THE PLACE OF CRAFT TERMINOLOGY IN THE LEXICAL SYSTEM OF THE UZBEK LANGUAGE
Abstract
This article examines the place of craft terminology in the lexical system of the Uzbek language, its sources of formation, the process of terminologization, and its historical-linguistic features. The study analyzes the interaction of craft terms with common vocabulary, dialectal layers, and scientific-technical terminology. Particular attention is given to semantic narrowing, the acquisition of monosemantic features, and the stabilization of terms in professional discourse. The role of craft terminology in preserving national culture and ethnolinguistic heritage is also explored. The findings confirm that craft terminology represents an essential component of linguistic development and reflects the national identity of the language.
