Abstract

The speech of teenagers differs from the already formed speech of adults in its tendency to change. Such changes usually occur as a result of extralinguistic factors. The peculiarity in the speech of adolescents is observed mainly in the lexical and syntactic layers of speech. Although most of the words found in the oral speech of teenagers are borrowed from the outside, cases of giving a new meaning to a word and forming a new word are also common among them. On the other hand, innovations at the syntactic level are noticeable in the phenomenon of speech inversion. The current study involved students in grades 7 to 8 of School No. 26 in Karshi, as well as students in grades 7 and 8 of the presidential School in Karshi. The material for the study was spontaneous oral presentations of students recorded on a dictaphone. The study showed that inversion phenomena in the speech of secondary school students are almost 3 times more common than in the speech of specialized school students. That is, in the speech of adolescents, the phenomenon of inversion is more often used not to focus attention on a particular fragment, but to include information stuck in the speech process in the sentence.
