This article examines the contextual and structural characteristics of compound words in English and Uzbek languages. The study focuses on the formation, classification, semantic features, and functional roles of compound words in both languages. Through comparative analysis, similarities and differences between English and Uzbek compound word formation are identified. The research demonstrates that compound words constitute an important means of vocabulary enrichment and reflect linguistic as well as cultural peculiarities of both languages. The findings contribute to the understanding of word-formation processes in comparative linguistics and may be useful for language teaching, translation studies, and lexicography.
