DIACHRONIC ASPECTS OF ENGLISH AND UZBEK PHONETIC TERMINOLOGY: A COMPARATIVE-HISTORICAL STUDY

This article investigates the diachronic development of phonetic terminology in English and Uzbek from a comparative-historical perspective. The study focuses on the origins, semantic evolution, structural characteristics, and processes of adaptation of phonetic terms in both languages. Particular attention is paid to the influence of historical linguistic traditions, scientific development, language contact, and sociocultural transformations on the formation of phonetic terminology. English phonetic terminology developed under the influence of Greek and Latin linguistic traditions and was subsequently shaped by the development of experimental phonetics and modern phonological theories. Uzbek phonetic terminology, in contrast, reflects the interaction of Turkic linguistic heritage, Arabic-Persian scholarly traditions, Russian linguistic influence, and contemporary international terminology.
