Loanwords and Calques in Uzbek Philosophical Terminology: Influence of Arabic, Persian, And Russian
Abstract
The Uzbek language, shaped by centuries of historical contact and cultural exchange, offers a rich field for exploring the intersection of language and philosophy. As a dynamic and evolving linguistic system, Uzbek has absorbed numerous loanwords and calques—notably from Arabic, Persian, Russian, and English—each marking a distinct phase in its socio-cultural development. This study investigates how such borrowings have not only expanded the philosophical lexicon of Uzbek but also reflect deeper patterns of cultural interaction, linguistic adaptation, and historical transformation.
Keywords
