FEATURES OF LEXICOGRAPHIC SOURCES OF THE UZBEK LANGUAGE

This article examines the distinctive features of lexicographic sources in the Uzbek language, tracing their development from early manuscript glossaries of the 18th century through the Soviet-era normative dictionaries to contemporary digital lexicographic projects. A systematic analysis of 141 lexicographic works was conducted, revealing typological classifications, structural peculiarities, script transitions, and the degree of dialectal and terminological coverage. The study employs bibliographic analysis, comparative-typological and descriptive methods. Results indicate that Uzbek lexicography has undergone three major paradigm shifts — pre-Soviet, Soviet normative, and post-independence pluralistic — each leaving distinct structural and conceptual imprints on existing dictionaries. The findings contribute to a theoretical framework for the systematic evaluation and modernization of Uzbek lexicographic resources.
