National language and literary language
Answers are for parents and teachers.
1
Write two dialect words or forms from your region and find how they are said in the literary language.
For example: «jaxshi – yaxshi» (good), «jo‘q – yo‘q» (no). The exact answer depends on the pupil’s dialect.
2
Compare the oral and written forms of the literary language and write 3 differences.
Oral: intonation, pauses, live contact; written: spelling, punctuation, a chance to revise.
3
Write an explanation of 4–5 sentences on the national language and the literary language.
Model: the national language is the broad notion; the literary language is its normalised highest form; dialects stand outside the norm; the literary language has oral and written forms.
4
Why is it important to care about the purity of the language? Give your view in 3–4 sentences.
For example: the language is a nation’s spiritual property; senseless overuse of borrowings blurs meaning; following the norm makes speech understandable.
