Structural And Semantic Features Of Transport Logistics Terminology: A Comparative Study Of English And Uzbek
Abstract
This article is devoted to the structural and semantic analysis of transport logistics terminology in English and Uzbek by applying a contrastive linguistics approach. The study concentrates on how morphological and semantic features of specialized terms are formed and used in both languages. The analysis was conducted on data collected from logistics textbooks, industry documents, and corpora in English and Uzbek. Furthermore, morphological, semantic field and statistical analyses were employed to investigate the structural and semantic patterns of these terms. Having carried out the research, the following findings were revealed: (1) English transport logistics terminology relies heavily on compounding and borrowing, while Uzbek terminology makes use of agglutination and native word formation. (2) Semantic analysis showed that English terms tend to be more abstract, whereas Uzbek terms are more specific and descriptive, often reflecting culturally specific practices. (3) The study also revealed that understanding these linguistic differences can enhance cross-cultural communication and translation accuracy in the logistics industry. Lastly, the statistical analysis found out that compounding and borrowing are the most frequent morphological processes in English, while agglutination dominates in Uzbek.
