Abstract

This article examines the formation, dissemination, and social functions of slang in the Uzbek language. It explores how slang emerges within youth communities, subcultures, and digital communication platforms, reflecting social identity, group affiliation, and pragmatic usage. The study also analyzes linguistic features of slang, including semantic flexibility, expressive potential, morphological mechanisms, and lexical innovations. Drawing on both local and international linguistic research, the article highlights the role of slang in shaping language dynamics, cultural identity, and contemporary communication practices in Uzbek society.
