Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between Russian language use and language planning in the context of newly independent, post-soviet Uzbekistan (1991–1992). It is guided by the ...question:
In what ways does the use of Russian loanwords in Uzbek language newspapers accomplish language planning in newly independent Uzbekistan?
The main finding from this analysis is that post-independence use of Russian loanwords from particular semantic classes in particular contexts reinforce overtly stated ideologies about Russian and construct difference between soviet Uzbekistan and independent Uzbekistan. These findings demonstrate the need to reexamine the role of Russian language in post-soviet contexts, and they contribute a unique approach to analyzing links between lexical items and ideology in language planning.
This paper describes Illinois Cognitive Computation Group's system for the 2016 NIST Low Resource Human Language Technology (LoReHLT) evaluation, in which the target language is Uyghur. We ...participate in two tasks, named entity recognition (NER) and situation frame (SF). For NER, we develop two models. The first model is a rule-based model, which is based on the knowledge obtained by inspecting the monolingual documents, reading the Uyghur grammar book, and interacting with the native informants. The second model is a transfer model, which is trained on the labeled Uzbek data. Combining the outputs of these two models yields significant improvement and achieves 60.4 F1-score on the official evaluation set. For the new SF task, we apply the dataless classification technique to build an English classifier for eight situation types, and use an Uyghur-to-English dictionary to translate the Uyghur documents. Using this classifier, we propose two frameworks of grounding situations to the locations mentioned in text.

Uzbekistan became an independent and sovereign state in 1991. Earlier, it was part of the Tsarist and Communist ideological states which sought to assimilate its centuries-old religious, cultural and ...linguistic identities. After disintegration of the Soviet Union, the new regime rejected the communist ideals and committed itself to fostering all-round development of historical, national and cultural traditions of the people of Uzbekistan. The new regime exchanged the Soviet hammer and sickle for traditional symbols of nation-hood—a flag, an anthem and new holidays ranging from the national/political (Flag Day and Independence Day) to the cultural (Novroz).
After 25 years of independence, Uzbekistan seems successful in all fields. It has developed its own strategy for renewal of the society, known as Uzbek Model. All Central Asian republics embarked upon the path of self-discovery and national reconstruction to rest their worldview into their own specific cultural and linguistic moorings. They are reviving and reshaping their economy, history, language and national identity in the process of regaining their pre-soviet legacy. For this, each republic is reinvigorating its linguistic distinctiveness as a vehicle for expressing national identity. This article deals with the revival of Uzbek language and national identity in the post-independence period.

In this analytical article, I present the dialectic diversity of the Uzbek language in terms and problems with the linguistic classification of those dialects. I intend to demonstrate that the ...diversity stems from the historical development of the language in the territory occupied by a variety of peoples at different times. I also attend to the issue of the spatial distribution of various Turkic and non-Turkic families of languages of Central Asia and beyond, and discuss their proximity and distance. I also discuss the existing linguistic ambiguities within the Uzbek language.

Every year the interest in the study of the Uzbek language and Uzbek literature is increased in the world. Nowadays, e-learning materials containing a multimedia textbook, a multilingual dictionary, ...audio of conversational phrasebooks and a glossary of the non-equivalent national-cultural vocabulary of the modern literary Uzbek language are needed for students of the Uzbek language outside Uzbekistan. The authors propose new approaches to the creation of this electronic educational complex.

The aim of this paper is to discuss similarities between the Cypriot Turkish and the Cypriot Greek subjunctive/optative paradigm, to account for these similarities in terms of a theory of language ...contact, and to suggest an explanation for the similarities in the paradigms of the two dialects that can also account for the points of divergence from the respective standard languages. Modal complement clauses in Turkic languages are usually nominal infinitive constructions or, in very restricted in- stances, adverbial clauses of purpose with imperative-optative, while in some Turkic languages (Gagauz, some Azeri and Uzbek dialects, Karaim), as well as in several Turkish dialects (Balkan Turkish, Eastern Anatolian Turkish) the imperative-voluntative and the second person singular & plural optative are used in non-matrix clauses, following models of non-Turkic languages with which they are in contact. The paper further discusses the various types of modality associated with the Cypriot Turkish 'subjunctive' and their Greek Cypriot parallels.

Nowadays it is seen the active development of text sentiment analysis tools, which help solve a huge range of problems, ranging from emotional tone or polarity to the nature of the analyzed text. ...Although significant advances have been made in sentiment analysis for languages with abundant computing resources, the problem still remains relevant for resource-poor languages, where Uzbek is one of them. The lack of complete linguistic databases and tools for this language represents a major obstacle for the scientific community.The present study aims to address this limitation by introducing a rule-based approach for sentiment analysis in the Uzbek language. In particular, the methodology uses three key vocabularies: the first includes a comprehensive list of more than 300 affixes used to generate word forms; the second focuses on cataloging exception words that defy standard morphological rules; and the third contains a list of word roots, some of the word roots are already marked with positive or negative sentiment polarity.When combined, morphological analysis with these lexical resources can effectively recognize tonal orientation in Uzbek sentences. This is especially important given the agglutinative nature of language and complex morphological structures that add layers of subtle meaning, influencing the interpretation of sentiments.
The article is devoted to the development of an algorithm for processing dialect variants of the Uzbek language. The main goal of the study is to automate the process of converting dialect word forms ...into their standard literary analogues. The authors discusses a dictionary approach, which requires using of two databases representing analyzed words. These dictionary databases consist of the words in North Oguz and South Khorezm dialects of the Uzbek language and their association with their literary equivalents.The results of testing demonstrate the good accuracy of the algorithm for words that are in the database of dialect analogues, while when working with word forms that are not in the databases, the accuracy percentage decreases significantly. The proposed approach can be improved, as the authors discuss in the conclusion section. The results of the work can be applied in problems of machine translation, information retrieval, lexical and semantic text processing, as well as in areas related to the study and preservation of linguistic diversity.

The accurate syllabification of words plays a vital role in various Natural Language Processing applications. Syllabification is a versatile linguistic tool with applications in linguistic research, ...language technology, education, and various fields where understanding and processing language is essential. In this paper, we present a comprehensive approach to syllabification for the Uzbek language, including rule-based techniques and machine learning algorithms. Our rule-based approach utilizes advanced methods for dividing words into syllables, generating hyphenations for line breaks and count of syllables. Additionally, we collected a dataset for evaluating and training using machine learning algorithms comprising word-syllable mappings, hyphenations, and syllable counts to predict syllable counts as well as for the evaluation of the proposed model. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of both approaches in achieving accurate syllabification. The results of our experiments show that both approaches achieved a high level of accuracy, exceeding 99%. This study provides valuable insights and recommendations for future research on syllabification and related areas in not only the Uzbek language itself, but also in other closely-related Turkic languages with low-resource factor.
