THE MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF EDUCATIONAL DICTIONARIES IN COMMUNICATING ACROSS CULTURES
Abstract
In an increasingly interconnected world, effective intercultural communication is vital for fostering understanding and collaboration among people of diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Educational dictionaries play a crucial role in facilitating this communication by providing learners with language resources and cultural insights. This article examines the role of educational dictionaries in promoting intercultural communication, with a specific focus on materials from the English and Uzbek languages. Through a comprehensive review of literature and analysis of English and Uzbek dictionaries, the study reveals how these resources incorporate cultural context, cater to various proficiency levels, facilitate cross-cultural comparisons, and utilize digital features to enhance learning experiences. The findings underscore the significance of educational dictionaries as indispensable tools for language learners seeking to navigate cross-cultural interactions effectively. By equipping learners with language skills and cultural awareness, educational dictionaries contribute to building bridges between individuals from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds.
