Comparative Analysis of Educational Terminology in English And Uzbek Languages Structural, Semantic and Functional Aspects

Аннотация

This article presents a comparative linguistic analysis of educational terminology in English and Uzbek, focusing on structural, semantic, and functional aspects. It explores how educational terms are formed through word-formation processes such as affixation, compounding, and borrowing in both languages. The study also examines the semantic scope of key terms, revealing differences in abstraction, cultural specificity, and conceptual overlap. Functionally, the paper highlights how these terms are used in academic, policy, and classroom discourse. The findings indicate that English terms are often more technical and abstract, while Uzbek terms are culturally rooted and contextually practical. The increasing use of English loanwords in Uzbek educational discourse reflects global influences but also creates challenges for clarity and equivalence. This research contributes to bilingual terminology development, educational translation, and cross-cultural understanding in pedagogical settings.
