COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF NUMBER CATEGORY IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES
Keywords:
Number category, English language, Uzbek language, comparative analysis, singular, dual, plural forms, numerical markers, suffixes, cultural values, communication styles.Abstract
This article provides a comparative analysis of the number category
in English and Uzbek, examining the ways in which singular, dual, and plural forms are
used in each language to express quantity. English has a more straightforward number
system with numerical markers, whereas Uzbek has a more complex number system with
dual forms and distinct suffixes for various values. Whereas English's usage of numerical
markers reflects its grammatical structure, Uzbek's dual forms lend the language subtlety.
By looking at these variations, we can learn more about how languages influence
communication styles and serve as mirrors for cultural values.
