COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF PARTS OF SPEECH IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES
Keywords:
The study of parts of speech forms a fundamental aspect of linguistic analysis, offering insights into the grammatical frameworks and syntactic structures of languages. This article undertakes a comparative analysis of parts of speech in English and Uzbek, two languages with distinct typological backgrounds. English, a Germanic language, features a relatively fixed word order and relies on a combination of inflection and periphrasis to convey grammatical relationships.Abstract
This article presents a comparative analysis of parts of speech in English and Uzbek languages, highlighting both similarities and differences in their grammatical structures. English, a Germanic language, and Uzbek, a Turkic language, exhibit distinct typological features that influence the categorization and usage of parts of speech. The study explores the primary categories: nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. In English, parts of speech are largely defined by syntactic roles and morphological markers, with a significant emphasis on word order and inflection. Uzbek, characterized by its agglutinative structure, relies heavily on suffixation to indicate grammatical relationships and functions, resulting in a more flexible word order. The analysis includes a detailed examination of each part of speech, comparing their formation, functions, and syntactic behavior. By investigating these linguistic elements, the article provides insights into the structural nuances of English and Uzbek, contributing to broader discussions in comparative linguistics and aiding in the understanding of language typology and grammar.
