MORPHOLOGICALLY STRUCTURED TERMS

Abstract

 This article examines the morphological structure of methodological terms in English and Uzbek from a comparative-analytical perspective. The study classifies terms into several categories, including simple, affixal, compound, abbreviated, and calqued forms. The findings demonstrate that affixation and compounding are the most productive word-formation strategies in both languages. However, English shows a stronger tendency toward compounding, whereas Uzbek predominantly relies on affixation. The analysis reveals both universal and language-specific characteristics of terminological formation. In addition, the study offers practical insights into the standardization, translation, and pedagogical application of methodological terminology, which is particularly important in multilingual educational contexts.
