2026-02-262026-02-26702513GRAMMATICAL STRUCTURE AS A PRAGMATIC MARKER OF PHRASEOLOGICAL MEANING IN A COGNITIVE-PRAGMATIC PERSPECTIV
https://mentaljournal-jspu.uz/index.php/mesmj/article/view/1229
<p>The article substantiates the idea that the grammatical structure of phraseological units functions as a pragmatic marker influencing interpretation, communicative intention and evaluative meaning. The study is carried out within the framework of cognitive‑pragmatic linguistics and is based on the works of E. S. Kubryakova, V. N. Telia, V. I. Karasik, N. D. Arutyunova, Z. D. Popova and I. A. Sternin, as well as on speech act theory developed by J. Austin and J. Searle and the pragmatic approach proposed by Sh. Safarov. The analysis of Russian and Uzbek material shows that grammatical organization is an essential component of pragmatic orientation rather than a neutral formal feature. The novelty of the research lies in developing a typology of grammatical models of phraseological units as pragmatic markers and in their contrastive analysis.</p> <ol> <li> </li> </ol>Abdukarim Musaev

https://mentaljournal-jspu.uz/index.php/mesmj/article/view/1230
<p>At the age of 14–16, judokas enter a highly intensive period of technical and tactical development. This article is aimed at studying the relationship between physical and psychological development, training loads, and the effectiveness of combinational actions. Based on the analysis of scientific literature, the anatomical and physiological characteristics of adolescent judokas, competition tactics, training structure, and personal qualities were examined. The results obtained through questionnaires, pedagogical observations, and statistical analysis indicate that athletes of this age possess high potential in strength and coordination abilities; however, their technical-tactical thinking and psychological preparedness are not sufficiently developed. The study substantiates the need to improve methods of teaching combined and counter techniques, to ensure age-appropriate distribution of training loads, and to enhance approaches to the development of personal qualities in young athletes.</p>Iroda Abdurakhmonova

https://mentaljournal-jspu.uz/index.php/mesmj/article/view/1233
<p>Humor is often seen as a captivating aspect of children's literature, yet its educational significance goes well beyond mere entertainment. This article delves into the use of humor as a teaching tool in Uzbek and English children's stories by conducting a comparative stylistic and pragmatic analysis of Gafur Gulom’s "Shum bola" (The Mischievous Boy) and Mark Twain’s "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer." The research seeks to uncover how humorous scenes, dialogues, and storytelling methods lead young readers to reflect on morals, become socially aware, and learn behaviors without overt moralizing. In "Shum bola," humor is intricately linked to the traditional Uzbek way of life and the daily experiences of common people, highlighting cultural values like diligence, patience, honesty, and community spirit. The comedic elements often stem from social circumstances, economic struggles, and the main character’s interactions with his environment, creating laughter that also imparts lessons on responsibility and empathy. Conversely, Twain’s novel uses irony and satire to critique societal hypocrisy and strict adult authority, particularly in the realms of school, family discipline, and community norms. Tom’s playful antics serve as a means of exploring freedom and individuality, emphasizing personal initiative and independent choices. The article employs a methodological approach that combines stylistic analysis (such as hyperbole, irony, dialogue humor, and expressive vocabulary) with pragmatic methods (including speech acts, implicature, and face strategies) to identify recurring humor patterns and their educational roles. The results show that humor in both works acts as a "soft pedagogical force," influencing ethical understanding and cultural values while maintaining entertainment and reader engagement.</p>Asalkhon Nabieva

<p>The present study analyzes the performance results of teams during the Republic stage of the Uzbekistan Laser Tag Championship held at the Uzbekistan State University of Physical Education and Sport. The research aims to evaluate players’ effectiveness in terms of points scored, frags, inactivity instances, shots fired, damage dealt, and damage received over three matches. A comprehensive statistical analysis of both Red and Blue teams’ performances was conducted to identify patterns in offensive and defensive strategies. Results show that the highest-performing players demonstrated high shooting activity and efficiency, while others exhibited lower effectiveness due to fewer frags or higher damage received. This study highlights the potential of laser tag as a digital sport to enhance students’ physical readiness, cognitive skills, and teamwork abilities. The findings can be used to optimize training programs and improve competitive strategies in digital sports.</p>Avazbek Muxamadaminovich

https://mentaljournal-jspu.uz/index.php/mesmj/article/view/1239
<p>The development of auditory ability in deaf and hard-of-hearing children is a central prerequisite for successful speech perception, language acquisition, and social inclusion. Despite significant advances in hearing technologies, such as hearing aids and cochlear implants, technological intervention alone does not guarantee functional hearing or oral communication. This article presents a comprehensive methodological analysis of approaches used to develop auditory skills in deaf and hard-of-hearing learners, drawing on both international research evidence and the educational context of Uzbekistan. Using a qualitative, evidence-based review methodology, the study examines three primary intervention frameworks: Auditory-Verbal Therapy, cochlear implant–based rehabilitation programs, and sign-supported or bilingual communication approaches. The findings demonstrate that early, intensive, and sustained auditory training—particularly when combined with family-centered practices—significantly improves listening and spoken language outcomes. Cochlear implantation yields the most favorable results when performed early and followed by structured post-implant rehabilitation. At the same time, early exposure to sign language or sign-supported speech is shown to prevent linguistic deprivation and to support overall cognitive and linguistic development, especially for children who derive limited benefit from auditory technology. The article argues for a flexible, individualized, and integrative methodological model that combines auditory, visual, and communicative strategies according to each child’s developmental profile. Such an inclusive approach is essential for maximizing communicative competence and facilitating the successful educational and social integration of deaf and hard-of-hearing children.a</p>Sohiba Djurayeva

https://mentaljournal-jspu.uz/index.php/mesmj/article/view/1243
<p>This paper examines the typology and functions of speech acts, with particular attention to illocutionary, perlocutionary, and locutionary components as theorized by J. L. Austin and J. R. Searle. By analyzing speech acts, including representatives, directives, commissives, expressives, and declaratives, the study highlights the complexity and multidimensionality of communicative behavior. The research emphasizes that a single utterance can simultaneously perform multiple functions depending on context, speaker intention, and social norms. Special focus is placed on etiquette speech acts and the ways in which nonverbal cues, performative verbs, and illocutionary force shape meaning.</p>Mokhirakhon Ibragimova
