Syntactic and Derivational Features of Special Words in English and Uzbek Languages

Emotive, imitative, and modal words in the histories of English and Uzbek languages differ from their contemporary forms due to national conceptualization. Despite lacking nominative features and sharing similarities, these word categories vary in grammatical meaning, form, and function. The involvement and structure of exclamations, imitations, and modals in word formation deserve special attention. These words cannot be directly derived but serve as foundations for creating others. Their ability to facilitate the formation of various word groups places exclamatory, imitative, and certain modal words in a crucial position within the word-formation system. Thus, many of these words often appear in speech as nouns, adjectives, particularly verbs, and other verb forms rather than in their pure form.
This study aims to compare emotive, imitative, and modal words in English and Uzbek, examining their morphological, semiotic, stylistic, phonostylistic, and syntactic features from a pragmatic perspective. The research specifically seeks to analyze the morphological characteristics of these word groups in both languages, identify their lexical-semantic and semiotic structures, elucidate instances of semantic shifts, and examine their syntactic and word-formation features. The methodology includes linguistic description, classification, cognitive-semantic analysis, contextual analysis, pragmatic analysis, and cross-analysis.
This study investigates the lexical-semantic and semiotic composition of distinct word groups conveying emotionality, modality, imagery, expressiveness, and intensity, alongside the semantic shifts in understanding objective reality linked to the linguistic landscape of the world. The analysis clarifies the sequence of language, thinking, cognition, and emotion. Additionally, it shows that the syntactic and word-formation features of these word groups are limited in their use across colloquial, artistic, journalistic, official, and scientific registers of the Uzbek language.
