This scientific article investigates the commonalities and comparative differences in word formation between English and Uzbek. English and Uzbek languages possess both similar and distinct features in terms of their morphological systems. Through the analysis of word formation processes, this scholarly research provides extensive information on morphological changes in both languages, including affixation, composition, shortening, and reduplication. This study contributes to a better understanding of cross-linguistic morphological comparison between Uzbek and English. This, in turn, serves as a useful scientific resource for linguists, translators, and educators to gain a deeper insight into the interrelationships between the two languages.
