STUDYING UZBEK TERMS WITH THE HELP OF MORPHO-SEMANTIC APPROACH

This paper provides a brief terminological description of the selected English IT terms and their equivalents in the Uzbek language. The target terms are compared and analyzed based on the secondary term formation processes, with regard to morpho-semantic factors. The quantitative and qualitative analyses of the data indicate that various morpho-semantic factors are involved in the secondary term formation processes of the Uzbek IT terms. The findings demonstrate that the most of the incompatible equivalents have been found in lexi- cology area. Derivational capability and compliance with the language rules are two morpho-semantic factors which need further attention in Uzbek language
