Abstract

This study explores the lexical way of expressing causative constructions in English and Uzbek languages, focusing on how each language uses specific verbs to inherently convey causative meanings. Lexical causatives are verbs that encapsulate the notion of causation within their structure, allowing for concise and direct communication of actions where one entity causes another to act or change state. Furthermore, Uzbek utilizes affixes to derive new causative verbs from existing ones, showcasing a high degree of morphological productivity. The study highlights the efficiency of lexical causatives in both languages while noting the broader metaphorical applications in English and the straightforward, affix-driven approach in Uzbek. This comparative analysis enhances our understanding of the linguistic strategies for expressing causation and the cognitive and cultural factors influencing language use.
