COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ENGLISH AND UZBEK WORD FORMATION

This paper presents a comparative study of word formation processes in English and Uzbek, focusing on morphological structures, types of word formation, and the productivity of each process in both languages. While English is an analytic language with a tendency toward affixation and compounding, Uzbek is an agglutinative language that extensively employs affixation, especially suffixation, to create new words. The study highlights similarities, differences, and the cultural and historical influences that have shaped the development of word formation mechanisms in both languages.
