Keywords:
English-speaking cultures, Uzbek youth language, language borrowing, slang, globalization, digital communication [5, 6]Abstract
The study examines the influence of English-speaking cultures on the language practices of modern Uzbek youth. Exposure to English media, music, films, and social networks has led to the adoption of English loanwords, idioms, and slang into everyday speech among young people. These linguistic borrowings not only enrich the Uzbek lexicon but also reflect social identity, globalization trends, and cultural interaction. Research indicates that the incorporation of English elements affects informal communication, digital messaging, and youth subcultures, shaping contemporary language usage patterns [1, 2]. Understanding this influence is essential for linguists, educators, and policymakers to address language evolution and to develop effective language teaching strategies [3, 4].
