Abstract

This article examines the theoretical foundations of the concept of terminological culture in the Uzbek language during the period of independence, its close relationship with speech literacy, and current issues related to the use of terms in modern discourse. The study analyzes the linguistic and social essence of terminological culture, the activation of national terms, and changes in attitudes toward international terms. It also highlights problems in the use of terminology in official, scientific, and mass media discourse and reveals their impact on speech literacy. The article substantiates the role of the education system, terminological dictionaries, and digital technologies in enhancing terminological culture. The research findings conclude with practical recommendations aimed at developing terminological culture and improving speech literacy.
