Contemporary Technological Influences On Phraseological Development: A Linguistic And Sociocultural Analysis

Abstract

This research is aimed at identifying new phraseological units that have emerged under the influence of modern technologies in English and Uzbek languages, and analyzing their linguistic characteristics and social acceptance. The research was conducted in 2024-2025 based on a survey conducted on the Google Forms platform in two languages (English and Uzbek). Respondents from various social and age groups over 18 years old were involved. During the study of character phraseological units, phraseological units that emerged under the influence of modern technologies were separately identified and analyzed using quantitative and qualitative methods. In English, phraseological units that emerged under the influence of digital communication and internet memes such as “galaxy brain”, “grinding”, “couch potato” were identified.
