Structural Organization of the Euphemistic Text of the Uzbek Language on the Example of the Nominative Field “Oolmok” (to Die) by Timur E. Alimov, Gulchekhra N. Davlatova, Khanym R. Sultanova

“…As a result of the quantitative analysis of the differential forms of explication of the structure of the euphemistic text “oolmok”, it was revealed that they are mainly presented at the level of figurative linguistic signs - euphemisms, due to the usual elements of the language, multi-component composition, generalized reference (to a large extent, allegorical attribution of linguistic signs to objects of reality), which are characterized by diffuseness of the semantics of the word with the maximum range of defocusing - removing from the focus of attention certain properties of the referent and tropic occasionality, reducing and veiling the effect of the stigmatic denotation of “oolmok” (to die). …”
