LINGUISTIC FEATURES OF COMPOUND WORDS IN ENGLISH
Abstract
In this given article the author analyzed the linguistic features and new formation and creation of the compound words in English and in Uzbek. Also, he tried to learn that Word formation is the creation of new lexical units based on the material and possibilities available in the language. This process serves to enrich the content of the language dictionary on a regular basis. One of the most commonly used word forms today, which is considered to be holistic and concise, as well as productive, is compound words. Compound words are a very important and relevant phenomenon for all languages. The author affirms that most of the new words and compound words that come into our language are in English. For example, a cell phone, a cheeseburger, a playboy, and so on. The English word-formation system has its own linguistic features, and the study of the phenomenon of word-formation in terms of synchronous and diachronic periods of language development has always been a topical issue. Including compound words in English requires special attention.
