Abstract

This article explores the phenomenon of lexico-semantic assimilation of English tourism terminology into the Uzbek language, a trend increasingly observed amidst the globalization of the tourism sector. The infusion of English terms into Uzbek aims to facilitate communication and comprehension of tourism-related concepts. Through an examination of the assimilation process, this study scrutinizes the nuanced adaptations in both lexical and semantic dimensions of borrowed terms, alongside their alignment with Uzbek phonetic, morphological, and semantic structures. Furthermore, it probes the ramifications of these assimilated terms on local perceptions of the tourism industry, considering factors such as familiarity, professional discourse, cultural interchange, and economic prospects. These findings furnish valuable insights into the intricate linguistic and sociocultural interplay between English borrowing and Uzbek, shedding light on the pivotal role of borrowed tourism lexicon in shaping communication dynamics and societal perceptions within the local tourism milieu.
