This article examines the role of literature in the historical development of language and the linguistic value of literary texts as sources for the study of language change. Literary works preserve the vocabulary, grammatical structures, stylistic resources and sociocultural features of the periods in which they were written. Drawing on historical linguistics, text linguistics, lexical-semantic analysis and stylistics, the article discusses the interplay between language and literature and outlines the contribution of the early Turkic written heritage, the works of Alisher Navoi, Jadid literature and contemporary writing to the development of the Uzbek literary language.
