LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF BORROWED TERMS TO TOURISM IN ENGLISH, UZBEK AND RUSSIAN LANGUAGES

Abstract

This article explores the linguistic and cultural characteristics of borrowed terms related to tourism in English, Uzbek, and Russian languages. As tourism continues to grow as a global industry, the exchange of linguistic and cultural elements becomes increasingly prevalent. By analyzing the borrowing process and the adaptation of these terms in different languages, this research sheds light on the intricate relationship between language, culture, and tourism. The study employs a comparative analysis approach, examining the borrowing patterns and semantic shifts that occur when tourism-related terms are adopted from one language to another. It investigates the extent to which these borrowings preserve their original form or
undergo modifications to conform to the phonetic, morphological, and semantic structures of the recipient languages. Additionally, the cultural connotations and implications associated with these borrowed terms are explored to understand how
they reflect the unique characteristics and perspectives of each language and culture.
