| Open Access | ORNITHONYMS AND NATURE: A BIOLINGUISTIC STUDY
Nurimbetova Aysanem Gaybulla qızı , English teacher of secondary school №21 of Nukus, The Republic of Karakalpakstan, UzbekistanAbstract
This article explores ornithonyms — the names of birds — from a biolinguistic perspective. In folk language, bird names are not merely linguistic units; they reflect a community’s perception of nature, its observational capacity, and cultural mindset. The naming of birds is closely tied to their physical appearance, sound, behavior, and habitat. The study analyzes how these names are formed, how they reflect cultural heritage, and how they serve as a source of ecological and ethnobiological information. By integrating linguistic and biological approaches, the article aims to show the deep interconnection between human language and the natural world.
