SPECIFIC ASPECTS OF PARAMETRIC STUDY OF LINGUISTIC UNITS

Abstract

This article provides a brief overview of the theory of universal grammar and linguistic parameters proposed by Noam Chomsky in the context of the development of world linguistics in the first quarter of the 21st century. It also highlights, with numerous examples, the history of the parametric study of the lexicon of Uzbek dialects. Reflections are given on the fact that Mahmud Kashgari and his dictionary constitute a multifaceted and in-depth study of the lexicon and semantics of Turkic languages, outlining the laws of their development.
