Abstract

Polisemiya, ya’ni bir leksik birlik ichida bir-biriga bog‘liq bo‘lgan bir nechta ma’nolarning birga mavjudligi nafaqat ingliz tili lug‘at boyligining asosiy jihati, balki hazil yaratishning asosiy mexanizmlaridan biridir. Ushbu tezis polisemiyaning ingliz tilidagi hazil, xususan, so‘z o‘yinlari, qo‘shma’noli iboralar va lingvistik o‘yinlarni yaratish va tushunishga qanday hissa qo‘shishini o‘rganadi. Tadqiqot kognitiv-pragmatik yondashuvdan foydalangan holda ingliz joklari, sitkomlari va ijtimoiy tarmoqlardagi haqiqiy misollarni tahlil qiladi. Topilmalar shuni ko‘rsatadiki, muvaffaqiyatli hazil tinglovchining polisemantik so‘zning turli ma’nolari o‘rtasidagi siljishni taniy olishiga bog‘liq. Bu tanib olish lingvistik kompetentsiyani va madaniy bilimlarni talab qiladi. Shuningdek, tadqiqot o‘zbek tilida so‘zlashuvchi ingliz tili o‘quvchilari uchun ta’sirlarni muhokama qiladi; ular til tuzilmasidagi va madaniy birlashmalardagi farqlar tufayli bunday hazilni tushunishda ko‘pincha qiyinchilikka duch kelishadi. Tezis polisemiyani hazilli misollar orqali o‘rgatish so‘z boyligini o‘zlashtirish va madaniy xabardorlikni oshirishi mumkin degan xulosaga keladi.
