Types of bilingualism in asymmetric language situations in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan

This article examines the types of bilingualism emerging in asymmetric language situations in Urgench (Republic of Uzbekistan) and Dushanbe (Republic of Tajikistan). The study adopts a broad interdisciplinary perspective, integrating linguistic, social, and psychological dimensions of bilingualism. Particular attention is paid to the age of second language acquisition (early and late bilingualism), as well as various functional types of ianguage use - coordinate and subordinate, active and passive, additive and subtractive bilingualism. The mechanisms of bilingualism formation are examined in the context of asymmetricai ianguage statuses and the functionai distribution of ianguages across institutional and personal discourses. The findings demonstrate that both the age of second ianguage acquisition and the sociocuiturai context determine not oniy the ievei of ianguage competence but aiso the type of bilingualism and the dynamics of ianguage interaction in individuai and group communication. The study emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive approach to the typoiogization of bilingualism, taking into account socioiinguistic and cognitive factors, and highiights the reievance of shifting from binary to continuum-based models of bilingualism classification for muitiiinguai regions.
