Abstract

The article "Linguistic features of children's lexicon in German and Uzbek languages" examines the specific characteristics of children's vocabulary in these two languages from a linguistic perspective. The study explores the linguistic features commonly observed in children's lexicon, including simplified vocabulary, concrete and familiar words, limited abstract concepts, overextensions and underextensions, phonological simplification, and other relevant linguistic phenomena. By analyzing the linguistic features of children's lexicon in German and Uzbek, the article aims to contribute to the understanding of language acquisition and development in these languages.
