Abstract

The analysis of the position of adjectives is a subject of a great interest, as it explores the syntactic placement of adjectives in both languages. In English, adjectives generally precede nouns (a beautiful house), while in Uzbek, they usually do as well (chiroyli uy), but can follow in emphatic or poetic contexts (uy chiroyli). The study highlights differences in adjective usage, such as English relying on gradation and compound structures, whereas Uzbek employs contextual and suffix-based clarity. This comparative analysis is useful for linguists and language learners aiming to understand cross-linguistic adjective positioning.
