LINGUISTIC FEATURES OF PREDICATION IN UZBEK AND ENGLISH LANGUAGES

Abstract

Predication is an essential concept in linguistics, as it links the subject of a sentence with the verb phrase, which provides information about the action, state, or attribute of the subject. The linguistic features of predication in any language are shaped by its syntactic structure, verb morphology, and semantic rules. This article explores the linguistic features of predication in two typologically distinct languages—Uzbek and English. By examining how predication functions syntactically and semantically in both languages, the article aims to highlight their similarities and differences, offering a comparative analysis. Insights from prominent linguists, such as Noam Chomsky and Robert Van Valin, are incorporated to deepen the understanding of the concept.
