MORPHOLOGICAL FEATURES OF ADJECTIVES IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK

Abstract

This study explores the morphological features of adjectives in English and Uzbek, focusing on their structural, derivational, and inflectional properties. English adjectives display morphological processes such as comparative and superlative formation, derivational suffixation (e.g., -ful, -less, -able), and limited agreement in certain syntactic contexts. Uzbek adjectives, as part of an agglutinative Turkic language, exhibit richer morphological inflection, including case agreement, degree, and derivational affixation. By comparing the two languages, the study highlights typological differences and similarities, illustrating how morphological structure affects syntactic behavior, semantic nuance, and stylistic variation. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of cross-linguistic adjective morphology and informs both theoretical linguistics and applied language studies
