THE PRINCIPLE OF ECONOMY IN WORD FORMATION

Author: Ikramova, Zarnigor

Annotation: The concept of economy in linguistics linguists often refer to the idea that "language cancels out", "language destroys something", "language seeks to get rid of something", "language tries to avoid heavy speech structures", and so on. puts forward. Of course, language itself, as a system of signs, does not have its own will and purpose. It is the speakers themselves who subconsciously seek to minimize the effort required in communication - and pronunciation - for speech movements, speech energy, and the effort expended to transmit certain information. The law of saving speech time, especially in the style of conversation, has situational and social limitations. Therefore, it often leads to harsh complaints from enthusiasts about the purity of the literary norm. But the law of conservation of language resources is the most controversial among linguists. Indeed, according to this law, many languages have “additional” grammatical categories and forms, for example, from the point of view of some linguists, a gender category because modern languages do not have a gender semantics. But this means that “asexual” languages like English and Turkish are better and more economical than developed languages with gender categories such as Russian, German and others. Russian linguist Budagov was critical of the law of economics, given the ambiguity of such statements. The principle of economics is universal because it serves as one of the main causes of change in all languages. This principle also demonstrates its multifaceted role in terms of perspective. That is, it finds expression at all levels of the language system. The means of implementing this principle at each level have their own characteristics and will be considered separately. The research made it possible to identify basic word-formation models of the English language. This results in affixal formations, which have the most important productivity in all parts of speech as they have come a long way in historical development. Methods such as word formation and word combination give the basic number of newly formed words. The study of effective practice of new term construction will help to identify external and internal laws, as well as trends in the process of word formation.
