Gaffarov Alisher Akhmedovich — 2025-10-24

Objective: This study aims to examine the syntactic transformation of contemporary Uzbek media language under the influence of digital journalism, focusing on how sentence structure, stylistic choices, and linguistic functions have evolved in response to online communication trends. Method: A descriptive and comparative analysis was conducted on texts from leading Uzbek media outlets (Kun.uz and Daryo.uz) and social media news posts to identify syntactic tendencies. Results: The findings reveal significant structural changes, including sentential reduction, increased parataxis, and frequent use of elliptical constructions, reflecting a shift toward brevity, readability, and immediacy. Contemporary Uzbek media language demonstrates hybrid syntax, merging formal written and informal spoken elements, which caters to the digital audience’s preference for concise and transparent communication. Novelty: This study provides the first systematic account of how digital transformation reshapes the syntax of Uzbek media language, positioning these linguistic adaptations as a reflection of the broader technological and communicative shifts defining modern journalism in the digital era.

Shamshimetov Ruslan Tashtemirovich — 2025-10-25

Objective: This study aims to analyze the process of professional development of the individual within the framework of social conditions, professional activity, and personal growth, emphasizing the acmeological dimensions of professionalism formation. Method: Using a theoretical-descriptive approach, the study synthesizes perspectives from developmental psychology and acmeology to examine how professional crises, stress, and social environments influence personal and professional evolution.

These crises significantly affect interpersonal and family relationships, while constructive resolution through self-reflection, self-development, and self-improvement enhances professional maturity. Novelty: This article contributes to the field of acmeology by highlighting the dialectical relationship between professional crises and personal growth, offering new insights into how individuals can transform professional challenges into opportunities for self-actualization and sustainable development.

Norova Fazilat Fayzulloyevna — 2025-10-25

Objective: This study aims to analyze the development of students’ communicative competence through the use of mobile applications in the educational process. Method: A descriptive and analytical approach was applied to evaluate the pedagogical potential of mobile platforms such as Duolingo, Google Classroom, Kahoot, and Telegram, focusing on their role in promoting interactive communication and learner engagement. Results: The analysis reveals that mobile applications significantly enhance students’ communicative competence by providing interactive, flexible, and learner-centered environments. However, the study also identifies methodological, technical, pedagogical, and psychological challenges that limit optimal integration and emphasizes the need for more empirical research on this topic. Novelty: This article contributes to educational methodology by presenting a comprehensive analysis of mobile-assisted learning tools as facilitators of communicative competence, highlighting both their pedagogical value and the current research gap in technology-mediated language education.
