Comparative Study of Attributive Constructions in English and Uzbek

Abstract

This article provides an in-depth comparative study of attributive constructions in English and Uzbek, emphasizing their grammatical structure, semantic scope, and functional usage within syntactic systems. Attributive constructions are fundamental linguistic units that modify nouns by expressing qualities, relations, possession, and classification, thereby enriching communicative precision. The study explores how typological differences between an analytic language (English) and an agglutinative language (Uzbek) influence the formation and interpretation of attributive relations. Through contrastive analysis, the research reveals that English predominantly employs fixed word order and pre-nominal modifiers, whereas Uzbek relies on morphological markers, suffixation, and relatively flexible syntactic positioning. The findings highlight the importance of understanding attributive constructions for translation accuracy, linguistic theory, and foreign language pedagogy.
