EXPLORING THE LINGUISTIC LANDSCAPE OF COMPOUND NOUNS REFERRING TO NUMBERS: A SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY
Abstract
This study investigates compound nouns referring to numbers in Uzbek and English languages, exploring their morphological, syntactic, and semantic characteristics. Through a comparative analysis, similarities and differences in the formation and usage of numerical compounds are examined. In Uzbek, compound nouns may exhibit varied morphological formations, including compounding, affixation, and agglutination, reflecting the language's agglutinative nature. English compound nouns predominantly employ compounding, featuring fixed word order patterns. Both languages encapsulate numerical values within compound nouns to convey quantitative information, yet semantic specificity and lexicalization differ. Cultural and contextual factors influence the expression of numerical compounds, with English reflecting its linguistic traditions and Uzbek embodying cultural nuances. By unraveling the complexities of compound nouns referring to numbers, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of linguistic diversity and the interplay between language and numerical cognition in diverse cultural contexts.
