LINGUISTIC FEATURES OF MEDICAL TERMS IN UZBEK AND RUSSIAN LANGUAGES

This article investigates the linguistic characteristics and structural complexities of medical terminology in Uzbek and Russian languages. It analyzes the etymology, morphological adaptations, and semantic shifts that medical terms undergo as they are incorporated from one language into another. Special attention is given to the influence of Russian on Uzbek medical vocabulary due to historical and socio-political factors, as well as the reverse process in recent developments. Through comparative analysis, the paper aims to identify patterns of linguistic borrowing and adaptation, offering insights into how medical terminology evolves in bilingual or multilingual environments. This exploration not only contributes to the academic field of medical linguistics but also enhances practical applications in medical translation and healthcare communication.
