The Transformation of English and Uzbek Anthroponyms in the Context of Globalization

Abstract

The research investigates how English and Uzbek anthroponymic systems undergo changes because of globalization. The study demonstrates that globalization results in two different yet simultaneous changes which affect naming practices through increased cross-cultural name adoption and name form changes and new reasons for choosing names. The research shows that both languages have developed modern name systems but their name conventions still show the cultural heritage which comes from their historical and linguistic backgrounds.
