Abstract
This article examines how English-origin lexical items are adapted in Uzbek youth social media discourse. Using a qualitative sample from Telegram, Instagram, and TikTok, it identifies borrowing, code-switching, and hybrid formations, with particular attention to Uzbek morphology, Russian mediation, and the social meanings of English-origin forms.References
