- Abstract
- In the current research, the tense and aspect are examined in both in English and Uzbek in a comparative linguistic context. The major goal is to identify the way in which both languages conceptualize and grammatically encode the differences in time and in aspect. The study uses a contrastive-descriptive approach with a bias on the basis of real linguistic data, grammatical literature, and literature published in the past which are available in the database of academic literature. As the analysis shows, English as an analytic language reflects tense and aspect on the auxiliary verbs and participial forms, and it is possible to explicitly differentiate between the perfective and progressive meaning. Uzbek, which is an agglutinative language, on the other hand, expresses the same time and aspect concept through the use of suffixation and contextual use. Even though both systems are reflections of the universal categories of time and action, there are significant differences in the realizations of the structure. These results verify that tense and aspect are the language-specific phenomenon determined by typological factors. The findings of the study are pedagogical to the teaching of language and translation, especially in tackling the problem experienced by Uzbek English learners of the language to learn the aspectual contrasts which are not marked grammatically in their mother-tongue.
