This article explores the methodology of comparative analysis of information technology terminology in English and Uzbek from linguistic, terminological, and pragmatic perspectives. The study aims to identify the structural, semantic, and functional characteristics of IT terms in both languages and to reveal similarities and differences in their formation, adaptation, and usage. The research is based on comparative-linguistic, descriptive, and semantic analysis methods, which enable a systematic examination of terminology within the rapidly developing field of information technology. Special attention is given to borrowing processes, translation strategies, terminological equivalence, and the influence of globalization on the development of Uzbek IT vocabulary. The findings demonstrate that while English serves as the primary source of information technology terminology worldwide, Uzbek adapts these terms through various linguistic mechanisms, including transliteration, calquing, and semantic extension. The study highlights the importance of accurate terminological standardization for effective professional communication, translation practices, and foreign language education. The results contribute to the fields of terminology studies, applied linguistics, translation studies, and information technology communication.References
