Classification of euphemism and its formation in the uzbek language

Abstract

This article discusses the classification of euphemisms and their formation in the Uzbek language. In this paper, we will endeavor to prove this assertion, at the same time accounting for some of the motivations upon which euphemistic creations are based. It may cover the wide range of linguistic and extralinguistic motivations underlying the new lexical units - euphemisms. Euphemisms in most cases are not simply a stylistic synonym or substitute for some linguistic unit. They shift the emotional dominant and offer a new exploration of a certain phenomenon, a new perspective for its consideration and contain a new moral and ethical assessment of the phenomenon. Based on this, this article presents linguistic features of euphemisms in speech, ethno-linguistic, ethno-cultural, sociolinguistic problems of taboos and euphemisms, euphemisms of speech etiquette, differential expressions of euphemisms and the ethical and aesthetic significance of the taboo and euphemisms, and so on. The analogies and differences between the linguistic phenomenon of euphemism and synonymy have been examined in detail.
