Аннотация

This article explores lexical creativity and word formation processes in Uzbek and American slang. It analyzes how social, cultural, and technological factors influence the creation of new slang expressions in both linguistic communities. Using a comparative approach, the study identifies similarities and differences in morphological processes such as borrowing, blending, clipping, and semantic shift. The findings demonstrate that while both Uzbek and American slang rely heavily on innovation and identity expression, the mechanisms and sources of lexical creativity differ due to historical and sociolinguistic contexts.
