PSYCHOLINGUISTIC FEATURES OF TEXTS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK

Abstract

Annotation: This article aims to investigate the psycholinguistic characteristics
of texts in English and Uzbek. The study employs a quantitative approach and analyzes
a corpus of texts in both languages, examining factors such as word frequency, lexical
diversity, and sentence complexity. The results indicate that the two languages differ
significantly in terms of these linguistic features, with English texts generally
displaying higher levels of complexity and diversity. The implications of these findings
for language learning and teaching are discussed, with suggestions made for how
instructors can use these differences to optimize language instruction.
