression. There are a variety of ways in which speech is used to describe the subjective attitude of the speaker to the listener, such as being kind, expressing enjoyment, respect, satisfaction, anger, hatred, and discrimination. The expression of the connotation through the referential units in the communication is directly related to the national customs, traditions, spirituality, worldview and social environment of the Uzbek nation, its geographical location, climatic features, and interpersonal relations among people, natural conditions, religious views and beliefs. Connotative referential units are found on the basis of presuppositions such as important social characteristics of the listener, i.e. their age, sex, role in society, work position, being familiar or not, age variations, the social status of the listener – high, low or equal, the formal or informal status of the conversation.
