Keywords:

Word formation plays an essential role in the development and enrichment of vocabulary in any language. One of the most productive methods of word formation is compounding, which involves combining two or more lexical units to create a new word with a specific meaning. The present article investigates the formation, structural characteristics, and functional usage of compound words in English and Uzbek. The study focuses on the semantic and morphological features of compounds and analyzes similarities and differences between the two languages. Particular attention is paid to the classification of compound words and their role in expanding lexical resources. The findings demonstrate that although English and Uzbek belong to different language families, both languages employ compounding as an effective mechanism of vocabulary development.
