THE NEW TREND OF WORD FORMATION IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

Abstract

This paper analyzes modern trends in word formation in English and Uzbek languages from both theoretical and practical perspectives. The study focuses on spoken and written language, highlighting the role of globalization, technological development, and social media in accelerating lexical innovation. English, as an analytic and global language, demonstrates high productivity through affixation, compounding, blending, acronyms, and borrowing. Uzbek, an agglutinative Turkic language, mainly relies on suffixation and controlled borrowing, especially after independence. The research presents a comparative and historical overview, supported by statistical observations from dictionaries and corpora. Additionally, cultural and educational implications of new word formation are discussed, emphasizing the balance between linguistic modernization and preservation of national identity.
