The study of the categories of singular and plural in the linguistics of uzbek language

RESEARCH AND DISCUSSION

A cognate noun logically names more than one (many) objects as a species name. At the same time, the cognate noun also means a single object. For example, the lexeme sapling means both a single sapling and many saplings.

Apparently, the name of a noun depends on the semantics of the lexeme: the name of a noun depends on the state of speech, the lexical environment, in addition to the semantic properties of the lexeme. Nouns cannot be said to be singular, meaning plural, or plural. Patience, regardless of whether the seedlings represent a single or multiple objects - in the same form of the counting paradigm - in the form of a unit. There are also noun lexemes, which, by their semantic nature, always mean more than one subject: people, army; but such lexemes are called in the singular form of the counting paradigm. Thus, the fact that the noun lexeme, by its semantic nature, means a single or multiple objects is another phenomenon, and the paradigm of counting in the form of singular or plural is another phenomenon.

Usually a tree-singular, trees-plural is called a lexeme; it is approached on the basis of the counting paradigm. Logically, there are no trees, there are many trees. Because the shape of a tree means both a single object and all objects of this type, the concept of quantity is not limited. The morpheme -s in the form of trees limits the concept of quantity: some groups of trees are understood. From this point of view, the plural of a subject in a related noun lexeme is expressed by the lexeme itself, the -s morpheme represents the semaphore "bounded" and the morpheme, which is defined in opposition to it, represents the semaphore "unlimited".

In most cases, the zero form is considered only as a unit. Some are skeptical of its place in the numerical category, arguing that it does not represent the plural or the singular. Since the zero form is devoid of quantitative grammatical meaning, how is it possible to understand that the -s form takes place in the same environment? In it, the word "soldiers" would have been used logically (soldiers) in the words from right to left.

So, -s and zero form are grammatical indicators of quantity in modern Uzbek language. This does not mean that they mean pure quantity. While the quantitative sign has a categorical meaning in these forms, it also has a qualitative and other connotations.

CONCLUSION.

In modern Uzbek, the affix -s is an omomorpheme, which, as a member of the counting paradigm, serves to express several meanings.

This affix is also used in some morphemes of the relational paradigm, the paradigm of relativity. A member of the paradigm of counting the affix -s involved in other morpheme paradigms can be said to be homonymous with respect to the affix -s. In addition, there is the morpheme -s, which is based on comparative morphemes and expresses the meaning of respect.

In conclusion, our native language, Uzbek, has always been grammatically and artistically studied, analyzed, developed and refined. In particular, the category of numbers, which is one of the many grammatical categories in it, has been studied and justified by many linguists. In addition, modern Uzbek linguists continue to explore new aspects of this category due to their research in this area.
