Comparative linguistics plays a crucial role in identifying similarities and differences across languages in order to explain their structural, semantic, and functional properties. This article investigates selected phonological, morphological, syntactic, and lexical features of English and Uzbek from a comparative perspective. The analysis highlights how typological distinctions—particularly analytic versus agglutinative structures—shape grammatical patterns and meaning formation. Findings reveal that both languages demonstrate unique strategies of word formation, sentence structure, and semantic expression, which have important implications for translation studies and second language acquisition. The study contributes to the broader understanding of cross-linguistic comparison and provides insights for further research in comparative linguistics.
