This thesis examines the interpretation of compound words in English and Uzbek languages. Compound words represent one of the most productive methods of word formation in both languages. The study analyzes their structural, semantic, and functional characteristics, highlighting similarities and differences in the interpretation of compounds. Special attention is paid to semantic transparency, lexicalization, and cultural influences on compound formation. The research demonstrates that despite typological differences between English and Uzbek, compounding serves similar communicative and nominative functions.
