LINGUISTIC AND ETYMOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BORROWED ARABISMS IN UZBEK AND SPANISH LANGUAGES
Abstract
Words from other languages occupy a significant place in the vocabulary of the world’s languages. In the Middle Ages, Arabic words penetrated into the Uzbek and Spanish languages, which indicates the strengthening of the direct influence of the Arab world, including the Arabic language. At that time, a significant increase in the number of translations and the disappearance of the Arabic article “al” testify to the emergence of a situation of bilingualism in both countries. In the absence of a lexeme denoting a certain concept, or because of the inconvenience of its use, the speaker began to use Arabic words in his speech. Some of the Arabisms were directly assimilated and some were introduced through a third or fourth intermediate language. During such “journeys” words underwent phonetic and spelling changes, phenomena of narrowing or expansion of meaning occurred in them. Often assimilated words obeyed the internal laws that exist in each language. These issues were analyzed in this article through the lexemes “alcohol” and “zenith”. Although Arabisms have been studied to a certain extent in world linguistics, the conclusions made in the article serve to enrich the Uzbek lexicology with new linguo-etymological and scientifictheoretical views.
