THE CLASSIFICATION CRITERIA OF DYSPHEMISMS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES
Abstrakti
Dysphemisms, unlike their counterparts, euphemisms, are underexplored in linguistics. This lack of attention is evident in the absence of universally recognized classification systems for dysphemisms. While euphemisms enjoy widespread recognition and a robust body of research, dysphemisms are often relegated to secondary importance, frequently discussed only in juxtaposition with euphemisms. This article explores dysphemisms in English and Uzbek, examining their communicative, cultural, and linguistic significance. The paper delves into the reasons for their classification challenges, presents existing classification attempts, and contrasts their use in English and Uzbek.
