A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF DERIVATIONAL AFFIXES IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK: MORPHOLOGICAL PATTERNS AND PRODUCTIVITY
Keywords:
Derivational affixes, morphology, EnglishAbstract
This article explores the derivational affixes in both English and Uzbek, focusing on their morphological patterns and productivity. By examining the similarities and differences between the two languages, the study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of how derivational affixes function within their respective linguistic systems. The investigation highlights the role of these affixes in word formation, the extent of their productivity, and the impact they have on language development. This comparative analysis contributes to a deeper understanding of cross-linguistic morphological structures and enhances the pedagogical approaches for teaching derivational morphology in both languages.
