PHONOLOGY AND CULTURE: LINGUISTIC ASPECTS OF INTERACTION
Keywords:
phonology, culture, identity, oral traditions, intonation, dialect, globalization, phonostylisticsAbstract
This article explores the interrelationship between phonology and culture, demonstrating how sound systems not only structure language but also reflect cultural identity, history, and cognitive processes. By comparing English, Uzbek, and Russian linguistic traditions, the study highlights how phonological patterns are shaped by cultural contexts and, in turn, influence communication, identity, and intercultural interaction. The research applies comparative, sociophonetic, and phonostylistic methods and draws on works of British, American, Russian, and Uzbek linguists. The article concludes that phonology is not a purely structural phenomenon but a cultural and cognitive reality, inseparable from human communication and social development.
