The Importance of Creating a Frequency Dictionary of Morphological Verb Forms in the Uzbek Language

Thus, a frequency compiled dicti onary of verb morphological forms in the Uzbek language is an important task in quantitative detecting the real,known frequency of usage of grammatical forms in real speech and the necessity of help for corpus-based linguistic investigation and language teaching. Verbs are among the most dynamic and complex grammatical classes, and the corpus-based linguostatistical analysis of absolute and relative frequencies, functional gradation, and iterative activity of inflectional forms denoting the functional styles in the “UzVerbCorpus” enable tracking their activity level across functional styles. So far, linguostatistical research on Uzbek has exclusively targeted lexicon and systematic morphostatistical research on verbs is still rare because of the agglutinative nature and structural complexity of Uzbek morphology. In our research we set out to create a methodological basis for the creation of frequency dictionaries of morphological forms of Uzbek verbs and to quantify their distribution in modern speech. This study shows the potential for morphostatistical analysis to be corpus-driven, emphasizes the core and peripheral nature of grammatical forms in terms of usage, and contributes graded data for grammar instruction and linguistic modelling. It is one of the pioneering 21st century efforts to adapt frequency dictionary development for verb grammatical forms in Uzbek using some of the emergent grammar theory and corpus linguistics principles. These results help us to develop more effective grammar instruction, calibrate assessment against international standards such as CEFR, strengthen computational linguistic resources, and further functional grammar research with real world, usage-based data.
