Phonetics and Phonology: A Comparative Study of English and Uzbek

Abstract

The phonetic and phonological differences between English and Uzbek underscore the uniqueness of both languages. English's rich vowel system, variable stress, and complex intonation patterns make it a language full of phonemic distinctions. In contrast, Uzbek’s vowel harmony system, simpler vowel inventory, and predictable stress patterns create a language with its own distinct phonological rhythm. These differences present unique challenges and opportunities for learners of both languages, highlighting the beauty and complexity of linguistic diversity.The idea of the uniqueness of English and Uzbek linguistics emphasizes the specific features and structures that set each language apart. This distinctiveness can be seen in several linguistic elements.
