Abstract

Until now, paraphrases have not been a separate, special object of scientific research, and have not been studied in a monographic plan, not only in Uzbek linguistics but even in Turkology. Although paraphrases are actively used both in our oral and written speech as a means of artistic representation, they are one of the factors that show the richness of our language and the wide range of semantic possibilities. Paraphrases serve to make the speech effective, clear, logical, and unique. In Uzbek linguistics (also in Turkology), there are only a few articles that note that paraphrases have their own characteristics within the means of artistic representation and that they should be studied separately, along with the concise definition and comments given in the dictionaries about paraphrases. Consequently, the scientific-theoretical study of this figurative expression, its nature, and its essence are some of the issues that must be solved in today's Uzbek linguistics, especially stylistics. Based on this, in this article, for the first time, paraphrases were distinguished from related phenomena from a scientific and theoretical point of view, and their essence was revealed. Preliminary thoughts on the creation of paraphrases were also presented. The relationship of paraphrases with linguistic phenomena such as euphemism, phraseologism, synonymy, epithet, metaphor (artistic metaphor), metonymy, synecdoche, and functional transfer was highlighted. In addition, this article serves as a theoretical resource for the scientific study, analysis, and uncovering of the meaning of paraphrases, that is, other types of trope transfer, and also makes a significant contribution to the enrichment of existing thoughts on tropes in the field of stylistics; assists to understand and solve some aspects of the dialectic relationship between language and speech.
