The article analyzes the ethnocultural aspects of
English abbreviations reflecting: a) national political
models, b) religious and moral values, c) national values
and lifestyle, d) professional identity and social status. The
main objective of the research is to reveal the
ethnolinguocultural characteristics of abbreviations in the
English language. The problem addressed is the
widespread use of abbreviations in various fields of English
and their ethnocultural and ethnolinguistic aspects.
Cultural and linguistic descriptive approaches are
employed as the methodological basis. For cultural
analysis, I. Darvishovʼs textbook “Ethnolinguistics,” G. A.
Botirbekova and S. B. Sharipovaʼs article
“Ethnolinguistics and Linguoculturology in Linguistics,”
and M. Z. Solijonovʼs research “Linguocultural Study of
the Conceptual Field of Narratives in English and Uzbek
Languages” were selected. The analysis reveals that
abbreviations in English are not only linguistic units but
also products of the interaction between culture, society,
and technology. Through them, people convey their
thoughts in a concise, fluent, and modern form. In
conclusion, the study of abbreviations is relevant not only
for linguistics but also for cultural studies, religious studies,
and sociology.
