HISTORICAL AND MODERN LAYERS OF LOGISTICS TERMINOLOGY RELATED TO THE STORAGE AND PACKAGING OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLE PRODUCTS: LINGUISTIC AND COMPARATIVE RESEARCH

Abstract

In this article, modern and ancient logistics terms related to the process of storing and packaging fruit and vegetable products are analysed from linguistic and comparative perspectives. The study examines international terms based on the experience of Europe and the USA, as well as their use and interpretation in the Uzbek language. The main focus is on determining the etymology, lexical definitions, lexical-semantic features, and place of terms in the terminological system. Also, the article examines terms related to ancient methods of storing fruit and vegetable products using the example of Uzbekistan, Central Asia, and other countries of the world, and their semantic features are analyzed from a linguistic point of view. Modern logistics terms, including such concepts as Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), Controlled Atmosphere (CA), and cold chain, are studied in comparison with terms related to historical storage methods. The research is based on data from FAO, USDA, etymological and terminological dictionaries, as well as archae obotanical sources. The research results serve to illuminate the formation and development of logistics terminology from a linguistic point of view. The article is intended for specialists conducting research in the field of logistics terminology and applied linguistics.
