Annotation: Recent years have seen a new phase in the cooperation between Uzbekistan and Afghanistan, particularly in the areas of cultural, humanitarian, trade and economic relations. This has contributed to the active expansion of economic terminology in the Dari language. The present article examines the composition, word formation methods and usage characteristics of economic terms in the Dari language, based on original examples. A thorough investigation was undertaken to ascertain the provenance (native and borrowed elements) and the methods of formation of 100 economic terms selected from online resources and printed publications in the Dari language. As is well established, the economic terminology of Dari, akin to that of other languages, was formed and enriched principally from two sources: the internal resources of the language itself and elements borrowed from other languages (words and phrases). The initial source encompasses the original lexical layer, comprising lexical units that were utilised in ancient times in the Persian and Dari languages, or that were derived from these languages employing their own word-formation mechanisms to articulate novel economic concepts. The second is the borrowed layer, represented by Arabic and European languages. The article demonstrates the efficacy of semi-affixation as a method of forming economic terms, while establishing the predominance of verbal semi-affixes over nominal ones. In the formation of complex terms, copulative compound words predominate (the model ‘verb + interfix + verb’). It has been established that Arabic and Persian borrowings in the composition of terms primarily reflect traditional forms of commercial transactions, while borrowings from European languages model the type of economic relations associated with the concept of ‘finance’.
Keywords: Afghanistan, Dari language, economic vocabulary, economic terms, finance, simple term, complex term, term-phrase, borrowed term.
