SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES OF CASE IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGE GRAMMAR

Abstract

ABSTRACT
This paper examines the case systems of English and the Uzbek language,
analyzing both the similarities and key differences between the two. English is known
for its relatively simple case system, with only a distinct possessive case ('s) and a few
remnants of the historical case system. In contrast, Uzbek is a Turkic language with a
more complex case structure, featuring several distinct cases that convey different
grammatical and semantic functions.The analysis will cover the core cases present in
each language, including the nominative, accusative, dative, and genitive cases. It will
explore how these cases are formed and used in sentence structures, as well as any
nuances or additional cases that exist. Key similarities that will be discussed include
the general concept of grammatical case to indicate the role of nouns and noun phrases
in a sentence. However, the paper will primarily focus on the substantial differences,
including the more robust case system in Uzbek compared to the largely vestigial case
system in English.The goal is to provide a comprehensive comparison that highlights
the unique characteristics of each language's case grammar, offering insights into the
typological differences between these Indo-European and Turkic language families.
This analysis will be valuable for linguists, language learners, and anyone interested in
cross-linguistic explorations of morphological structures..
