DEVELOPMENT STAGES OF CONSTRUCTION VOCABULARY IN THE PERIOD OF INDEPENDENCE

Abstract

This article examines the stages of development of construction vocabulary in Uzbekistan since the country gained independence. It analyzes the revival of national construction terms during the early years of independence, including the process of substituting widely used Soviet-era technical terms with Uzbek equivalents and reintroducing traditional architectural terminology. The next stage highlights how foreign construction technologies, imported materials, and international cooperation contributed to the influx of English, Turkish, and other loanwords into the construction lexicon. The article also explores the emergence of digital and innovative terminology during the era of technological modernization, such as 3D design, BIM technology, laser scanning, and drone monitoring.
