WORD FORMATION TYPOLOGICAL FEATURES IN THE ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

Sobirov Ravshanbek Xasanovich , Alfraganus University

Abstract

In this article, the typological distinctions between the word forms of English and Uzbek—two linguistically different languages with different morphological systems—are examined. Uzbek is distinguished by its agglutinative structure, which is the result of adding several suffixes to a root to produce complex word forms that express a variety of grammatical functions, including case, number, and tense. On the other hand, English uses a more analytical method, combining derivation and inflection, and uses auxiliary verbs and word order to show grammatical links. This study classifies many morphological patterns in both languages by carefully examining word creation processes, emphasizing the distinct functions of affixation, composition, and zero derivation. Through a comparison of similar structures, including verb forms and noun changes, the study highlights how these typological elements influence language usage and learning. The knowledge of cross-linguistic morphological typology is enhanced by this study, which offers linguists, translators, and educators who study the connections between the Uzbek and English languages important new information.
