Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate linguistic peculiarities of transport abbreviations in English and Uzbek languages as well as to show the main mediums of translating those terms from English into Uzbek. Design/methodology/approach: The authors use the mediums of comparative and statistical analysis for finding which methods of translation are common in presenting transport related abbreviations and exploring which method is dominant. The research objects are commonly used transport related abbreviations based on transport related dissertations and dictionaries. Findings: From our research followings are found: a) both in English and Uzbek three-component abbreviations are the most common than others; b) among four common methods of translating terms semi-calque method is used most (42%), the next common medium is meaning interpretation (28%); c) 44% of English abbreviations are not considered as abbreviations in Uzbek and they are simply presented as one or multi component terms; d) regarding syntagmatic relationship, nominative case is common in the English language, while in Uzbek the indicator of genitive case is also found. Originality/value: the article conducts a comprehensive study of the previously unexplored transport terminological system of the English language in comparison with the Uzbek language, in which common component abbreviations are found and their translation methods are analysed with relevant instances.
