Abstract

The semantic development of English compound words incorporated into Uzbek language is investigated in this work. History: Background English has become the most common source of lexical borrowing worldwide as globalisation speeds up language contact. Particularly in fields like technology, business, and popular culture, the rush of English compound words has fundamentally changed the Uzbek language. Understanding more general language patterns depends on knowing the semantic development of some borrowed words. With an eye towards their semantic changes after borrowing, the study uses qualitative analysis of particular English compound phrases adopted into Uzbek. Media sources, academic publications, and colloquial language were all used to compile data for assessments of trends of meaning expansion, contraction, or total transformation. Results show that many English compound names change in meaning during the adaption process.
