FOREWORD 
 
The comparative typology of the English and Uzbek languages is 
the discipline taught at the philological faculties where the English 
language is taught as the speciality ( 5111400 ‒ Foreign languages and 
literature ( Inglish language and literature) for Bachelors. In the book
genetic and typological peculiarities of the English and Uzbek 
languages are demonstrated in comparative aspect. The existed 
distinctions and similarities between these non-ralated languages are 
defined systematically. Professors J.Buranov, U.K. Yusupov and M.I. 
Rasulova carried out a lot of theoretical and practical scientific 
invesigations and made a great contribution in defining the distinctions 
and similarities in the structures of the English, Russian and Uzbek 
languages. J.Buranov says that the comparative typology is a branch of 
general linguistic typology and it compares the systems of two or more
concrete languages’ systems, their concrete categories and comparing
linguistic phenomena in the systems of compared languages , this 
discipline creates concrete typological rules and laws. 
In the process of comparing non-related languages by using cross-
level approach the typologist defines special peculiarities in all levels 
of compared languages interconnected and interdependent on each 
other. 
The results obtained in the process of researches in the field of 
comparative typology are used in creating linguistic universals and 
definite typological rules and laws. 
As we know the Uzbek language is the Turkic language
belonging to the Altay family of languages which is typologically 
agglutinated. The English language is the Germanic language 
belonging to the Indo- European family of languages which is 
typologically inflected, inclined to be analytical, because in the course 
of historical development the Old English language which was deeply 
inflected has lost its rich system of declension and conjugation , the 
compensation of which is performed by the rich system of prepositions 
and analytical forms being carried out by the combination of the 
auxiliary words with the notional ones and by order of words in the 
sentence.

This book gives theoretical interpretation of the comparative 
typology of languages, detailed description of the inflected, 
agglutinated, isolated, polysynthetic (incorporative) and agglutinated- 
inflected languages , demonstrating their differencial and universal 
characters, methods of comparing related and non-ralated languages, 
differencial and similar features of phonemes, morphemes and 
technique of adding affixal morphemes to the root morphemes, 
peculiarities of zero morphemes and allomorphs, differencial and 
similar features on the syntactical level of the compared languages 
concerning syntactical relations : coordination, subordination, 
predication, and syntactical ties: agreement, government and adjoining 
in the process of forming word-combinations, distinctions and 
similarities in order of words in the sentence, differencial and similar 
peculiarities on the lexical level of compared languages concerning 
word-formation. 
It is known that in the period of former Soviet Union the Uzbek 
language was researched on the basis of the methods used for the 
analysis of the Russian language. And in most cases the linguistic 
phenomena existed in the structure of the Russian language were 
fastened on the structure of the Uzbek language. The independence of 
our country gave us the chance of researching the structure of the Uzbek 
language by functional- systemic method using cross-level approach to 
the language it is compared with , taking into consideration that
