A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF WORD ORDER IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

Abstract

This article presents an in-depth comparative exploration of word order in English and Uzbek languages, identifying the structural, functional, and pragmatic differences between them. By examining the canonical and flexible syntactic arrangements specific to each language, the paper aims to uncover both the typological distinctions and the communicative strategies embedded in the use of word order. The study utilizes contemporary linguistic theory, supported by authentic examples, to illustrate how cross-linguistic contrasts in sentence structure arise from historical development and morphological character. The findings not only provide insights for language learners and teachers, but also highlight broader implications for translation, comparative linguistics, and intercultural communication.
