This article analyzes pragmatic and derivational changes occurring in the speech of Uzbekspeaking
youth, using a corpus of social media and media texts from 2022–2026. The study draws on a
300,000-word corpus of comments on Telegram, Instagram, and YouTube, as well as 500 media texts from
online publications targeting youth. The results demonstrate that youth speech is not a simplified or corrupted
version of standard Uzbek, but a creative laboratory where new linguistic forms emerge and spread
