Verbs expressing human behavior play a significant role in language as they describe actions, states, and processes related to human activity, emotions, and psychological conditions. These verbs, which include smile, cry, laugh, frown, sigh, tremble, and shiver, exhibit unique syntactic behaviors across different languages. This study explores the syntactic features of human behavior verbs in English and Uzbek, focusing on their transitivity, argument structure, aspectual variations, and syntactic environments. Using corpus-based methods, we analyze how these verbs function in different sentence structures, their valency patterns, and their collocational tendencies in both languages. The findings reveal that while English behavior verbs often participate in both active and passive constructions, Uzbek behavior verbs frequently undergo affixation and aspectual modifications rather than passive transformation. Additionally, auxiliary verbs and modal constructions contribute to the syntactic diversity of behavior verbs in Uzbek.
