PROCESSES OF VERB WORD-FORMATION IN RUSSIAN AND UZBEK LANGUAGES: TYPOLOGY AND FEATURES

Abstract

This study examines the processes of verb word-formation in Russian and Uzbek, focusing on typology and structural features. Russian, an inflectional Slavic language, utilizes prefixation, suffixation, conversion, and compounding to create semantically rich verbs, often interacting with the aspectual system. Uzbek, an agglutinative Turkic language, employs linear derivational suffixes to systematically indicate causativity, passivity, reciprocity, habituality, and other verbal functions. Comparative analysis reveals both typological differences and functional parallels, demonstrating how distinct morphological systems fulfill similar communicative and cognitive needs. The study contributes to cross-linguistic understanding, offering insights for linguistic theory, contrastive analysis, and language teaching, particularly in enhancing comprehension of verb derivation patterns in different typologies.
