language, which is the integrity of the 
content, intonation and structure of speech. This is 
the 
basis 
of 
Uzbek 
language 
punctuation. 
Punctuation 
is 
used 
to 
describe 
phonetic-
phonological devices (ascending tone, descending 
tone, wavy tone, counting tone, pause, supersegment 
units) that play an important role in shaping the 
content of speech and speech [2,3]. . 
The basis of punctuation is understood what 
punctuation marks depend on. The first basis of 
Uzbek punctuation is the grammatical system of the 
Uzbek language, which forms the integrity of the 
content, intonation and structure of speech. This is 
the basis of Uzbek language punctuation. The 
second basis of Uzbek language punctuation is the 
Russian language punctuation system. This is due to 
the fact that most of the punctuation in the Uzbek 
language is borrowed from the Russian language, 
and the punctuation in the Russian language is 
scientifically 
and 
theoretically 
developed. 
Punctuation in modern Uzbek is classified into four 
categories - place of use, method of use, structure 
and function. Punctuation is divided into three main 
groups depending on the place of use: 
1. Punctuation at the end of a sentence; 
2. Punctuation used in a sentence; 
3. Punctuation used in combination; 
Punctuation at the end of a sentence includes 
full stops, question marks, and exclamation marks. 
Punctuation at the end of a sentence has the 
following general features: 1) indicates the 
completion of the sentence; 2) indicates the meaning 
of the sentence; 3) indicates the limit of completion 
of the sentence, the separation of the sentence from 
the next sentence; 4) they perform a different 
function when used elsewhere from the end of a 
sentence and are used for certain purposes. 
Sentences with a full stop, question marks and 
exclamation marks are in the form of one-syllable 
and 
two-syllable, 
complete 
and 
incomplete, 
affirmative and negative, simple and compound, 
excerpts and assimilations [ 4]. 
The question mark is placed in the following places: 
1. After the words of the question: You have one 
son, which one of us will you marry? (O. Hoshimov) 
2. If a word or sentence in the text raises suspicion 
or misunderstanding, a question mark is placed after 
such a word or sentence and it is enclosed in 
parentheses: After the food has been attacked (?), 
The guests have left. They put their hands on the 
table (?!). (Oybek) 
3. If words and phrases such as who, what, how, 
when, how, what did are used in the sense of 
interrogation, they are followed by a question mark: 
Subject answers the questions like who ?, what ?, 
where? 
The exclamation mark is used in the 
following places: 
1. After the emotional exhortation: Here you would 
see the spectacle! (O. Hoshimov) 
2. After the command words in the sense of 
command, wish, dream-hope: Interrogate the 
accused Jumanov! (O'Hoshimov) 
3. An exclamation mark is placed at the beginning of 
a sentence, followed by emotionally motivated 
words, exclamation words, and modal words yes and 
no. 
4. Inseparable sentences in parts, when nominative 
sentences are emotional, are followed by an 
exclamation mark: You did not work in retail. 
Awesome! Suddenly a familiar voice called from the 
big gate: - Ermat aka! Gulnara was very excited. 
(Oybek) 
5. An exclamation mark is placed at the beginning of 
the speech and after the emotional urges: My 
mothers! How on earth did you come here? 
(A.Qahhor). 
It is known that in order to eliminate some 
confusion about the use of punctuation, a group of 
leading scientists of the Institute of Language and 
Literature named after Alisher Navoi of the 
Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan 
by prof. N.Mahmudov, associate professor 
A.Madvaliev, associate professor N.Makhkamov 
"Basic rules of punctuation of the Uzbek language" 
was developed. 
Following the approval of the Scientific 
Council of the Institute, the "Rules" were published 
in the 1st issue of the magazine "Uzbek language 
and literature" in 2015 and in the issues of the 
newspaper "Ma'rifat" on April 1, 4, 8, 11, in 2015, 
further improved on the basis of positive feedback, 
suggestions and recommendations received from 
readers of magazines and newspapers. "Basic rules 
of punctuation of the Uzbek language" was 
approved by the Scientific and Methodological 
Council of the Republican Education Centre of the 
Ministry of Public Education of the Republic of 
Uzbekistan [4]. 
However, 
these 
guidelines 
cite 
methodological skills as punctuation, which is 
important in the formation of speech, such as
