Keywords:
ecology, terminology, ecosystem terms, structural semantics, Uzbek language, English language, linguistic ecology, linguistic structure, scientific translation, terminology standardizationAbstract
This study explores the structural and semantic characteristics of ecosystem-related terminology in Uzbek and English, analyzing how linguistic differences influence translation and comprehension. Given the lack of direct studies on this topic, the research employs comparative linguistic methods, corpus analysis, and expert interviews to examine translation challenges and semantic structures. The study discusses how Uzbek’s Turkic origins and historical borrowings from Russian and Persian shape ecological terminology. Additionally, translation difficulties arising from linguistic structure and cultural contexts are analyzed, providing recommendations for more effective scientific communication between English and Uzbek. The findings contribute to the broader discourse on linguistic ecology and terminology standardization in scientific fields.
