STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF TONGUE TWISTERS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

Abstract

This article presents a structural analysis of tongue twisters in the English and Uzbek languages. Tongue twisters are examined as stable oral texts characterized by specific phonetic, lexical, and syntactic patterns. The study aims to identify the structural components of tongue twisters and to compare their organization in two typologically different languages. The findings reveal both universal structural features and language-specific patterns determined by phonological systems and grammatical structures. The research contributes to contrastive linguistics, phonostylistics, and folklore studies.
