A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ADJECTIVES IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

Abstract

This article examines the grammatical, semantic, and functional characteristics of adjectives in English and Uzbek languages from a comparative linguistic perspective. Adjectives constitute an essential part of speech in both languages, serving to describe the qualities, properties, and attributes of nouns. Despite sharing common semantic functions, English and Uzbek adjectives exhibit significant differences in morphology, syntactic position, degree formation, and derivational patterns. The study employs comparative and descriptive methods to identify similarities and distinctions between the two languages. The findings reveal that English adjectives are predominantly analytical in nature, whereas Uzbek adjectives demonstrate a greater degree of agglutinative and derivational flexibility. The article contributes to the understanding of cross-linguistic adjective systems and provides insights for language teaching, translation studies, and contrastive linguistics
