POSSIBILITIES OF FORMING THE LINGUOCULTURAL CONTENT OF NEOLOGISMS IN THE GERMAN AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

Abstract

this article examines the potential of neologisms in the formation of linguocultural meaning. Neologisms are interpreted not only as lexical units that name new realities but also as semantic tools reflecting and shaping socio-cultural transformations in society. Based on examples from German and Uzbek, the study provides a comparative linguocultural analysis of the semantic structure of neologisms, their axiological components, and their relationship with national worldviews. The findings demonstrate that neologisms function as indicators of social values and cultural paradigms, revealing the priorities and ideological orientations of a particular society. In German, neologisms often reflect values such as rationality, institutional responsibility, and efficiency, whereas in Uzbek they emphasize social solidarity, moral responsibility, and collective values. Consequently, neologisms serve as an important linguistic mechanism through which cultural meanings and social attitudes are conceptualized and transmitted.
