THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS FOR CREATING A LINGUISTIC BASE OF THE FERGANA VALLEY DIALECTS AND INTEGRATING THEM INTO THE NATIONAL CORPUS OF THE UZBEK LANGUAGE

Abstract

This article comprehensively analyzes the issues of systematic study of the linguistic characteristics of dialects distributed in the Fergana Valley, their digitization and integration into the national corpus of the Uzbek language. Within the framework of the research, phonetic, morphological and lexical units were identified based on field materials, and a multi-layered linguistic annotation model was developed. The processes of transcription, normalization, enrichment with metadata of dialectal texts and their adaptation to the corpus architecture were scientifically covered. The article shows the importance of determining areal differences, creating opportunities for linguostatistical analysis, and the dialectal module in applied language technologies. The results of the research suggest a methodological model for preserving and systematizing Fergana Valley dialects in a digital environment.
