METHODOLOGY FOR A COMPARATIVE LINGUOPRAGMATIC AND STRUCTURAL-SEMANTIC STUDY OF MEDICAL DOCUMENTS IN UZBEK AND ENGLISH
Keywords:
contrastive linguistics, medical document, corpus, pragmatics, structural-semantic analysis, annotation, modality.Abstract
This article proposes a methodology for selecting, segmenting, annotating and interpreting Uzbek and English medical documents. Comparable corpora are distinguished from parallel translation corpora. Modality, negation, information source and communicative function form interconnected annotation layers. The framework includes procedures for assessing annotator agreement, controlling corpus composition and supporting reproducible interpretation.
