This article investigates the phenomenon of interlingual interference and semantic changes in the Russian speech of Uzbek-Russian bilinguals. Particular attention is given to the influence of the Uzbek language on the phonetic, lexical, grammatical, and syntactic structures of Russian speech. The study examines the mechanisms of language interaction, semantic transfer, lexical substitution, calquing, and the contextual transformation of lexical units. It also explores the sociolinguistic and cognitive factors contributing to interference in bilingual communication. The article emphasizes that interlingual interference is not merely a source of linguistic errors but also an important manifestation of language contact and bilingual linguistic behavior. The analysis demonstrates that semantic changes in bilingual speech are closely connected with differences in the conceptual systems, cultural backgrounds, and communicative practices of Uzbek and Russian speakers. The findings may contribute to the development of contrastive linguistics, sociolinguistics, bilingualism studies, and methods of teaching Russian as a foreign language.References
